    Many allege IPL final to be fixed after Hotstar's advertisement

    Twitterati were left scratching their heads after an advertisement was aired on Hotstar, showing Knight Riders locking horns with Chennai Super Kings in 2018 IPL final. For those who are unaware, KKR will face Sunrisers in the Qualifier 2 and the winner will play against CSK in the final. Understandably, the blunder caused many to allege that the spot in the finals is fixed.

    Here's the advertisement showing KKR vs CSK in the final

    TRP ratings are all that matter, says a Twitter user

    All the IPL matches are fixed..
    Fully Scripted tournament..
    Final will be CSK vs KKR..
    Because these two teams are having massive fan following.. SRK his frnds will come to watch that match..
    Television rating will be high..
    So BCCI will make sure that KKR goes to the final..

    This seems a plausible explanation

    Looks like @hotstartweets was overprepared and created the promos for all the possible combinations of the IPL finals.#CSKvsKKR got aired by mistake
