The second qualifier match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) between Kane Williamson-led SunRisers Hyderabad and Dinesh Karthik’s Kolkata Knight Riders will take place on Friday at the Eden Gardens stadium in Kolkata. And the winner of Friday’s match will take on Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings for the title of IPL trophy.
However, ahead of the second qualifier, an advertisement has gone viral on the internet in which Kolkata Knight Riders can be seen facing the Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2018 final.
After the promo went viral, Twitterati asked whether IPL 2018 final is fixed?

The video that went viral on various social networking sites was reportedly telecast by Hotstar, the live streaming website and app from Star.
The 10-second-long video clip that surfaced on social media, appears to be a clip from a larger video. However, the video clip is now not available on Hotstar and thestatesman.com cannot verify the authenticity of the video.
