Over the years Indian Premier League has witnessed a great rise and is one of the most popular events apart from the ICC tournaments. There are many similarities between IPL teams and international teams be it the way they approach the game or having the big names but unable to perform at the big stage.

Here's a comparison of the international equivalents for all ten IPL teams participating in this year's competition.

1. Chennai Super Kings - Australia

Australia and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have been the most consistent sides over the years. While Chennai Super Kings have won five titles and qualified for the playoff stages 12 times the most among teams whereas Australia have been dominating cricket in the last few years. They have been consistent throughout the bilateral series leading up to the main events.

Australia have dominated ICC events winning the World Cup six times (1987, 1999, 2003, 2007, 2015, and 2023) and WT20 in 2021. They also won the World Test Championship in 2023 and Champions Trophy twice in 2006 and 2009 which takes their trophy count to 10 in global cricket events. They recently made it to the semi-final of the Champions Trophy 2025 and also have made it to the Final of the World Test Championship 2025. 

Both Australia and Chennai Super Kings have shown domination and been able to remain consistent over a long period and coincidentally both share the same yellow jersey.
