There are only two teams that have won the Indian Premier League five times in total. Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indias.

Some big bowling stars like Lasith Malinga, Trent Boult, Mitchell Johnson, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, and many others have played in the past. Jasprit Bumrah is leading this legacy ahead.
