IPL 2020 – the best IPL ever?

IPL 2020 has been filled with uncertainties. Nail-bitting thrillers, super overs, injuries, controversies, records, etc., you name it! It has been everything the fans needed during these tough times caused by the pandemic.

We’re at the business end of the tournament, and it still isn’t clear as to which team will occupy that number 4 position of the points table. To put it in perspective, KXIP were at the bottom of the points table; however, winning four matches has them in contention for the number 4 spot. Three of those four wins have been against the top 3 teams of the points table, namely Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals, and Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Speaking of the top three teams, MI, DC, and RCB needed one win to solidify their playoffs. However, all three teams ended up losing their last game against RR, KKR, and CSK. That goes to show the fierce competition in the tournament.
