Which team won the inaugural IPL (Indian Premier League) season in 2008?

Solution (By Examveda Team)

The first-ever IPL season was held in 2008, and it marked the beginning of a revolutionary format in Indian cricket — a city-based franchise T20 league.

The Rajasthan Royals, led by the legendary Shane Warne, were considered underdogs at the start of the tournament.
Despite having no big superstars, they played exceptionally well as a team, combining young Indian talent with experienced international players.

In the final, held on June 1, 2008, at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, Rajasthan Royals faced Chennai Super Kings.
Rajasthan chased down the target of 164 runs in a thrilling finish, winning the match on the last ball of the innings.

Yusuf Pathan played a key role in the final, scoring 56 runs and taking 3 wickets.

This victory is often seen as one of the greatest examples of team spirit and leadership, with Shane Warne guiding a young and relatively unknown squad to glory.
