The 17th season of IPL is being played in great style. Almost half of the matches of the season have been played, and now the battle between the teams to ensure a place in the playoffs has become more exciting. Biggest records are being made and broken in IPL 2024. But on the other hand, controversy is also arising regarding toss fixing this season.
In the match played between MI vs RCB at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya had tossed the coin backwards. Match referee Javagal Srinath also took some time to announce the result of the toss. In the video going viral on social media, it appeared that while picking up the coin, he had turned both its sides.
Javagal Srinath had ruled the toss in favor of Hardik Pandya. Mumbai chose bowling, and the team defeated Bengaluru by 7 wickets. Cricket commentator Aakash Chopra has expressed his opinion regarding the controversy of toss fixing.

RR vs KKR match was the best – Aakash Chopra
The cricket commentator also gave his opinion about which is the best match of IPL 2024 so far. Aakash Chopra further said in the video, ‘I think it was Rajasthan-KKR match. It was a match between No. 1 and No. 2. We have not seen a better match than this this season. There were a lot of runs scored, but there were runs scored, wickets fell and more importantly, the run chase was incredible. This was the best T20 match of this season of IPL.
