Indian Premier League was created by Lalit Modi in 2007, and since then, it has been organised by the BCCI (Board of Cricket Control in India) every year. The first edition of this Twenty20 cricket league was held in 2008, and the 18th edition is currently being held in 2025. Rajasthan Royals won the inaugural season, while Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings have won the IPL most times (5).
Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s Virat Kohli holds the record for scoring the most runs in IPL (8,063), while Rajasthan Royals’ Yuzvendra Chahal is the bowler with the most wickets (205). Shah Rukh Khan’s Kolkata Knight Riders won the IPL in 2024, and for this year’s competition, all the teams look strong and are full of depth. Over the years, we have seen almost every team spending like anything to build the strongest team.
