Having won their first title way back in 2010, Super Kings have since registered title victories in 2011, 2018, 2021 and 2023. First team to win consecutive IPL titles, readers must note that all these season wins have come under Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
Indians, on the other hand, had first tasted success in 2013 only to follow it in each alternate year until 2019. In the following year, they had become only the second team to win back-to-back seasons of the IPL.

Having already announced his retirement, it was a memorable finish to a career spanning over a couple of decades for the 37-year old player.
