The 3 longest winning streaks in IPL history

A team always looks to make it a habit to clinch the games. No team likes to lose in any sport. In the Indian Premier League (IPL), there have been teams that have achieved a winning streak and they held the record for most consecutive wins. In the history of IPL, these teams have registered their names with the most wins on the bounce.

Let’s take a look at the 3 longest winning streaks in IPL history:

1.Kolkata Knight Riders (10)

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) is the team with the longest winning streak in IPL history. They have recorded ten consecutive wins between the 2014 and 2015 seasons. In the 2014 IPL, KKR suffered miserably when they lost five out of the first seven games. But their streak then began as they won the remaining seven league clashes with wins in qualifier 1 and the final as well. They won their first match of IPL 2015 but lost the next to put an end to their streak.

2.Punjab Kings (8)

Punjab Kings (formerly known as Kings XI Punjab) won the last three games in the 2013 season and the first five games of the 2014 edition to achieve the feat of eight straight wins. They had a dream run in the UAE leg of IPL 2014 where they won all the five matches played. Their streak ended when they played the first match in India as they went on to reach the finals that season only to lose to KKR.

3.Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings (7)

RCB has managed seven wins on the trot in the IPL. They registered this feat in the 2011 edition when their streak started with their sixth match in the league stage. The team then won seven clashes on the spin. RCB reached the finals of that season as well but lost to CSK in the final. CSK themselves have seven consecutive victories to their name. They got to this feat in the 2013 edition when they tasted success on seven occasions on the bounce. They defeated KKR twice in that period. The team reached the finals but lost to MI.
