Kolkata Knight Riders beat Rajasthan Royals by 25 runs on Wednesday in the IPL 2018 eliminator match to enter the qualifier 2. KKR will now face Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) for a place in the final against Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
However, many were left wondering whether KKR is destined to make it to the final after an advertisement surfaced on social media showing the Knight Riders facing the Super Kings in IPL 2018 final.
Hotstar, the live streaming website and app from Star, has reportedly telecast a video promo of the IPL 2018 final. The promo shows CSK taking on KKR in the final and players from these two teams feature in the video.
The video clip, that surfaced on social media, appears to be a clip from a larger video. It also seems Hotstar has now removed the advertisement.
It seems that several Twitter and FB users noticed and posted the clip, though DNA can not verify the video's authencity.
Here's the video:
