The playoffs are a different version of the knockout stages of a tournament. The traditional ‘Semi-Final and Final’ stage was replaced by the ‘Playoff’ stage in the Indian Premier League since its fourth edition in 2011.
This stage benefits the teams finishing first and second on the points table giving them another chance to qualify for the all-important IPL Final while it makes it a step tougher for the third and fourth-placed teams to get to the ultimate match. It is because the latter teams have to win two games to qualify for the Final but the former teams need only one victory.
Let’s go back in history and have a look at all the IPL Playoff matches till date:
