They were the first team to successfully defend their IPL crown, after winning consecutively in 2010 and 2011. The legendary MS Dhoni is Chennai’s star player and has been part of the squad since 2018.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"bvs-h3\" style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eMumbai Indians\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eMumbai Indians are the only other team to have won the IPL five times, but they haven’t won a title since 2020.

Rajat Patidar led RCB to their historic title, ending their 18-year wait. The title was hugely significant for Virat Kohli, who has been with the franchise since 2008. It was fitting that the IPL’s leading run scorer finally won the title, and it was a feat celebrated by cricket fans worldwide.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"bvs-h3\" style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eKolkata Knight Riders\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eThe Knight Riders have won three IPL titles, dominating the league in 2012, 2014, and 2024. They play their cricket at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata, a fortress with a tremendous atmosphere.
