- The Indian Premier League is a Twenty20 (T20) competition in men's cricket. Organised by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the tournament has taken place every year since it was first held in 2008. Several teams went in and out of the tournament at different years, while the names of some teams were changed. The tournament format has always been a round-robin format, where each team plays with each other team twice, each match in either of the team's homeground. Indian batsman Virat Kohli holds the record for the most runs made in the IPL, since its beginning in 2008. Chris Gayle, however, holds many of the individual scoring records including, highest-individual score in a match (175 runs off 66 balls), most centuries (6), the most 6s scored (326) most 6s in a match (17), fastest century (from 30 balls).AB de Villiers holds the record for Player of the match award (24). Dwayne Bravo holds the record for the most wickets taken (172). MS Dhoni, Dinesh Karthik and Robin Uthappa dominate the Wicket-keeping records, all 3 being among the top 5 players of most stumps and most catches. The most overall catches by any fielder is 102 catches by the batsman Suresh Raina. RCB has scored the highest runs in a match with an astounding score of 263–5 against PWI in 2013, the same match in which Gayle hit his record score for a match in IPL, and also the record for the highest number of 6's in an innings. This is also the second highest innings total by any team in a T20 match. The second record is also set by RCB against GL, having scored 248–5. CSK set the record 246–5 against RR. Royals chased a target of 224 in 2020, which is the highest successful run chase in the league history. Only 5 teams have won a title since the beginning of the league. MI, has won the highest number of tournaments i.e. 5 with CSK, who holds the current champion title, winning 4 titles and KKR winning 2. (en)
