The wait is over! The Indian Premier League 2026 is starting, where 10 teams will compete for over two months to win the top T20 trophy.
The first match will be played at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on March 28, with defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru taking on Sunrisers Hyderabad.
And as is the case every season, all eyes will be on three pillars of the league, MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma, and what they can do individually, and for their respective teams. But coming into the 19th season, it is only imperative, to look back at some of the records of the IPL.
