InsideSport rates Every IPL 2024 Squad (Best to worst)

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 is set to commence its 17th edition from March 22. Ten teams will compete for the most prestigious cricket title. Although the IPL has witnessed many teams in the past, only a few have been able to lift the IPL trophy. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI) have won the most number of titles, with five each in IPL history. Kolkata Knight Riders have the third highest number of IPL trophies, with two. Ahead of the IPL 2024 season, InsideSport has ranked the best to worst IPL teams based on their squad strength.

Best to worst teams in IPL 2024

Ranking	Team	IPL Trophies
1st	CSK	5
2nd	MI	5
3rd	SRH	1
4th	RR	1
5th	DC	0
6th	PBKS	0
7th	KKR	2
8th	RCB	0
9th	GT	0
10th	LSG	0

CSK boasts of a strong lineup in their squad, from legendary captain MS Dhoni to young talent like Rachin Ravindra. They also have one of the best all-rounders in Ravindra Jadeja.

After MI traded Hardik Pandya to their side from Gujarat Titans, the MI team seems impossible to beat. They have star players like Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, and Suryakumar Yadav.

Sunrisers Hyderabad is the third-best team in IPL 2024, considering their balanced side with a pace bowling lineup including Pat Cummins, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, and Umran Malik.

Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals also have balanced teams, which will be led by captains Sanju Samson and Rishabh Pant respectively. Despite having India’s stalwart, Virat Kohli, RCB still lacks depth in their side.

Gujarat Titans, who were finalists in IPL 2023, have a weaker side after their best player, Hardik Pandya, left the franchise. They are now left with an inexperienced side, led by the inexperienced captain Shubman Gill. Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) is the worst IPL side in 2024 by looking at their squad, having less experienced side.
