Know all details about the viral banner ahead of the IPL 2024 final, which prompted the fans to label the tournament as a scripted one and know if the leaked script is real or not
In recent weeks, numerous reports have emerged suggesting that IPL 2024 was scripted. These allegations gained momentum after RCB won their final six games to clinch a playoff spot, while other contenders, such as the Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals, suffered unexpected losses. Adding fuel to the speculation, banners predicting a final match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders went viral even before Qualifier 2 concluded.
Before the 2023 IPL final, images emerged suggesting a Chennai Super Kings defeat. Contrary to these predictions, CSK emerged victorious against GT, clinching the title. It was later revealed that these images were from rehearsals, where videos simulating various possible match outcomes were created.

Why fans are claiming the IPL 2024 final is scripted?
Notably, this controversy started when the Chennai Super Kings decisively defeated the Rajasthan Royals in a one-sided match at the M. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Surprisingly, the commentators had started billing the RCB vs. CSK match as a virtual knockout even before this game, and intriguingly, all subsequent results unfolded according to this narrative.
Before Qualifier 2, images predicting a final between SRH and KKR went viral on social media. Despite SRH’s lackluster start in the second qualifier, they delivered an outstanding bowling performance to triumph over RR. As SRH prepares to face KKR in the final on Sunday, fans are now convinced that the entire tournament was orchestrated, especially since promotional hoardings suggesting this matchup were spotted before the final teams were determined.
On Friday, images of the banners from Chennai’s Chidambaram Stadium featuring KKR captain Shreyas Iyer and SRH captain Pat Cummins went viral claiming that the final between KKR and SRH in 2024 was already predecided. While some fans speculated that this indicated the IPL was scripted, others explained that such banners are prepared in advance for all potential final matchups. Currently, there is no solid proof to suggest that the IPL is scripted, and experts claim that such rumors are nothing new and should be ignored.
