Over the years, Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians have emerged as the two most successful sides in the tournament, having won the coveted trophy five times each. The MS Dhoni-led CSK will enter the 2024 edition of the tournament as the defending champions. They defeated the Gujarat Titans in a dramatic IPL 2023 final to lift the cup for the fifth time.

Adam Gilchrist’s Deccan Chargers then lifted the title in the second edition in 2009, winning the game by six runs against the Royal Challengers Bangalore.
CSK clinched the 2010 and 2011 editions of the tournament, becoming the first-ever side to win two titles for consecutive years. CSK made it to the finals again in the 2012 edition, but Kolkata Knight Riders snatched the trophy away from them to win their maiden title. Mumbai Indians entered the scene in 2013 as they defeated CSK to lift the cup.
KKR had another stellar season in 2014 as they became the second team after CSK to win the trophy twice.
