Cricket fans would have their eyes set on the calendar with the 2023 edition of the IPL just around the corner. The gala tournament will get underway in the last week of March and several nail-biting battles are on the cards. IPL 2023 is expected to be a grand affair as 10 teams have been fighting for the title since the last season.
Speaking of the history of IPL, the inaugural season took place in 2008, months after India’s 2007 T20 World Cup triumph. Rajasthan Royals became the first IPL champions, beating Chennai Super Kings in the summit clash. Now-defunct Deccan Chargers lifted the silverware in 2009.
IPL became more popular with each passing season as T20 stalwarts from different regions desired to feature in the competition. The same prompted the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to expand the competition.
Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians are the most successful team in IPL, having won the title a record five times. Chennai Super Kings hold the second place with four trophies in their pocket. Two-time winners Kolkata Knight Riders are the only other team with more than one IPL title. Delhi Capitals, Punjab Kings, and Royal Challengers Bangalore are the only teams to have not lifted the title despite featuring in all 15 previous seasons. Gujarat Titans happen to be the defending champions.
