The stats for playing the finals for all the teams

Will mumbai Indians repeat the history or we will witness its birth?

DC played well enough last year. The skipper, Shreyas Iyer, led his team into the playoffs where they defeated SRH in the eliminator and then lost to CSK in the semi-final. CSK then lost to MI in the final by 1 run.

History is repeating itself this year. It will be fascinating to see what result comes in the final. It will be interesting to watch a clash between debut finalists and four title winners. Will Shreyas Iyer lift the trophy for the first time or Rohit Sharma help his team winning the fifth IPL title?

Well, considering the stats, Mumbai Indians obviously stands as a favourite because you cannot compare a team with no final entry and the team who already won 4 titles.
