The IPL came into the picture in 2008 which saw Shane Warne-led Rajasthan Royals (RR) clinch the title, beating the MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Since then, RR have not won the title, coming close in 2022 edition where they lost the final. CSK, on the other hand, won the championship in 2010, 2011, 2018 and 2021. They have lost five finals so far, in 2008, 2012, 2013, 2015 and 2019. 

Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians (MI) are the most successful franchise, winning five trophies (in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020). Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have clinched the title in 2012 and 2014 while they lost the 2021 summit clash to CSK. Sunrisers Hyderabad, Deccan Chargers -- both Hyderabad-based teams -- and GT have won the IPL once. 

Will GT defend their title in IPL 2023? Will we see a new champion this time around? Only time will tell...
