Tendulkar-led Mumbai Indians are the favourites: Gilchrist

With IPL 4 nearing halfway mark of league stage, Kings XI Punjab skipper Adam Gilchrist on Monday said the competition is wide open, barring Mumbai Indians' strong position at the top, and every side would be desperately looking to win each game.

"Mumbai (Indians) now have five wins (from six games), but rest of the group is really packed in there and it is going to be very even competition," 39-year-old Gilchrist said on the sidelines of a promotional event. He reckoned Sachin Tendulkar-led Mumbai are the favourites in the competition.

"They are the best team in the competition, no doubt about that. They have a star-studded line-up that includes some good Indian domestic talent," he said, adding KXIP were looking forward for a good show in the away and home game against them next month.
