Rating the performance of IPL teams this decade
The tournament is just getting bigger and better with every passing year and things are set up beautifully for them to step into a new era.
1. Chennai Super Kings – 9.75/10
Without a shadow of a debate, Chennai Super Kings are the finest IPL team or even the best T20 team across all the leagues if judged by consistency. They won their first title in this decade and failed to reach the finals only once in their 8 seasons of existence. They too served a two-year suspension, which kept them out of the league in 2016 and 2017.
MS Dhoni always believes in having a strong core and doesn’t like changing it frequently. That ideology of his was perhaps one of the biggest reasons behind the success of Chennai Super Kings, who always kept their core intact no matter how many auctions tried to destroy it. The current lot of CSK has a lot of players above the age of 30, but Dhoni’s leadership seems to be inspirational enough for them.
This was a near-perfect decade for the Super Kings, winning the trophy thrice in 2010, 2011 and 2018 and also reaching the final in 2012, 2013, 2015 and 2019. They never remained out of the top four in all the seasons of their existence, becoming the only team to ever do so.
