Some of the Commentators while commenting on IPL had labeled the second game of 03^rd May 2015 – between Rajasthan and Delhi at Mum-BS as 500^th IPL Game. It’s a wrong computation.  They have counted the fixtures of IPL and not the actual games. There were six abandoned games which should not be taken into account as these games were abandoned without a ball being bowled. Hence the game under question was 494^th game of IPL. Furnishing below the table in which I have arrived second game of 03.05.15 as 494^th IPL game

The detailed Result Summary of games as of 03.05.15 read thus

Chennai Super Kings	124	75	47	0	0	1	1
Deccan Chargers	75	29	46	0	0	0	0

Sunrisers Hyderabad	39	19	19	0	1	0	0
Total	988	485	485	0	6	6	6

If second game of 03.05.15 was the 500^th game, then the total number of matches played should have been 1000 {500 x 2}.

Six abandoned games are not taken into account in the captioned table. These six games would be 12 games in the table as they get distributed to two teams and hence 1000 – 12 = 988.  Half of 988 is 494 which is the actual number of matches played in IPL as of 03.05.15
