All you need to know about IPL 

Each year IPL brings a lot of fun, excitement and 2 month long rivalry. And when it comes to cricket, Indian fans never miss to note down every little detail about each and every game. From the top run scorers to the craziest controversies this article is all you need to update yourself about everything IPL.

Most Controversial Moments in IPL

• Lalit Modi getting sacked

Lalit Modi getting sacked has to be the biggest controversy in IPL's history. He was let go as IPLs chairman after fraud and mismanagement of money came to public eye.

In the first season of IPL spinner Harbhajan Singh slapped former bowler Sreesanth. This incident shook the whole cricketing community as it paints a bad picture for athletes across the globe.

• The 21st Hattrick

Chahal is the latest addition to the list of people who have achieved the rarest feat of getting a hattrick. Moreover, Amit Mishra and Yuvraj Singh previously recorded 3 & 2 respectively.

• Highest Runs Ever Scored In a Match

The highest ever recorded score in IPL came from RCB, 265 runs in 20 overs. RCB achieved this mountainous score with the help of Chris Gale who scored 175 runs.

• Most Sixes in IPL History

The record for the most sixes is held by Chris Gayle with 357 sixes. Additionally, he also holds the record for highest number of sixes in 2 consecutive seasons.

• Most Wickets in IPL History

Dwyane Bravo holds the record for the highest number of wickets taken in the history of IPL with a whopping 183 wickets. Lasith Malinga is trailing right behind him with 170 wickets.

• Number of Super Overs in IPL History

In the history of IPL there have been only 14 super overs. Super overs are especially exciting since the batsman tries to hit each ball for a boundary and bowlers try to avoid exactly that. Here is the list of super overs played to decide a winner in a match:

• What To Expect From The Next Season 

With the action packed season that we had this season, you can be sure that people have marked their calendar for the next one. So, here is what you can expect from the upcoming season:

• First things first, AB de Villiers is coming back to RCB. After RCB almost made it to the finals, it's fair to say with the addition of AB de Villiers RCB might actually win the next one.
• The next season will also follow the same format where the teams will be divided into two groups and each team will play at least 14 matches.

Gujarat Titans Just Made The Unexpected Happen

Gujarat Titans just ended the season in the most unexpected way possible. Hardik Pandya, who remained unbought by his previous team Mumbai Indians, led Gujarat Titans to victory. He definitely proved his worth to the world with the kind of performance he had. And not just him, Rahul Tiwatia emerged as a promising prospect for the Indian squad. Besides Tiwatia and Pandya, David Miller and Rashid Khan pushed the whole team to victory. Winning 10 out of 14 games, they proved themselves as a force not to be reckoned with. All their fans are sure to be expecting to see if they can maintain the same performance next year.

Not Enough To Lift The Trophy

After defeating the underdog RCB, Royals seemed confident that they would snatch the trophy from right under Gujarat Titans. And to a certain point it seemed possible because of Josh Butler with the most runs and Yuzvendra Chahal who  took the most number of wickets. However, they had already failed to beat Gujarat Titans twice before in the same season. What was different this time? But all this doubt faded away when Buttler easily scored another hundred against RCB in their last game. Even the fans were overjoyed with Royals finally making it to the finale after 14 years. But alas all this wasn't enough to beat GT.

To summarise, even though RR showed great performance against other teams, they failed to perform against GT three times. Which makes GT the stronger and better of the two and also a well deserved winner.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) conducts different cricket events and tournaments throughout the year. ICC tournaments are the biggest platforms in the game of cricket, where the top teams contest against each other for championship podiums.

Contributing to the team on a big stage like this will always be remembered for a long time. The ODI World Cup is conducted once every four years, whereas the Men's T20 World Cup is played every two years. The ICC Champions Trophy is where only the top 8 teams compete in each finals tournament.

Last but not least, the World Test Championship is played over two years. This article thoroughly talks about the men's cricketing teams that have won ICC trophies at some point in time. Let's take a look at the teams with the most ICC Trophies.
