List of Teams With Most Losses in IPL
IPL franchises with the highest number of defeats across all seasons, reflecting longevity and occasional inconsistency.
With 18+ seasons completed, long-standing franchises naturally accumulate more losses. Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru top the all-time losses chart simply because they have played the most matches.
