Mid-season discourse:
“Boring IPL, too predictable, PBKS/RCB/RR already peaking, rest are finished.”
Fast forward to ~60 matches:
2 teams officially eliminated
Every single playoff spot still mathematically alive
Net Run Rate doing jump scares every other game
Half the table one win away from top 4, one loss away from disaster
This league really went from “dead rubber season” to “every match is a knockout + NRR therapy session” 🤯
I swear IPL scriptwriters just wait for us to speak too early 💀
