The 2020 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is to be held in the UAE from September 19 to November 10. This is the second time the event will be held in the Middle East, although the first time only 20 matches of the 2014 edition took place in the UAE owing to the general elections in India.
Defending champions Mumbai Indians and runners-up Chennai Super Kings will be among the top contenders for the crown this time. Also, Kings XI Punjab, with five wins in as many matches in the UAE will be a dark horse. In this feature, we take a closer look at the longest winning streak of franchises in the IPL.
SURPRISE AT THE TOP
Having captured the IPL crown four and three times respectively, one would expect either Mumbai Indians or Chennai Super Kings to hold the record for most consecutive matches won in the tournament. However, that isn’t the case.
It is in fact Kolkata Knight Riders who enjoy the tag of the team with the most successive triumphs. KKR’s unbeaten run stretched from May 7, 2014, to April 8, 2015, as they won 10 games on a trot.
