#5 Win the toss, win the game
The initial eight games of this edition's IPL has seen the side winning the toss winning seven encounters. All of the sides have opted to chase upon winning the toss.
The art of chasing has been redefined with the side batting second having the luxury of plotting the chase to attain the target set to them.
The reason behind this might stem from the fact that the sides want to know the nature of the wicket before batting on it. Except for the rain-marred game between the Delhi Daredevils and Rajasthan Royals, the sides batting second have successfully managed to chase down their target.
