Top 5 teams with best win/loss ratio in IPL
The 11th edition of the IPL is all set to kick off on April 7, 2018, at the Wankhede Stadium, where the Mumbai Indians meet the Chennai Super Kings. So far only Rajasthan Royals, Deccan Chargers, Chennai Super Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians have lifted the IPL trophy.
Though some great teams have never won the IPL, they have had more wins than other teams which have won the IPL. This is due to the consistency that they have shown in the past decade of this decorated competition.
On that note, take a look at the 5 teams with the best win/loss ratio in IPL history:
#5 Kolkata Knight Riders (1.11)
One of only 3 teams to have won the IPL more than once, Kolkata Knight Riders saw their fortunes change after appointing Gautam Gambhir as captain. Adhering to their motto ‘Korbo Lorbo Jeetbo Re', the club are a testament to the passion of their local cricket-frenzy fans. They didn't make the semis until 2010, but a change in their core helped them in becoming one of the best IPL teams of this decade thereafter.
They qualified for the playoffs 5 times after that and lifted the trophy in 2012 and 2014. They also reached the finals of the 2014 Champions League but failed to beat CSK and ended runners-up. With a win percentage of 52.70, Kolkata have established themselves as one of the best teams in the IPL.
They would love to win the IPL for the third time this year under the able leadership of Dinesh Karthik.
