Top 5 IPL teams of all time

Huge sixes, diving and sliding stops, brilliant fielding, close finishes are all part of the show. Three hours of frenzied action spiced up with a trumpet tune, screaming fans and cheerleaders. This is essentially what the Indian Premier League is all about.

The most entertaining cricket league has completed a decade and a total of 13 teams have played in the IPL out of which only Rajasthan Royals, Deccan Chargers, Chennai Super Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians have lifted the trophy in IPL history so far.

The teams are ranked on the basis of the number of times they made it to the playoffs.

The 5 best teams to have played in the IPL are -

#5 Rajasthan Royals (3)

It was a close call between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals with the latter getting a node. Led by some incredible cricketers like Shane Warne, Rahul Dravid and Steve Smith, Royals have been a force to reckon with in every IPL they have played.

They won the inaugural tournament and have also reached playoffs in 2013 and 2015.

Having a win % of close to 54 is great for a team that doesn't spend much and starts as an underdog in almost every IPL. Coming back to IPL after an exile of 2 years, Royals would love to win their 2nd IPL title.
