The Shreyas Iyer-led Kolkata Knight Riders won their first Indian Premier League title in a decade, and third overall, on Sunday (May 26, 2024). After restricting Sunrisers Hyderabad to a meagre total of 113, KKR chased the target down in just 10.3 overs in a one-sided final at Chepauk Stadium. (As It Happened | Full Coverage)
The 2012 and 2014 champions dominated the Sunrisers from the very first over, with IPL's most expensive buy Mitchell Starc coming up with a dream opening spell, including a ball of the tournament contender that bamboozled Abhishek Sharma.
While this was KKR's third IPL title, there are two franchises ahead of Kolkata when it comes to the most number of trophies. Both Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings have earned the crown five times. While MI has won all its titles thus far under the leadership of India captain Rohit Sharma, Chennai did so under former skipper MS Dhoni.
With that, let us take a look at the full list of IPL winners, the winning captains and runner-ups in the league's 17-season history.
