Teams With Most Losses In IPL History
Teams With Most Losses In IPL History: The Indian Premier League is a famous cricket tournament annually in India. So it’s interesting to see how these teams’ performances over the years have changed, especially considering that they no longer rely on traditional scouting systems like they once did. So far, MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings have the best winning percentage in IPL, but Nita Ambani’s Mumbai Indians have won the most games. But, of course, as a spectator, the game is the same whether you win or lose.
There is a lot at stake in the IPL; this has been seen in the number of recently eliminated teams. In this article, we will be discussing the teams that have lost the most in IPL history.
Delhi Capitals
Delhi Capitals is the worst team in IPL history because they have lost the most games. In 13 IPL seasons, they have played 202 games and lost 118 of them. The Delhi team has won 46.94% of the games they have played. They are one of only three teams that have never been able to hold the IPL trophy. Delhi has only been to the IPL playoffs four times (2008, 2009, 2019, 2020 & 2021).
Sunrisers Hyderabad/ Deccan Chargers
The Deccan Chargers came in last place in the first season, but they went on to win the championship the following year. In the third season, the team led by Gilchrist made it to the semifinals, but in the next two seasons, they didn’t do as well. They lost 46 of their 75 games over the five years they played. Their percentage of wins is 38.66%, which is second-worst in the IPL. After Sun TV bought the team from Deccan Chronicles in 2013, they changed their name to Sunrisers Hyderabad. And with it, everything changed.
Punjab Kings/ Kings XI Punjab
Punjab Kings are third on the list of IPL teams that have lost the most games. The team has lost 116 out of 218 games in the world’s toughest T20 league, which is the most. Their win percentage is 45.62, which is the lowest. Punjab has a bad habit of switching things up a lot. In 13 IPL seasons, the team has had 13 different captains, and only once, in 2008, did it make it to the knockout rounds. Mayank Agarwal, an Indian opener, is their current captain.
Royal Challengers Bangalore
Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore has lost 113 of its 227 IPL games, which is the fourth most of any team in the league’s history. After the Delhi Capitals, Deccan Chargers, and the Punjab Kings, this is the team that hasn’t won the IPL yet. RCB has won 104 games, which is 48.65 percent of the time. Even though they have had big names like AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli, RCB has always let their fans down in the knockout stage. Three times, the Red Army has made it to the playoffs (2010, 2015, 2020 & 2021).
Kolkata Knight Riders
Kolkata Knight Riders, which is one of the best teams in the IPL, has the fifth most losses. Shahrukh Khan, a Bollywood star, has a stake in a team along with Juhi Chawla. The Kolkata Knight Riders team has won 51.56 percent of its 223 games and lost 106 of them. Gautam Gambhir, who used to be an Indian opener, has led the KKR team to two championships (in 2012 and 2014). However, Kolkata Knight Riders haven’t won the title since 2014.
These teams have all had to go through a lot of heartache for many seasons, and it will be interesting to see how they manage to turn things around in the coming days.
