The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2017 is nearing its conclusion. The Playoff is upon us and four teams - Mumbai Indians (MI), Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS), Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have made it to the final four. 

Now these four teams are going to battle it out for the coveted IPL trophy. MI and RPS will play the Qualifier 1 and SRH will lock horns with KKR in the Eliminator. Things have become much more serious than it was during the league stage. 

The teams are going to mean business now and all of them will try and showcase their best game. However, many of these sides will be depleted because a number of overseas players have gone back for their respective national duties. But that will not stop them from giving their best in each and every game them play from Tuesday.
