Ever since 2008, the IPL has been the pinnacle of T20 domestic cricket.
With its 16th season coming to a close on Monday, the Mumbai Indians were joined by Chennai Super Kings as the joint most successful team in history.
MS Dhoni's CSK took the chance to match their record when they beat the Gujarat Titans in the final of the 2023 edition.
The late Shane Warne led the Rajasthan Royals to the first-ever IPL championship way back in 2008, but the road hasn't always been as smooth for the Royals. RR were banned for the 2015/16 season for a betting scandal, along with the Chennai Super Kings.
The 2022 season was the first since 2011 to feature 10 sides, with the Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants being included into the competition.
Here we take a look at who has won the IPL title down the years, with the 2023 title now decided.
