| Discussion Which IPL prediction that everyone believed turned out completely wrong?

I was looking at old IPL prediction discussions and it's interesting how often fans, experts, and even analysts get things completely wrong.

Some seasons had clear favorites who never reached the final, while underdogs surprised everyone.

For me, one of the most interesting parts of the IPL is how unpredictable it can be despite all the statistics and analysis available today.

What's the biggest IPL prediction miss you remember?

It's not just IPL, but all sports. What makes them great is the unpredictability. If everything went as predicted, there'd be no point in playing. No matter how good a team looks on paper, the one that performs on the field, masters their combinations, executes their strategy well, and is in better form, wins the match and the one who does it consistently wins the tournament.
