New IPL champion to be crowned?

There is a real chance of that with two of the four sides in the play-offs yet to win the competition in Punjab and RCB.

Punjab are into the post-season for the first time since finishing as runners-up in 2014, while play-off regulars RCB, who have Virat Kohli in their squad, came second in 2009, 2011 and 2016.

Mumbai have won five IPL titles, the joint-most with Chennai Super Kings, while Gujarat triumphed in their maiden season in 2022 before coming second a year later.
