If IPL was like that, Virat too would have won the cup… Delhi and Gujarat would have been champions three times…
IPL 2023 Playoff Pictures are complete. While Gujarat Titans remained the kings of the points table, Chennai Super Kings secured the playoffs as second and Lucknow Super Giants as third. After much suspense, Mumbai Indians became the fourth team to qualify for the playoffs.
The first qualifier will be held on May 23. The first and second place in the points table will fight for the first place in the final. The losers of this match will get one more chance to reach the finals.
The losers of the first qualifier will face the winners of the eliminator match on May 24. The second qualifier is on May 26. The winners of the first qualifier and the winners of the second qualifier will face each other in the final on May 28 and the winners will lift the trophy.
But what if the winners of the IPL are decided the same way as in football? That is, if the champions of the season were to be the first in the points table… if the champions were declared before there were still matches left… we can see what would have happened if the IPL had started like that.
Rajasthan Royals would have gone on to become the inaugural champions. Because not only in the finals of the first season but also in the points table, they had the upper hand.
The credit for lifting the trophy the most times in IPL history would have gone with Mumbai Indians, but the number of trophies would have been reduced. Mumbai Indians have topped the points table four times (2010, 2017, 2019, 2020). They would have been champions in all these four seasons.
The interesting thing is that despite being a part of the tournament since 2008, the three teams that have not been able to win the title in the history of IPL could have managed to cheat. Punjab Kings/Kings XI Punjab never (2014) Delhi Capitals/Delhi Daredevils three times (2009, 2012 2021) won the IPL title.
In that case, the achievement of winning the title for the second most times in the IPL was to surpass Dhoni’s team and take the Delhi and Gujarat franchise. Like Delhi, Gujarat has topped the points table three times. Gujarat Lions in 2016 and Gujarat Titans in 2022 and 2023 season would be the title winners of IPL.
In 2011, Royal Challengers could have become champions. RCB came first with 19 points from 14 matches.
Dhoni and his team will be able to reach the top of the IPL twice. Dhoni and his team won the title in 2013 and 2015.
