MUMBAI INDIANS
Mumbai Indians (MI) are without a doubt the best team in the IPL. Not only in the IPL, but in the world as well, MI is one of the best T20 teams. During the past 10 seasons, they have won five IPL championships. They have completely dominated in the T20 format, demonstrating their might and might to the rest of the world. With 59.04 percent of the games won, MI has the second-best winning percentage in IPL history.
In total, they have won 122 games, the most of any IPL team.
CHENNAI SUPER KINGS
Chennai Super Kings are the only team that can challenge Mumbai Indians for the title of best IPL team in tournament history (CSK). The MS Dhoni-led CSK have been consistently good from the very beginning. They have won the trophy four times since 2008.
In the history of the Indian T20 league, their victory percentage of 60.27 percent is the highest of any team. The team has won 111 games out of 186, second most in the sport’s history.
KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS
Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) both had a difficult start to their IPL campaigns. Both teams had three consecutive bad seasons. KKR finished sixth, ninth, and sixth in the first three seasons of the IPL. The team needed a turnaround, and it was achieved in 2011.
KKR acquired Gautam Gambhir in the 2011 IPL auction and named him captain. This began KKR’s successful run. The team reached the playoffs and finished fourth. Despite this, they did win their first IPL title in 2012, beating Chennai Super Kings in the final. Since Gambhir’s departure from KKR in 2018, the team has only made the playoffs once. Moreover, their total victory percentage in the IPL has slipped a little, now standing at 51.25 percent. With those two IPL wins and a steady run from 2011 to 2018, KKR has become one of the most successful teams in the IPL.
RAJASTHAN ROYALS
Rajasthan Royals are among the most successful teams in the history of the Indian Premier League. Shane Warne led the team to the IPL title in 2008, the first season of the tournament. After that, the team’s best result came in the form of a third-place finish in the year 2013. Aside from that, the squad also made it to the playoffs in 2015 and 2018.
SUNRISERS HYDERABAD
In the IPL, Deccan Chargers Hyderabad was replaced by SRH. Although this squad doesn’t have a large number of victories to its credit, it is regarded as one of the best in IPL history. As a result of Warner’s leadership, SRH’s IPL title in 2016 and second place in 2018 were won by the team. This team is affectionately known as the “Orange Army,” and they never fail to entertain their fans to a great game of cricket.
