IPL Final: Is winning the toss in the all-important IPL Final a good omen or a bad one? Well, experts would say, winning the toss is half the battle won. Not anymore.

On the other side, the pressure of the final does play a role in the minds of the cricketers. While chasing in an IPL final, the pressure only mounts after the fall of every wicket. Over the last 15 seasons, the IPL has been won by six different teams altogether. However, did you know how many teams have won the IPL Final after winning the toss?

There is very little to choose from when it comes to the difference in results after a team has won the toss and gone on to win the IPL Finals. Only nine out of the 16 finals have resulted in a skipper winning the toss in the final and then going on to lift the IPL trophy.
On the contrary, captains who won the toss in the IPL Final have gone on to lose the game. The trend has been prominent of late. The last three IPL finals have been won by captains who have gone on to lose the toss.
This is quite interesting, indeed! Win the Toss and win the IPL Final is certainly not the equation anymore.
