Which IPL teams have changed their names?

Correct Answer Pattern

Two major IPL franchise rebrands: Delhi Daredevils became Delhi Capitals in 2019, and Deccan Chargers (2009 champions) were terminated and replaced by Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2013. Other early franchises (Kochi Tuskers Kerala, Pune Warriors India) were dissolved rather than renamed.
