Looking Back and Now:
Back in 2008, Rajasthan Royals won the first IPL but haven’t won since. Last year, Gujarat Titans won, but it was Chennai Super Kings who took home their fifth title. They share the record with Mumbai Indians.
Early Favourites:
According to Dafabet, Rajasthan Royals are the top pick for IPL 2024. They’ve won four matches in a row and are sitting pretty at the top. Next up are the Kolkata Knight Riders, unbeaten so far. Even though Chennai Super Kings slipped a bit, MS Dhoni’s team is still among the favourites.
Contenders:
Sunrisers Hyderabad, led by Pat Cummins, are looking strong, as are Lucknow Super Giants with two wins out of three. Mumbai Indians, with their history of five IPL wins, are in the mix too.
Underdogs and Strugglers:
Delhi Capitals are at the bottom, losing four out of five matches. Royal Challengers Bangalore, led by Virat Kohli, are also struggling.
