Past IPL Winners

Here are the last ten winners of the IPL. The Mumbai Indians are the joint-most successful team in the league, having won the title five times.

The Chennai Super Kings have also won the title five times, whilst the Kolkata Knight Riders are the other team to win it multiple times, with three wins.

The 2023 final was the first final in IPL history to use the DLS (Duckworth-Lewis-Stern) method to define a winner due to the weather conditions.

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) win in 2025 was their first taste of success, which now means 7 of the 10 teams have won the title.

Those who haven't are the Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals, who have both been beaten finalists and the Lucknow Super Giants, who have never made it past the eliminator.

Last Ten IPL Champions

IPL All-Time Records

Most IPL Runs

Which player has scored the most runs in the IPL? That would be Virat Kohli became the first player to pass 8k runs in 2024, he has notched up a total of 8,661 runs in the IPL from 259 innings, which works out as an average of 38.66.

During the 2025 season, Rohit Sharma moved up to second in the list and became only the second player to surpass 7,000 runs in the IPL.

1. Virat Kohli (8,661 Runs)
2. Rohit Sharma (7,046 Runs)
3. Shikhar Dhawan (6,769 Runs)
4. David Warner (6,565 Runs)
5. Suresh Raina (5,528 Runs)

Most IPL Sixes

It is no surprise to see Chris Gayle top the list with a total of 357 sixes, he also holds the record for sixes in an inning when hitting seventeen against Pune Warriors India during the 2013 season.

With Gayle retiring and not playing in the IPL since 2021, Rohit Sharma has been hunting down Gayle's top spot, he moved past the 300 mark during the 2025 season.

1. Chris Gayle (357 Sixes)
2. Rohit Sharma (302 Sixes)
3. Virat Kohli (291 Sixes)
4. MS Dhoni (252 Sixes)
5. AB de Villiers (251 Sixes)

Most IPL Wickets

Dwayne Bravo was knocked off the top spot during the 2023 season when Yuzvendra Chahal took over as the all-time leader, who now has a total of 221 wickets from 174 matches with an average of 22.76.

Bravo will soon be out of the top five, he is now down to fifth with Kumar (2nd) and Narine (3rd) both moving up two places during the 2025 season.

1. Yuzvendra Chahal (221 Wickets)
2. Bhuvneshwar Kumar (198 Wickets)
3. Sunil Narine (192 Wickets)
4. Piyush Chawla (192 Wickets)
5. Dwayne Bravo (183 Wickets)

IPL Awards - Orange Cap

Orange Cap

The 'Orange Cap' is awarded to the player who has scored the most runs in the Indian Premier League for that season but there is also a 'Tour de France' feeling to the award with the current leading scorer where's the Orange Cap whilst fielding throughout the season, a bit like the 'Yellow Jersey' in cycling. Seven of the awards have gone to an Australian batsman, however, an Aussie has not won it since 2019.

Shaun Marsh (2008) won the first-ever Orange Cap with a total of 616 runs from 11 matches, Chris Gayle became the first player to win the award twice, he first won it in 2011 with 608 runs and then also won it a year later in 2012 with 733 runs, no other player has ever won it back-to-back. David Warner, over the space of five seasons, won the award three times, making him the most successful in this award. He won it in 2015, 2017 & 2019, whilst Virat Kohli won it in both 2016 and 2024.

The 635 runs achieved by Ruturaj Gaikwad in 2021 was the lowest winning total since the 608 hit by Chris Gayle in 2011. Shubman Gill's 890 runs in 2023 were the second-most runs scored in the league, only beaten by Virat Kohli's 973 runs in 2016.

IPL Awards - Purple Cap

Purple Cap

Much like the 'Orange Cap' the Purple Cap is worn throughout the season by the current leading wicket tacker, that is the player who has taken the most wickets and in case there is more than one player with the same number of wickets, the cap goes to the player with the best economy rate. Interestingly, ten of the eighteen winners (including all of the last five) were home-bred Indian players, maybe they have a better understanding of the pitch in India.

Dwayne Bravo became the first player to win the award twice after wins in 2013 (32 Wickets) and 2015 (26 Wickets), and Bhuvneshwar Kumar became the first back-to-back winner of the award, having won it in both 2016 & 2017. Harshal Patel's 32 wickets in 2021 are the joint highest taken, tied with the feat achieved by Dwayne Bravo in 2013. Harshal Patel also became a dual winner after winning the award in 2024.

IPL Awards - Most Valuable Player

Most Valuable Player (MVP)

Previously called the Man of the Tournament, the Most Valuable Player or MVP for short, is awarded to the player who tops the rating system, which looks at several factors based on batting, bowling and fielding, which produces the top-rated player at the end of the season.

Only three players have picked up this award twice: Shane Watson was the first winner of the award in 2008, and he won it again in 2013; Andre Russell won the award in 2015 and picked it up again in 2019. Sunil Narine is technically the third player with wins in 2018 & 2024, although he also won the award when it was the 'Man of the Tournament', so some will argue he is the most successful with three wins.

Jos Buttler in 2022 became the third Englishman to win the award after Ben Stokes won it in 2017 and Jofra Archer in 2020.

IPL Awards - Maximum Sixes Award

Maximum Sixes Award

There is also an award for the player who hits the most sixes during the tournament. Andre Russell's 52 in 2019 was the first to surpass 40 since 2013, and the highest between 2014 & 2018 was 38, which both Kohli and Gayle hit.

It is no surprise that with an award like this, Chris Gayle gets mentioned. In fact, between 2011 & 2015, he won this award for four of the five years and is one of only two players to win it more than once. Glenn Maxwell won it in both 2014 & 2017.

Jos Butler's 45 was the second-highest in the last nine tournaments, and he became the first Englishman to win this award.
