Background

The Indian Premier League is a franchise Twenty20 cricket league held in India, organized by the Board of Control for Cricket in India. It is held annually since the first edition in 2008. Chennai Super Kings were the defending champions, having won their fifth title in the previous season after beating Gujarat Titans in the final.[1] [2]

Format

The format returned to the same as 2022, unlike 2023, with the group order being re-shuffled. Each team played twice against the teams in their group and the team in the same row in the other group, and once against the remaining four teams in the other group.[3] [4] After the group stage, the top four teams based on aggregate points qualified for the playoffs. In this stage, the top two teams competed with each other (in a match titled "Qualifier 1"), as did the remaining two teams (in a match titled "Eliminator"). While the winner of Qualifier 1 directly qualified for the final match, the losing team had another chance to qualify for the final match by competing against the winning team of the Eliminator match (in a match titled "Qualifier 2"). The winner of this subsequent Qualifier 2 match advanced to the final match.[5]
