Ranking all IPL seasons from 2008 to 2024

The 18th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is currently treating fans to some exhilarating action day in and day out. The viewership numbers have gone through the roof, and the stadiums in different parts of the country have been packed to the rafters.

While there have been plenty of batting performances of note, some bowlers have also shown that they are still integral characters in the shortest format. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) lost four games in a row before chasing down a 246-run target against Punjab Kings (PBKS) on April 12. After a defeat like this, it is difficult to lift the spirits of a team. However, Punjab defended a target of 112 in their very next game against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).

This unpredictability and competitiveness of the league contribute to its craze around the world, and cricket enthusiasts wait every year for this two-month extravaganza. In this article, CricTracker rates every season played so far in IPL from 2008 to 2024.

17. IPL 2011

IPL 2011 was quite a memorable cricket season for various reasons. One of the biggest of them was India winning the ODI World Cup only a few days before the commencement of the league. However, it was a dull season for the IPL as fans were still celebrating India's win in the global event for the first time in 28 years. They were cheering for the likes of MS Dhoni, Sachin Tendulkar, and Virat Kohli, among others, when they were representing the Men in Blue. All of a sudden, these stars were competing against each other in the IPL, and this didn't resonate with the fans.
