Home Ground of IPL Teams: Which IPL franchise has maximum home venues?

Indian Premier League is being played in a home-away format after four long years. This format was not possible in the last few years because of the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 10 teams are playing in IPL 2023, but the tournament will be played across 12 venues.

Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings have two home grounds this time around. In addition to Jaipur and Mohali, these two franchises will also be playing a couple of matches in Guwahati and Dharamsala respectively.

This is not the first time that the teams are playing at multiple home venues. Throughout the course of the IPL, we have seen teams using more than one base camp around the country due to various reasons. In spite of some last-moment changes in the past, this surely helps in taking the tournament to the cities that do not have an IPL team of their own.

In 2009, the tournament was played in South Africa. In the last three seasons (2020, 2021 and 2022), there were no particular home stadiums for any of the franchises due to the pandemic. Let’s have a look at the list of home grounds of all teams in the history of IPL.
