After that many countries launched their own 20-20 format league but the IPL is still considered as one of the best leagues in the world.
Many teams over the years have been super successful in the cash-rich league. Mumbai Indians (MI) tops the list when it comes to trophies. The franchise has won a record five titles in the history of the tournament. But in terms of winning percentage, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) who have won four trophies is a bit ahead of the Mumbai Indians. CSK has a winning percentage of 60.30% in 195 matches played in the IPL.
