“You pick a team and say for certain that they will win the IPL, because T20 is a format where a match situation changes within the span of an over. But, I would certainly say that teams that have played the finals before have an advantage over the others. Playing in the league stage is completely different from playing in the knockouts and final,” Gavaskar told India Today.
