"My three teams which will qualify are DC, RCB and Mumbai Indians. These are the three that will qualify. And I think it is going to be pretty close between RR and Kings XI, these are the two teams, out of which you will get the fourth team," said Gavaskar on Star Sports' Cricket Live.

Former Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara, however, expressed doubts about DC's chances.

"Well, Mumbai is quite secure, I think RCB will make it there as well. I am suddenly worried about Delhi Capitals. In the last few games, their batting hasn't really looked as strong as it should've. It's highly dependent on their top order, no of the other batsman have got the quick runs. So, they could be the third one, but I would not be too sure," he said.

"I would say, Kings XI Punjab will make it there as well. And the fourth one, I am just struggling to make a concrete prediction on the fourth one."
