The team from the southern part of India is the most consistent team in the league&#8217;s history, as they have made it to the playoffs in every season. The <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/twitter-reactions-half-fit-ms-dhoni-wins-over-fans-with-two-amazing-stumpings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>MS Dhoni</strong></a>-led side has won 3 titles in 10 seasons, and fondly they are known as the Yellow Brigade.

The Hyderabad franchise is known for its ethics and they are one of the respected teams in the IPL. The team has won 2 titles in 12 seasons, and they are well-known as the Orange Army. The <a href="http://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/srh-sunrisers-hyderabad/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Sunrisers Hyderabad</strong></a> have been the front runners in IPL with good performances, and apart from a couple of seasons the side has always looked settled with their combinations. The team from Hyderabad are mostly served by good players, but they are unpredictable and that&#8217;s why they are similar to Arsenal.

Arsenal is one of the biggest franchises in club football history, and they have delivered the results consistently over the years. The team has won 3 titles in their EPL history, and they are well-known as the Gunners. Arsenal is one of the teams to keep a high number of clean sheets which is similar to Sunrisers success in defending low totals.

The Gunners have struggled in the previous season with their contribution from the mid-fielders which is very weak, like the middle-order of the Hyderabad team. The side is fighting out for a top 4 finish which is similar to the situation of Sunrisers.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-336747" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Kolkata-Knight-Riders-3.jpg" alt="Kolkata Knight Riders" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-336747" class="wp-caption-text">Kolkata Knight Riders.

<strong>Kolkata Knight Riders</strong> is a widely popular team because of its owners, and the brand of cricket they play on the field.

Knight Riders is also known for leaving out some crucial players who became stars in other teams, and that&#8217;s why the franchise has a resemblance with the Chelsea team.

The football club from London is one of the most enticing teams in the EPL, as they always consist of some of the recognized names of the game. Chelsea is fondly known as the Pensioners, and they have won 5 titles in their league history. The team won the title in the 2016-2017 season with an unbeaten 13 match streak after a poor start which is similar to the KKR&#8217;s tourney in 2014, where they won the title after winning 9 matches on the trot. Like the Kolkata team, the club from London also blows hot and cold in different seasons.

5. Royal Challengers Bangalore &#8211; Tottenham Hotspur

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-334993" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Royal-Challengers-Bangalore-4.jpg" alt="Royal Challengers Bangalore" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-334993" class="wp-caption-text">Royal Challengers Bangalore. (Photo: IANS)</figcaption>

The team from Bangalore has always been the underachievers of the league, as they never play to their potential. At the start of every season, the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2019-after-rcbs-exit-rohan-gavaskar-wants-virat-kohli-to-rest-himself/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Virat Kohli</strong></a>-led side are the favourites among the fans to lift the title but they get bogged down under the weight of expectations. The Challengers are also known as Bold Army, but in 12 seasons the franchise has never won a championship. Over the years, the team has been served by some proven match-winners, but they have failed to click as a unit which is a similar characteristic of the EPL team Tottenham Hotspur.

Tottenham has been one of the most compatible sides in the last decade of EPL but the team has always buckled under pressure and a championship win has eluded them. The Spurs are nicknamed as the Lilywhites. Like RCB they have struggled with a proper defending unit, and they are the team that has conceded the most goals in the EPL history.

Spurs completely rely on their hero Harry Kane which is similar to the Bangalore team&#8217;s dependence on the Indian maverick Virat Kohli and in every season players from both the sides provide individual brilliance, but not a collective effort.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-454389" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Kings-XI-Punjab.jpg" alt="Kings XI Punjab" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-454389" class="wp-caption-text">Kings XI Punjab.

Kings XI Punjab has always been one of the dashing teams in the Indian Premier League. In every season the team from the north of India will be favourites to win the championship because of the talents present in the side. Punjab team has always been unpredictable in their IPL tournament but sometimes they take the audience to the fairyland with their colossal exhibition. <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2019-match-52-kxip-vs-kkr-predicted-top-performer-based-on-stats-and-records-for-fantasy-cricket/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>KXIP</strong></a> has a knack of signing average players at high prices in every IPL auction and that&#8217;s why they are similar to the EPL side Liverpool.

Liverpool is one of the most supported football teams in the world and the side has always provided incredible ties. They are well-known as the Reds and their fans are waiting patiently for a championship win like the supporters of Punjab team. Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino can be easily compared with K.L. Rahul, Chris Gayle and these six superstars are the shining knights of their respective sides.

Like Kings XI, Liverpool also has the habit of losing the grip on their league position at the end of the league and that has cost the side a couple of times and again this season Reds is in the close contention to bag title.

IPL and EPL have been the stepping stones for cricket and football respectively, and there are numerous similarities between both the iconic leagues.

<p>In this century the most significant transformation in the game of cricket has to be the emergence of the T20s. The players and the spectators have adapted to this form” like a fish takes to water”. Within a decade the slam-bang cricket has changed the landscape of the gentleman’s game, and its aura has spread to all parts of the world. Nowadays every cricketing nation has a domestic T20 league of their own, and IPL is one of them which emanated from the cricket loving country, <strong>India</strong>.</p>
<p>The Indian Premier League joined the T20 bandwagon in 2008, and now it has become an industry that constantly churns out quality cricketers.

The team from Hyderabad are mostly served by good players, but they are unpredictable and that&#8217;s why they are similar to Arsenal.</p>
<p>Arsenal is one of the biggest franchises in club football history, and they have delivered the results consistently over the years. The team has won 3 titles in their EPL history, and they are well-known as the Gunners. Arsenal is one of the teams to keep a high number of clean sheets which is similar to Sunrisers success in defending low totals.</p>
<p>The Gunners have struggled in the previous season with their contribution from the mid-fielders which is very weak, like the middle-order of the Hyderabad team. The side is fighting out for a top 4 finish which is similar to the situation of Sunrisers.</p>
<h3>4. Kolkata Knight Riders &#8211; Chelsea</h3>

<p><strong>Kolkata Knight Riders</strong> is a widely popular team because of its owners, and the brand of cricket they play on the field. The team from the Eastern part of India has won the title 2 times, and they have a good track record in most of the seasons. The franchise has always been home to some of the superstars of the game. Knight Riders is also known for leaving out some crucial players who became stars in other teams, and that&#8217;s why the franchise has a resemblance with the Chelsea team.</p>
<p>The football club from London is one of the most enticing teams in the EPL, as they always consist of some of the recognized names of the game. Chelsea is fondly known as the Pensioners, and they have won 5 titles in their league history. The team won the title in the 2016-2017 season with an unbeaten 13 match streak after a poor start which is similar to the KKR&#8217;s tourney in 2014, where they won the title after winning 9 matches on the trot. Like the Kolkata team, the club from London also blows hot and cold in different seasons.</p>
<h3>5. Royal Challengers Bangalore &#8211; Tottenham Hotspur</h3>
<figure id="attachment_334993" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-334993" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-334993" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Royal-Challengers-Bangalore-4.jpg" alt="Royal Challengers Bangalore" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-334993" class="wp-caption-text">Royal Challengers Bangalore. (Photo: IANS)</figcaption></figure>
<p>The team from Bangalore has always been the underachievers of the league, as they never play to their potential. At the start of every season, the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2019-after-rcbs-exit-rohan-gavaskar-wants-virat-kohli-to-rest-himself/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Virat Kohli</strong></a>-led side are the favourites among the fans to lift the title but they get bogged down under the weight of expectations. The Challengers are also known as Bold Army, but in 12 seasons the franchise has never won a championship. Over the years, the team has been served by some proven match-winners, but they have failed to click as a unit which is a similar characteristic of the EPL team Tottenham Hotspur.</p>
<p>Tottenham has been one of the most compatible sides in the last decade of EPL but the team has always buckled under pressure and a championship win has eluded them. The Spurs are nicknamed as the Lilywhites. Like RCB they have struggled with a proper defending unit, and they are the team that has conceded the most goals in the EPL history.</p>
<p>Spurs completely rely on their hero Harry Kane which is similar to the Bangalore team&#8217;s dependence on the Indian maverick Virat Kohli and in every season players from both the sides provide individual brilliance, but not a collective effort.</p>
<p></p>
<h3>6. Kings XI Punjab &#8211; Liverpool</h3>
<figure id="attachment_454389" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-454389" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-454389" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Kings-XI-Punjab.jpg" alt="Kings XI Punjab" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-454389" class="wp-caption-text">Kings XI Punjab. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption></figure>
<p>Kings XI Punjab has always been one of the dashing teams in the Indian Premier League. In every season the team from the north of India will be favourites to win the championship because of the talents present in the side. Punjab team has always been unpredictable in their IPL tournament but sometimes they take the audience to the fairyland with their colossal exhibition. <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2019-match-52-kxip-vs-kkr-predicted-top-performer-based-on-stats-and-records-for-fantasy-cricket/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>KXIP</strong></a> has a knack of signing average players at high prices in every IPL auction and that&#8217;s why they are similar to the EPL side Liverpool.</p>
<p>Liverpool is one of the most supported football teams in the world and the side has always provided incredible ties. They are well-known as the Reds and their fans are waiting patiently for a championship win like the supporters of Punjab team. Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino can be easily compared with K.L. Rahul, Chris Gayle and these six superstars are the shining knights of their respective sides.</p>
<p>Like Kings XI, Liverpool also has the habit of losing the grip on their league position at the end of the league and that has cost the side a couple of times and again this season Reds is in the close contention to bag title.</p>
<p>IPL and EPL have been the stepping stones for cricket and football respectively, and there are numerous similarities between both the iconic leagues.</p>

These teams have fared similarly in IPL and EPL over the years.
