The 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League is round the corner. 10 teams will be participating in this year’s event following the addition of two new franchises – Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants. The format has been tweaked to an extent with the 10 sides being divided into two virtual groups of five each. However, the schedule has been arranged in a way wherein each team will still end up playing 14 matches in the league stage.
The playoffs format remains the same – two Qualifiers and one Eliminator apart from the grand final. While the aim of every franchise is to win the trophy, they need to display consistent performances prior to that to make it to the playoffs. Only a few franchises have been able to do so over the 14 editions of the IPL that have been held.
Here are the four teams that have played the most number of matches in the playoffs stage over the years.
#4 Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) – 13 matches
#3 Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) – 13 matches
#2 Mumbai Indians – 18 matches
#1 Chennai Super Kings – 24 matches
