The <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Indian Premier League</a> season 16 has got off to a great start as the fans have welcomed the T20 extravaganza with great fervour. The tournament is expected to be even grander this year as it’s happening in the home and away format for the first time since 2019. Fans all over the world are rooting for their favourite franchises to take down their opposition and clinch the coveted title.<o:p></o:p>

When it comes to winning the IPL Trophy, a few teams have perfected the art while the others are still struggling to clinch the title even once.

It takes a herculean effort from the teams to win a single match in the playoffs and get a step closer to the big prize as the playoffs test the true character of a team. The players have the extra added pressure of playing a knockout game and require tremendous fortitude to take their team out of a precarious situation.<o:p></o:p>

In the 15-year-long history of the IPL, few teams have relished the challenge of the playoffs and crushed their opponents time and again with utmost ease in high pressure games. As the 16th season of the tournament continues to enthral the fans, let’s take a look at the top five teams with the most wins in the playoffs in IPL history:<o:p></o:p>

5. Sunrisers Hyderabad (5 wins out of 11 matches)<o:p></o:p>

Hyderabad didn’t have the best of the starts in <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-appeal/ipl-5-players-who-faded-away-after-a-terrific-season/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IPL</a> as they finished last on the points table in the inaugural edition. However, they turned things around in the second season and went on to win the tournament under the leadership of Adam Gilchrist. <o:p></o:p>

After having a couple of below-par seasons in 2011 and 2012, they regained their form in 2013, under a new name, and once again qualified for the playoffs after three years. The 2009 champions had to wait for another seven years for their second title as David Warner inspired them to victory against the odds in 2016. To date, SRH are the only team to win the trophy after playing the Eliminator of the competition.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>

SRH have won five out of 11 matches in the playoffs and are the fifth most successful side. Having made several changes to their squad at the mega and mini-auction in 2022, the franchise would hope for another remarkable season from their players in the ongoing edition.<o:p></o:p>

4. Royal Challengers Bangalore (6 wins out of 14 matches)<o:p></o:p>

The Royal Challengers Bangalore are one of the most popular teams in the competition as they enjoy a massive fan following all over the world. Like Hyderabad, RCB also didn’t start their IPL campaign on a high finishing seventh on the points table in the inaugural edition. However, they finished as the runner-ups of the next edition under the leadership of Anil Kumble.<o:p></o:p>

They further reached the final of the tournament in 2011 and 2016 but once again failed to win the title. In their 15-year-long history of the competition, an <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-appeal/ipl-10-most-memorable-moments-in-history/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IPL </a>trophy has eluded RCB despite their phenomenal performances in the group stage.<o:p></o:p>

In the past few years, they have turned out to be one of the most consistent teams in the tournament. They’ve been qualifying for the playoffs consecutively for the past three years. In the 14 matches played in the knockout stages, they’ve won on six occasions. In the ongoing season, fans would hope that the team will 'Play Bold' and break the jinx to finally have their hands on the trophy.<o:p></o:p>

3. Kolkata Knight Riders (8 wins out of 13 matches)<o:p></o:p>

KKR sowed the seeds for the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-appeal/10-indian-players-who-broke-into-international-circuit-through-ipl-performances/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IPL</a> to become the grandest T20 league in the world courtesy of a breathtaking knock from Brendon McCullum of 158* off 73 balls. However, despite a brilliant start, their performances suffered a downward curve as they failed to qualify for the playoffs in the first three seasons.<o:p></o:p>

They finished in the top four for the first time in 2011 and went on to clinch their first title in 2012 under the leadership of Gautam Gambhir. Knight Riders further added another trophy to their cabinet in the 2014 edition and became the second team to win two IPL titles.<o:p></o:p>

In the 13 matches played in the playoffs, KKR have won on eight occasions are the third-best team in the knockout stages. They managed to reach the final in the 2021 edition as well but failed to clinch their third title against CSK.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>

2. Mumbai Indians (12 wins out of 18 matches)<o:p></o:p>

After being an ordinary side in the first two seasons, Mumbai Indians took the IPL by storm in the 2010 edition as they reached the final for the first time. However, they fell one step short of winning the trophy getting beaten by Chennai Super Kings in the final.<o:p></o:p>

It further took three more years for Mumbai to win their first title as they found a new leader in Rohit Sharma. The win started a juggernaut for Mumbai as they went on to win four more titles in the next seven years becoming the most successful franchise in the history of the tournament.<o:p></o:p>

Over the years, Mumbai have become one of the most feared oppositions in the playoffs as they have 12 wins out of 18 matches. They had their worst season in 2022 finishing last on the points table and the five-time champions will hope to live up to their reputation in the ongoing season.<o:p></o:p>

1. Chennai Super Kings (15 wins out of 24 matches)<o:p></o:p>

MS Dhoni is known as the man with the ‘Midas touch’ as he can turn matches in his favour with his sharp leadership skills. And the boy from Ranchi has proven it time and again being at Chennai’s helm having led them to four <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-appeal/5-players-who-have-never-captained-their-ipl-franchises-6926/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IPL</a> titles.<o:p></o:p>

CSK finished as runner-up in the inaugural edition of the tournament losing the final against Rajasthan Royals by a close margin. They have been the most consistent teams in IPL history as they have qualified for the playoffs 11 times out of the 13 seasons they’ve played.<o:p></o:p>

The four-time champions have won 15 matches out of 24 in the knockout stages making them one of the most formidable sides in the competition. Having finished the last season on the ninth position, the entire CSK team will look to put up an improved performance in the ongoing season. If they manage to do well then they can clinch their fifth title under MS Dhoni.<o:p></o:p>
