A fitting conclusion to a blockbuster season!

In a 10-team IPL, an auction spoiled the team structure for many sides but two sides who have used their resources better than others in RR and GT are going to play the final. Good luck to both the teams. May the best team on the day win. #HallaBol #AavaDe
