IPL 2024 Points Table

Travis Head (89*) and Abhishek Sharma (75*) completed the chase of 166 runs in just 9.4 overs, securing a convincing 10-wicket victory. Their stellar performance also significantly improved their net run rate.

Ayush Badoni showcased a spirited half-century, supported by Nicholas Pooran (48*), propelling LSG to a total of 165/4.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar made early breakthroughs for Lucknow Super Giants by dismissing Quinton de Kock and Marcus Stoinis cheaply. Skipper KL Rahul contributed 29 runs before being caught out by Pat Cummins, who then went on to dismiss a well-set Krunal Pandya.

It must be noted Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings are the joint-most successful teams in IPL history, with both sides clinching the title five times each.

Aside from these two, KKR has triumphed twice, while Gujarat Titans, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Rajasthan Royals, and Deccan Chargers have each lifted the trophy once.

Despite boasting legendary figures in the shorter format such as Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, AB de Villiers, Jacques Kallis, and others, Royal Challengers Bangalore have yet to claim the title despite reaching the final thrice in 2009, 2011, and 2016.
