The IPL has given the cricketing world some terrific franchises. Some of them have left behind a strong legacy while others have earned themselves a tag of being a destructive force.
Today we will be talking about the top 5 most dangerous teams in IPL.
1. Mumbai Indians:
If Playing the IPL Finals is an art, the Mumbai Indians is a picasso of it.
The Five Team IPL Champions are perhaps the only team in IPL that have the knack of winning big matches from unexpected situations. If we look at the trajectory of the Mumbai Indians we can see that they made to the IPL Finals on 6 occasions and ended up winning 5 of them. Mumbai Indians have won the IPL by the finest of margins. They won the title by 1 run in IPL 2017 and went on to repeat the feat again by 1 run in IPL 2019. In one of the IPL seasons they lost the first 4 matches and eventually went on to win the title. Thus, we can clearly indicate that the Mumbai Indians are one of the force to reckon with.
2. Chennai Super Kings:
Chennai Super Kings are perhaps the most consistent side in IPL and this is what makes them a dangerous unit. CSK has made to the playoffs in 11 of the 13 editions they featured. They are also the team to make it to the Finals a record nine times. Although they lost the Finals on five of those occasions but that doesn't dent away their glory in any sort.
3. Kolkata Knight Riders:
The name might surprise a few but the Knights are known to spring in surprises. Remember the first match of IPL when Brendon Mccullum singlehandedly blew the game away or when the Knights skittled out the RCB for their lowest IPL total. The Knights are known for playing a fearless brand of cricket and that is what makes them as one of the most dangerous teams in IPL. They have also won the IPL title twice in 2012 and 2014.
4. Delhi Capitals:
The Delhi Capitals have started a new leaf of their IPL journey after rebranding themselves. The Delhi Capitals have re established their position in IPL as a dangerous side and have already upsetted the teams like Mumbai Indians and the Chennai Super Kings. DC have consistently roped in some of the finest domestic as well as international players in their team over the years and it is their class and tenacity that makes them a dangerous IPL team.
4. Sunrisers Hyderabad:
In the game dominated by batsmen if there is a side that can change the game completely by its bowling then that side has to be none other than Sunrisers Hyderabad. SRH has time and again proved their worth by bowling the opposition out of contention and it is their bowling that single handedly won them the IPL in 2016. Even in current scenario SRH depends a lot on their bowling to bail them out. A dangerous proposition , isn't it?.
