IPL full list of winners from 2008 to 2024 ahead of RCB vs PBKS final

Indian Express03-06-2025

IPL full list of winners from 2008 to 2024: The 18th season of the Indian Premier League is coming to a close with just two teams left to chase the ultimate glory as fourth-time IPL finalist Royal Challengers Bengaluru will face Punjab Kings in the IPL 2025 final for one last match of the season at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Tuesday. The Rajat Patidar-led RCB have had a phenomenal tournament, with the team finishing second in the standings after the league stage before they thrashed the same PBKS side in Qualifier 1 to reach the finals.
The Shreyas Iyer-led Punjab, too, has looked a different team under him and coach Ricky Ponting. The captain-coach duo took Punjab to their first final since 2014 and only their second overall.
Rajasthan Royals are the inaugural IPL champions of 2008. They beat Chennai Super Kings by three wickets to lift the first cup. In 2009, Deccan Chargers (now defunct) beat RCB in the final to win the title. Kolkata Knight Riders are the most recent champions of the IPL. They beat Sunrisers Hyderabad in the final of 2024.
Both Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings are two of the most successful sides in the history of IPL, having won five titles each. Chennai have also reached the IPL final (10) the most times.

Pant refined defence post-Australia tour: Childhood coach Devender Sharma

After an underwhelming tour to Australia marked by poor shot selection, Rishabh Pant has begun the series against England in an emphatic fashion, scoring a hundred at Leeds to showcase his extraordinary talent. Devender Sharma, one of Pant's childhood coaches alongside the late Tarak Sinha, attributed the resurgence to the work the wicketkeeper batter has put in on his defence and shot selection. "After he failed in Australia, he made a lot of changes to his defensive techniques and curbed his stroke play, which you also saw in the match. Pant is a match-winner," Sharma told PTI Videos in an exclusive interview. "Before he went to England, we discussed his defense because his Australia tour didn't go well. We decided he would play fewer strokes and focus more on batting there. England's conditions are different; there's more movement," he added. The effort Pant has put in behind the scenes were evident in the dazzling array of shots he played en route a magnificent 134 in the first Test in Leeds. During his knock, Pant also went past MS Dhoni for the most centuries by an Indian wicketkeeper in Test cricket, bringing up his seventh ton on the second day of the series opener against England. This isn't Pant's first hundred in England, for he had struck one during the team's last tour of that country. The coach attributed Pant's success in England's challenging conditions to his unique ability to "bat with ample time" and play from a "slightly deeper position." "He scored a hundred last time in England as well. He has a lot of time when he bats, which is a factor that makes him successful in England. Playing in the second line gives him a significant advantage," he asserted. Pant struck a six off the first ball of the 100th over of India's first innings, clearing the fence off Shoaib Bashir to bring up the milestone. He completed 3,000 Test runs during his innings and has 15 fifties in 44 matches and averages nearly 44. Sharma sees Pant as an all-format player. "I feel that Rishabh is a player who can play all three formats. He isn't in the team right now, but I believe he will come back after his IPL failure. If you're a good player, you'll perform." It was his first century since September 2024 when he scored 109 against Bangladesh at Chennai.

Pant Explains Celebration Wth 'Gymnastics' Connection: 'Very Used To It Since..'

Last Updated: Rishabh Pant scored his seventh Test century and celebrated with with a front handspring. Wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant, who scored his seventh Test century in the first Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test against England at Headingley, revealed he initially thought of three celebrations but ultimately chose a familiar one – the front handspring. On Saturday, Pant hit a remarkable 134, setting the record for most Test hundreds by an Indian wicketkeeper, surpassing MS Dhoni 's six centuries. This was also Pant's third Test hundred in England, an achievement no other visiting wicketkeeper has matched with more than one Test century in the country. 'I had three celebrations in mind – an OK sign on the eye (like footballer Dele Alli), another was 'let the bat do the talking'. Then I thought I would quietly do the one I know well. I've been doing it since childhood (handspring)," Rishabh Pant was quoted as saying on Sunday. 'I trained in gymnastics in school and have been very used to it since childhood. Even if you wake me up in the middle of the night, I can do it. After the accident, I had to work harder to perform it. I worked on it, and it's now easy for me," Pant shared in a conversation with Cheteshwar Pujara ahead of day three's play. He also described his thoughts as he approached his century, which he achieved with a one-handed six off Bashir over mid-wicket. 'When Shoaib Bashir was bowling in the previous over, I thought I should get to the hundred. I didn't want to play risky cricket and took a single as he was bowling well." 'In the next over, I told him, 'if you keep the field close-in, I will hit the big shot.' Luckily, I was on 99 and felt confident. The pressure was there, but I wanted to play the ball on its merit." Pant entered the Test series following a mixed IPL 2025 season for Lucknow Super Giants, although he concluded it with a century against Royal Challengers Bangalore. He discussed the adjustments he made for the Test series opener. 'In preparation for Tests after IPL, I wanted to cut down on a few shots and play in the V. If you noticed, I didn't play many shots to balls bowled wide. I focused on playing straight and took it from there. My thought process involves reading the bowler's intentions." 'Once I have an idea, I aim to put the bowler under pressure by hitting him out. Playing with the bowler's mindset and disrupting him is crucial, as letting the bowler hit the right areas puts him on top. Balancing this approach is becoming more refined, and I am enjoying it a lot." (With inputs from IANS) About the Author Ritayan Basu Location : Leeds First Published: June 22, 2025, 18:17 IST

Rishabh Pant "Had Three Celebrations In Mind" After Scoring Ton vs England

Wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant, who hit his seventh Test century in the first Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test against England at Headingley, said he initially considered three celebrations but ultimately chose a familiar one - the front handspring. On Saturday, Pant hit an astonishing 134 and now holds the record for most Test hundreds as a wicketkeeper for India, going past the legendary MS Dhoni's tally of six centuries. It was also Pant's third Test hundred in England - which is a mammoth feat no other visiting wicketkeeper has more than one Test century in the country. "I had three celebrations in mind - of an OK sign on the eye (which footballer Dele Alli does), another was 'let bat do the talking'. Then I thought, I will quietly do the one I know well. I have been doing it from my childhood (handspring)." "I trained in gymnastics in school. I am very used to it since childhood. Even if you wake up me up in the middle of the night, I can do this. After the accident, I had to work harder for doing this. I worked on it and it's now easy for me to do it," said Pant in a chat with veteran India batter Cheteshwar Pujara ahead of day three's play. He also revealed what was going through his mind when he was on the verge of getting the century, which he got with a one-handed six off Bashir over mid-wicket. "When (Shoaib) Bashir was bowling in the previous over, I thought I should get to the hundred. I didn't want to play percentage cricket and take a risk. He was bowling well, so I respected it and took a single." "In the next over when he came, I told him before 'if you keep the field close-in, I will hit the big shot'. Luckily, I was batting on 99 and I was confident. The pressure was there, but I wanted to play on the merit of the ball." Pant had come on the back of an indifferent IPL 2025 for Lucknow Super Giants, though he did sign off with a century against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. He spoke about the changes he made to his game for excelling in the Test series opener. "In my mind, I wanted to cut down on a few shots (in preparation for Tests after IPL). I wanted to play in the V. If you have seen it, I haven't played a lot of shots to balls that were bowled wide. I wanted to play straight and rest of it would be seen after. In my mind, the thought process is always to try read the bowler's thinking - like what is he trying to do." "Once an idea is made, the thought from me is to put the bowler under pressure as I can hit him out. So playing with the bowler's mindset and trying to disturb him is important, as if you allow the bowler to hit the right areas, so he's always on the top. So playing with that, and then coming back to your zone - this balancing act is just getting more refined - and I am enjoying this a lot." Quizzed over his solid defensive game, Pant said, "Mostly it's about the area - if the ball is in a good area, I try not to do too much. Like if a bowler is in a good spell or is working on a set-up, its fine. But when the bowler is not in rhythm, then I try to capitalise on it towards my side. When a bowler is bowling well, I try to defend well against him or leave, as that's the mindset."
