The inaugural season of the IPL was held in 2008, and the tournament has been held annually in India ever since.[1] Currently, ten teams compete for the championship.[2] Since the league's inception, seven teams have won the title, with the Mumbai Indians (MI) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) both securing five titles each.
Indian batsman Virat Kohli holds the records for the most runs scored (8,004) and the most centuries made (8) in the league. 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 30 balls). Indian bowler Yuzvendra Chahal holds the record for the most wickets taken (205).[3] [4] 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 Bangaluru (RCB) in 2024, breaking their own record of 277/3 against the Mumbai Indians earlier in the same season.[5] 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 Bangaluru scored the lowest total, making just 49 runs against the Kolkata Knight Riders in 2017.
In general, the top five are listed in each category, except when there is a tie for the last place among the five, in which case all the tied record holders are noted.
