Mumbai Indians reign above Chennai Super Kings when it comes to Indian Premier League matches won – Mumbai have won 97 of their 171 matches in IPL history, and en route, have won three IPL titles. But Chennai have won 91 off 150, making for a win percentage of 61.07% over Mumbai’s 57.01%.
A lot of that is down to Chennai’s two-year ban, but such has been their dominance, they are still one of the most successful sides in the tournament, despite missing out on two years. Their win percentage is also the best in the league – there have been 13 IPL franchises in all – with none of the other sides breaching the 60-mark.
