The Indian Premier League (IPL) has been a spectacle of cricketing excellence since its inception in 2008. Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings have emerged as the titans of the tournament, both clinching the coveted title five times each. Rohit Sharma's astute leadership propelled Mumbai Indians to glory, while MS Dhoni masterfully steered Chennai Super Kings to their five triumphs.
Kolkata Knight Riders, led by Gautam Gambhir, hold the third position on the success ladder with two championships in 2012 and 2014. Hyderabad also boasts two titles, the first in 2009 as Deccan Chargers under Adam Gilchrist's captaincy and the second in 2016 as 'Sunrisers Hyderabad' led by David Warner. Shane Warne etched his name in history as the inaugural IPL-winning captain in 2008 with Rajasthan Royals. In 2022, the newly formed Gujarat Titans, under the leadership of Hardik Pandya, made a stunning debut by clinching the trophy.
Here's a list of all the IPL winners over the years:
Although there is no official confirmation, it is expected that the IPL 2024 is set to kick off from March 23 to May 29, organized annually by the BCCI. With the addition of two new teams, a total of 10 teams will compete in the 17th season. The complete IPL 2024 Schedule is yet to be revealed, and TATA is slated to sponsor the event. The auction for players, where IPL franchises will buy or release players for these teams, is anticipated in December 2023. The tournament will feature 74 matches, following the format of the previous year.
