Competition stretching till last gameipl-match-in-bengaluru_6f911304-23f0-11e6-86a8-6aa3f93e5d3e
The fact that the playoffs were decided in the last match was just what the IPL required to bolster its image as a premier competition. So close was the competition that at one time six teams were fighting for the last four and even Mumbai Indians could have made it despite losing their last match. And it was a topsy-turvy ride also. Gujarat Lions finished top but not without enough hiccups. Sunrisers Hyderabad should have sealed the second position but RCB came out nowhere to take it.
