Under the leadership of Hardik Pandya, they stunned everyone by clinching the IPL trophy in their debut season in 2022.
Carrying forward their momentum into IPL 2023, they reached the final for the second consecutive year but were thwarted by CSK, denying them the chance for back-to-back titles and securing CSK’s fifth IPL championship.
