Top Teams and Players in the IPL

Since the inception of the IPL all the greatest players from Sachin Tendulkar to Shane Warne have graced the stage. It is not surprising to note that the leading run scorers and leading wicket takers come from India as they are best suited to their home conditions.

The two most successful teams in the IPL have been the Chennai Super Kings(CSK) and the Mumbai Indians. They have won 10 titles between them with each side winning five titles. The team from Chennai have been the most popular in the competition as they have been led by one the greats of the game in MS Dhoni. He may be nearing the end of his career but is still loved and adored by millions of fans. On the other side of the spectrum, the best team to never win the IPL, has to be Royal Challengers Bangalore(RCB). Despite having cricketers of the stature of AB de Villiers, Chris Gayle and Virat Kohli, the franchise is yet to lift the title, having been in finals before but falling short.

Indian batsman Virat Kohli holds the records for the most runs scored (8 004) and the most centuries made (8) in the league. Another Indian batsman Rohit Sharma and wicket-keeper MS Dhoni are the most successful captains in the league, each winning five titles. Dhoni also holds the record for the most matches played. West Indies batsman Chris Gayle holds several individual batting records, including the highest individual score in a match (175*), the most sixes scored (357), the most sixes in a match (17) and the fastest century off just 30 balls. Indian bowler Yuzvendra Chahal holds the record for the most wickets taken (205). West Indies bowler Alzarri Joseph holds the record for the best bowling figures with 6/12.

The Mumbai Indians hold the record for playing and winning the most matches, while the Gujarat Titans (GT) have the highest win percentage (62.22%). Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) scored the most runs in a match with a score of 287/3 against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in 2024, breaking their own record of 277/3 against the Mumbai Indians earlier in the same season. The highest successful run chase in the league's history was achieved by the Punjab Kings (PBKS), as they chased down a target of 262 set by the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in 2024. The Royal Challengers Bangalore scored the lowest total, making just 49 runs against the Kolkata Knight Riders in 2017.

One of the biggest fixtures on the IPL calendar is when RCB face off against CSK as it is billed as the battle of the South. This match up has seen some great contests but CSK seem to win when it matters the most in the knockout matches. Mumbai have arguably the greatest ever T20 bowler in Jasprit Bumrah so it is always a challenge for opposition teams when they face him. The contest between him and the worlds best batsmen is worth the admission ticket alone.
