Toss cannot be predicted accurately by experts, analysts, or anyone for that matter. There is always a 50-50 chance of either captain winning a toss. However, we know how much a match can be affected by a toss but it is still impossible to be 100% right about it. So in the following table, you will find the list of all the captains along with their respective toss-winning percentages from the previous edition of the IPL.
The toss is one of the oldest cricket rituals that has been in play since the inaugural Test match way back in 1877. In some conditions and formats, the toss plays a massive role in deciding the fate of the match, and thus, it is deemed important despite nobody having control over it. Sometimes, when the conditions are constantly changing or when they are not really sure about the nature of the 22-yard strip, the captains feel that losing the toss is better.
With the IPL match predictions in this age, the toss also attracts attention. While a lot of people are involved in the toss today prediction, with the help of the predictions, the people get good results. Such toss predictions are looked at a lot during the IPL, as they play a vital role in determining the course of the match, just like the IPL pitch report for each match.
With IPL 18 set to commence on March 22, here's a look at the toss-win percentage for each team in the past few editions of the Indian Premier League.

Today’s IPL match stadium
Q1. In which stadium today's IPL match is happening?
A. The historic Eden Gardens in Kolkata will host today's IPL match between reigning IPL champions Kolkata Knight Riders and the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. This will be the opening game of the 18th edition of the Indian Premier League. The pitch at the Eden Gardens has been extremely batter-friendly in the past few years. However, regular showers in the lead-up and potential rain during the match are set to change the dynamics a bit, with the fast bowlers likely to get some moisture to work with initially.
That said, both teams would love to bowl first if it's a rain-shortened game, making today's IPL match toss extremely crucial. Both teams would love to insert the opposition batters in and try and assess how the pitch plays early on. In today's day and age, the IPL match stadium name is very important for the fantasy players who participate in leagues offered by websites and mobile applications like IPL Fantasy or Dream11. It tells the fantasy players about what to expect from the match, what kind of scores are made on that venue if the spinners fare better than pacers on a particular ground, and much more.
