Most consecutive wins Overall (KKR)

Although there are some outstanding teams in the Indian Premier League, this record will be difficult to match. 10 consecutive wins in any form of cricket is an incredible achievement, and the KKR unit was outstanding. After a slow start to the 2014 season, the Knight Riders went on a nine-game winning streak that culminated in a decisive victory over Kings XI Punjab. KKR managed to win their first game of the IPL 2015 before Bangalore ended their 10-game winning streak.

Most consecutive defeats Overall (DD, Pune Warriors)

Pune Warriors India had a disastrous run in the IPL throughout two seasons. The team ranked second last and last in both seasons, unable to find a recipe for success. Between both the 2012 and 2013 seasons, Pune ended up going on an eleven-match winless streak, which was the greatest in the tournament. Sourav Ganguly’s lacklustre performances did not help his team’s cause. The Warriors had a 0.363 win-loss ratio, winning 12 and losing 33 games.

The Delhi Daredevils renaissance was part of the Delhi franchise’s enormous underperformance. While the Delhi Capitals have turned their fortunes around, the Daredevils have set some unfavourable records. They failed to qualify for the playoffs for 6 straight seasons, finishing in the bottom two in four of them. Their lowest point came in the 2014 season when they lost all three games in India before winning two more in the UAE. They finished the season with nine consecutive losses, extending their losing streak to the IPL 2015. They also lost their first two games of the following season.

Most M.O.M Awards (AB de Villiers)

AB de Villiers, a South African right-handed batsman, currently holds the record for most MOM in the Indian premier league. For his achievement in the Indian Premier League, he was named Man of the Match 25 times. AB played for the Delhi Daredevils and the Royal Challengers Bangalore, scoring 5162 runs in 170 innings at a 39.71 average. He was a game-changing Royal Challengers Bangalore player who formed an Indian premier league record alliance with Virat Kohli. He made his Indian premier league breakthrough in 2008 with Delhi Capitals against Chennai Super Kings, and ever since he has three centuries and 40 fifties.

Most Fair Play Awards (Chennai Super Kings)

Chennai Super Kings have won the IPL’s highest fair play award. Chennai Super Kings, a four-time titleholder, has managed to win this title six times in the IPL. This team is led by Mahendra Singh Dhoni, also recognised as Captain Cool. He plays a key role in preserving the game’s dignity. Chennai Super Kings managed to win this title three years in a row in 2013, 2014, and 2015.
