The most lucrative cricket league in the world, Indian Premier League, is getting better and better. The 17th edition is in full swing and half of the tournament is over. Rajasthan Royals are the current leaders having won 8 matches while Royal Challengers Bengaluru are still struggling down at the bottom of the standings with 3 wins. The impact sub-rule which was introduced last year is getting plenty of attention this season and the teams have made complete use of it as a result we are witnessing the excess of 250 plus scores consistently.
Understanding that IPL has a rich fan base and to garner their attention, the surfaces are usually flat and the runs will automatically flow. Having struggled all these years, bowlers got some sort of advantage with two bouncers per over but that didn’t click to the fullest. Plenty of things have changed over the last 16 years but the craze of the fans remains the same.
Here in this article, we will discuss how the teams have performed over the last 16 years in our IPL betting online platform. Do follow our website for more content related to IPL Prediction 2024.
IPL History
India lifted the inaugural edition of the T20 World Cup back in 2007 under the leadership of MS Dhoni and the celebrations went wild throughout the country. This prompted the BCCI to counter the rebel Indian Cricket League and they started a franchise-based T20 League named Indian Premier League in 2008. Initially, it was an eight-team tournament featuring Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Kolkata Knight Riders, Punjab Kings, Delhi Daredevils, Rajasthan Royals, Mumbai Indians, Chennai Super Kings, and Deccan Chargers.
Following the success in the first two years, allowed BCCI to expand the league to 10 teams in the 2011 edition with Kochi Tuskers and Pune Warriors coming as the new entrants. Kochi Tuskers sustained only one season and was terminated by the BCCI while Pune Warriors dropped themselves out of the League in 2013.
Gujarat Lions and Raising Pune Super Giants replaced Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals in the 2016 and 2017 editions who were suspended due to spot-fixing scandals.
When the League was played under closed doors in 2020 in UAE due to covid pandemic, there was a considerable spike in the viewership which led BCCI to expand the league to 10 teams once again. Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants won the bids and made their league debuts in 2022.
Teams Journey Thus Far in IPL
Royal Challengers Bengaluru:
The franchise based out of Bengaluru has the most passionate and loyal fans, though their team hasn’t won the title since the tournament’s inception in 2008. M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is their home venue. As a team, they suffered more failures than successes throughout their entire IPL campaign. They fell short of winning the title by the barest of margins thrice when they reached the finals in 2009, 2011, and 2016. Challengers held the highest IPL Team score of 263 until 2024 which was broken by Sunrisers Hyderabad the same year.
Indian cricketing legend Rahul Dravid was their first captain who led the side in 2008 but the side failed under him completely and they ended up finishing 7th in the table with only 4 wins. Kevin Pietersen, Anil Kumble, Daniel Vettori, Virat Kohli, Shane Watson, and Faf du Plessis are the other players to lead the franchise. Their best season came in the year 2016 but they lost in the finals against Sunrisers Hyderabad by mere 8 runs. Skipper Virat Kohli enjoyed a dream run, smashing 973 runs in 16 matches that included 4 centuries and 7 half-centuries.

Kolkata Knight Riders
Co-owned by Bollywood stars Shahrukh Khan and Juhi Chawla, Kolkata Knight Riders rank themselves as the 3rd best team in the IPL having won the title in 2012 and 2014. They didn’t enjoy a great run in the first three years as they ended up in the league stages. Sourav Ganguly was their icon player who led the side in 2008 and 2010. Brendon McCullum, Gautam Gambhir, Jacques Kallis, Dinesh Karthik, Eoin Morgan, Shreyas Iyer, and Nitish Rana are the other players to lead the side.
Things started to change when they brought Gautam Gambhir in the 2011 auction and the batter from Delhi provided a good result taking the side to the Playoffs in his very first season for the franchise followed by a successful campaign in 2012 where they clinched the title for the first time beating Chennai Super Kings in the finals at Chepauk. They lifted their 2nd title in 2014 when they outsmarted Punjab Kings in the summit clash at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru.
They came close to their 3rd IPL title in 2021 but they lost to Chennai Super Kings in the finals by 27 runs. In the ongoing 2024 edition, they are doing well, winning 6 of their 9 matches to place themselves 2nd in the standings with 12 points.
Knight Riders ranked 3rd among the IPL Teams following their performances over the years.

Chennai Super Kings
Yellow Brigade is one of the consistent performers and undoubtedly the best team in IPL history. They won the title 5 times and ended up as runners on 5 occasions. 2020 and 2022 are the only two years where they finished in the league stages. MS Dhoni is the only player to be with the franchise since 2008, he led the side in 235 matches and has a 60.42 winning record. Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja, and Ruturaj Gaikwad are the other players to lead the franchise.
MS Dhoni passed his captaincy baton to Ruturaj Gaikwad in the ongoing 2024 edition where they currently placed 3rd in the standings with 10 points.

Mumbai Indians
The Mumbai Indians franchise is owned by India’s most successful businessman Mukesh Ambani. They have won the joint most titles in IPL with 5 to their name. Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai is their home venue. Mumbai Indians’ journey didn’t begin well in the first two seasons as they settled for league stages and their success started in 2010 when they ended up as runners-up losing to Chennai Super Kings. They crowned champions for the first time in 2013 under Rohit Sharma and later went on to win the titles in 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020. For all these records, we can easily say Mumbai Indians are one of the best teams in the IPL.
Having not got the desired results in the 2021, 2022, and 2023 seasons, the management took a tough call to change their skipper in 2024, Hardik Pandya who was traded to the franchise from Gujarat Titans appointed as their new captain.

Sunrisers Hyderabad
Sunrisers Hyderabad is owned by Kalanithi Maran and the team took part in the IPL for the first time in 2013. Sunrisers Hyderabad came on board when Deccan Chargers were terminated from the league in 2012. In their debut season, they made a giant stride to qualify for the playoffs. The team got their breakthrough when they emerged champions in 2016 beating Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the finals. They enjoyed a great run between 2017-2020, managing to qualify for the playoffs. In 2021, their downfall started and didn’t go well in the next two seasons as they settled for League stages.
The franchise is currently doing well in the 2024 edition, under newly appointed skipper Pat Cummins and Head Coach Daniel Vettori. Kumar Sangakkara, Cameron White, Shikhar Dhawan, Darren Sammy, David Warner, Kane Williamson, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Manish Pandey, and Aiden Markram are the captains to lead the team in the previous years. Sunrisers Hyderabad holds the highest team total in the IPL, registering 287 runs against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

Rajasthan Royals

They were suspended for match-fixing allegations in the 2016 and 2017 editions. Shane Warne, Rahul Dravid, Shane Watson, Steven Smith, and Ajinkya Rahane have led the side in different years. Sanju Samson is the current skipper and under him the side is doing exceptionally well, winning 8 of their 9 matches to occupy the top position in the standings.

Delhi Capitals
Delhi Daredevils rebranded as Delhi Capitals when JSW Sports bought the 50 per cent stake in 2018. The franchise plays its home games in Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi. The Capitals haven’t had great success in the league’s history. Their best result to date is qualifying for the finals in 2020 where they lost to Mumbai Indians. They lost in the Semi-Finals in the first two seasons and entered the Playoffs in 2012, 2019, and 2021. Between 2013-2018 they were consistently poor and settled for the league stages.
Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Dinesh Karthik, James Hopes, Mahela Jayawardene, Ross Taylor, David Warner, Kevin Pietersen, JP Duminy, Zaheer Khan, Karun Nair, Shreyas Iyer have led the side. Rishabh Pant and Ricky Ponting are their current skipper and Head Coach respectively.

Punjab Kings
Co-owned by Preity Zinta, Mohit Burman, Ness Wadia and Karan Paul, Punjab Kings is the under-performed team in the IPL so far, managing to qualify for the semi-finals once in the inaugural edition and made a solitary appearance in the finals back in 2014. In the remaining editions, they ended up in the league stages. Kings have used as many as 15 skippers to date which is the most by any team in the IPL. They shifted their new home to Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur this year from I.S Bindra Punjab Cricket Association Stadium.
In the ongoing season, they are currently placed 8th in the standings with 6 points.

Gujarat Titans
Owned by CVC Capital Partners, the Gujarat Titans franchise made their first IPL appearance in the 2022 edition and made history in the inaugural edition to be crowned as champions beating Rajasthan Royals in the finals at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium. Hardik Pandya’s captaincy gained a lot of appreciation as he led the side to the title in his first stint as the skipper. Titans backed up their performance in the following edition but missed out on winning back-to-back titles with a last-ball defeat to Chennai Super Kings in the 2023 finals.
They missed the services of Hardik Pandya for the 2024 edition after a record-breaking trade with Mumbai Indians. They are struggling in the current season with 4 wins under their belt from 10 matches.

Which Team has won the most titles in the IPL?
Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings have won 5 titles each, the most in the tournament history. We can say Chennai Super Kings as the baap of the IPL Team for their consistent performances over the years. Mumbai Indians who were crowned champions in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020 still need to perform well to be considered as the baap of the IPL Team. Considering their performances over the years, we can conclude that CSK and MI are the best teams in the IPL.
Which IPL Team has the most fans in the IPL?
Chennai Super Kings tops the list in fan following across social media platforms with 39.4m followers followed by Mumbai Indians (35.4m) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (30.6m).
