1. Mumbai Indians

The Mumbai Indians had one of the slowest starts in IPL as they finished at fifth and seventh in the starting seasons of the game. But it did not take too long for them to make a comeback as they have only been absent from the playoffs twice in nine seasons.

They won the championship title in the years 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020, under the skilled captaincy of the highly talented Rohit Sharma. The Reliance Group is the owner of the team. Mumbai Indians remain at the top of this list, with a winning percentage of 58.1 percent.

2. Chennai Super Kings

Though the Mumbai Indians are immensely successful in the game, the highest winning percentage in IPL of 59.68 percent is still held by the Chennai Super Kings. In fact, these two teams have always been each other’s strongest competition.

Chennai is led by Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the man who had led Team India to several major victories. He has been leading the team from the front since 2008, and they have won the title thrice (2010, 2011, and 2018) under his captaincy. They have won 111 matches out of the 186 played so far and tied in just one match to date. Let’s see what they have in store for us at Indian Premier League 2021.

4. Royal Challengers Bangalore

Royal Challengers Bangalore is a good team that has been having a stroke of hard luck for a long time now. They have shown excellent gameplay time and again in IPL, and yet, they continue to miss the trophy by a whisker. Led by Virat Kohli, the current captain of Team India, they have ended up as a runner-up at least thrice in the game.
