MI won the IPL for the first time in 2013. They subsequently went on to register wins in 2015, 2017 and 2019. They defended their crown by clinching the 2020 edition.
All of Mumbai Indians' five triumphs have come under Rohit Sharma's captaincy. They finished 10th in the 2022 season and made the playoffs last year, but could not go all the way. Mumbai Indians were also runners-up in 2010. Apart from winning the IPL, they also won the Champions League Twenty20 twice, in 2011 and 2013.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) - 5 titles
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) joined Mumbai Indians with five IPL title wins when they won the crown in 2023.

Their three subsequent triumphs came in 2018, 2021, and 2023.
Chennai's victory in 2018 was amazing as they were returning to the IPL after a two-year suspension. Their win in 2021 was also an incredible one as they finished seventh out of eight teams in the previous year. Similarly, they won in 2023 after finishing ninth out of 10 teams in 2022.
CSK have featured in the IPL final a record 10 times and have also clinched the Champions League Twenty20 twice, in 2010 and 2014.

Kolkata Knight Riders are the third most successful franchise in the history of the IPL. They have lifted the trophy three times. KKR won the IPL for the first time in 2012 and repeated the feat in 2014. After a decade-long wait, they clinched their third IPL crown in 2024. KKR also finished runners-up in 2021.
Gautam Gambhir was the captain when Kolkata Knight Riders won the IPL for the first two times in 2012 and 2014. The former India opener served as the mentor of the side that won the title this season. KKR made it to the playoffs in three consecutive seasons from 2016 to 2018 but fell short of clinching the title.
