Since IPL 2023, the list of most losses has seen a surprising shift. Top teams have struggled, narrowly lost matches, and faced a string of disappointing results.
Sunrisers Hyderabad lead the list with 24 losses in 45 matches. Despite a strong squad, they’ve lost more games than they’ve won.
Chennai Super Kings (23 losses in 45 matches) and Mumbai Indians (23 losses in 47 matches) are close behind. Even these champion teams couldn’t avoid a tough run of defeats.
Delhi Capitals (22 losses in 47 matches), Punjab Kings (22 losses in 46 matches), and Rajasthan Royals (22 losses in 47 matches) follow closely. Inconsistency and missed opportunities proved costly for these teams.
Lucknow Super Giants (21 losses in 43 matches) also struggled. Despite showing promise, their inconsistency in crucial moments held them back.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (19 losses in 46 matches), Kolkata Knight Riders (19 losses in 44 matches), and Gujarat Titans (19 losses in 44 matches) each have 19 losses. These teams managed pressure better than others, which helped them avoid longer losing streaks.
The narrow gap between teams highlights just how competitive the IPL is. A single rough patch or a few close losses can quickly send even the best teams down the rankings.
