The Big Rivalries — Top 5 Most-Played IPL Matchups

Before we get into the full 45-matchup table, here are the five most-played and most iconic rivalries in IPL history.

1. CSK vs MI — The Greatest IPL Rivalry

Stat	Value
Total Matches	36
MI Wins	20
CSK Wins	16
Highest Score	MI 218/4
Last 5 Results	MI leads 3-2

This is the rivalry that defines the IPL. Five titles for Mumbai, five for Chennai. Two of the greatest captains in Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni. The numbers say MI leads, but CSK have won the matches that mattered most — including IPL finals in 2010 and 2023.

The head-to-head tilts toward MI primarily because of their dominance at Wankhede, where pace and bounce suit their bowling attack. At Chepauk, CSK's spinners have levelled the ledger. For a deep dive into this rivalry, read our full CSK vs MI rivalry guide.

2. MI vs KKR

Stat	Value
Total Matches	32
MI Wins	22
KKR Wins	10
Highest Score	KKR 245/6
Last 5 Results	MI leads 3-2

MI dominates this matchup with a 22-10 record. KKR have struggled against MI's pace battery, particularly Jasprit Bumrah, who has an exceptional record against Kolkata's top order. However, KKR's 2024 title run included a crucial victory over MI that showed the gap is narrowing.

3. RCB vs KKR

Stat	Value
Total Matches	31
KKR Wins	18
RCB Wins	13
Highest Score	RCB 248/3
Last 5 Results	Split 3-2

KKR holds a clear advantage here, winning 18 of 31 meetings. Sunil Narine has been the difference maker — his combination of mystery spin and explosive batting has haunted RCB across multiple seasons. RCB's wins in this matchup tend to come at Chinnaswamy, where their batting depth overwhelms KKR's bowling.

4. CSK vs RCB

Stat	Value
Total Matches	31
CSK Wins	19
RCB Wins	11
No Result	1
Highest Score	RCB 235/1
Last 5 Results	CSK leads 3-2

CSK dominates RCB in head-to-head with 19 wins to 11. Despite RCB having more individual firepower with Gayle, ABD, and Kohli across different eras, CSK's superior team balance and tactical nous under Dhoni have proved decisive. RCB fans will point out that their wins tend to be spectacular — 200+ chases and Chinnaswamy thrillers — while CSK grind out professional victories.

5. MI vs RCB

Stat	Value
Total Matches	31
MI Wins	19
RCB Wins	12
Highest Score	MI 235/4
Last 5 Results	MI leads 4-1

Another lopsided record that flatters MI. Mumbai's bowling attack consistently outperforms RCB's, and their death-overs execution has been the difference in close matches. AB de Villiers produced some of his greatest knocks against MI (including 133 not out), but those individual performances were not enough to shift the overall balance.

Complete Head-to-Head Records — All 45 Matchups

Here is the full record for every IPL team combination. Records include all matches through IPL 2025.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK)

Opponent	Played	CSK Won	Opp Won	NR
MI	36	16	20	0
RCB	31	19	11	1
KKR	28	17	11	0
DC	27	16	11	0
RR	26	15	11	0
SRH	20	13	7	0
PBKS	27	17	10	0
GT	7	3	4	0
LSG	6	4	2	0

CSK's record against most teams is dominant. The MI rivalry is their one weak spot. Against every other original team, CSK holds a comfortable lead — a testament to the franchise's consistency under Dhoni's leadership.

Mumbai Indians (MI)

Opponent	Played	MI Won	Opp Won
CSK	36	20	16
KKR	32	22	10
RCB	31	19	12
DC	30	17	13
RR	26	13	13
SRH	20	10	10
PBKS	30	17	13
GT	7	3	4
LSG	6	3	3

MI is the most dominant franchise in head-to-head records. Their 22-10 record against KKR is the most lopsided among original franchises. However, against RR and SRH, MI's record is perfectly even.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)

Opponent	Played	RCB Won	Opp Won	NR
CSK	31	11	19	1
MI	31	12	19	0
KKR	31	13	18	0
DC	28	15	13	0
RR	26	12	14	0
SRH	22	10	12	0
PBKS	30	16	14	0
GT	7	3	4	0
LSG	6	3	3	0

RCB trails against all three of the "big" IPL franchises (CSK, MI, KKR) and have a negative record against most opponents. This is the statistical reality behind their zero IPL titles — while they produce individual brilliance, they lose more crunch matches than they win.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)

Opponent	Played	KKR Won	Opp Won
CSK	28	11	17
MI	32	10	22
RCB	31	18	13
DC	29	16	13
RR	25	13	12
SRH	22	14	8
PBKS	30	18	12
GT	6	4	2
LSG	6	4	2

KKR holds strong records against most teams outside CSK and MI. Their 18-12 against PBKS and 18-13 against RCB show consistent superiority over mid-table franchises. Their 14-8 dominance of SRH is one of the most lopsided records in IPL history.

Delhi Capitals (DC)

Opponent	Played	DC Won	Opp Won
CSK	27	11	16
MI	30	13	17
RCB	28	13	15
KKR	29	13	16
RR	25	12	13
SRH	20	10	10
PBKS	30	16	14
GT	6	3	3
LSG	6	3	3

Delhi has a negative record against all the big four (CSK, MI, RCB, KKR), which explains their status as the franchise that has never won the IPL. Their transformation under Ricky Ponting from 2019 onwards improved their record significantly, but the historical deficit remains.

Rajasthan Royals (RR)

Opponent	Played	RR Won	Opp Won
CSK	26	11	15
MI	26	13	13
RCB	26	14	12
KKR	25	12	13
DC	25	13	12
SRH	16	7	9
PBKS	25	14	11
GT	6	3	3
LSG	6	2	4

RR's records are remarkably balanced against most opponents. Their even 13-13 split with MI and positive records against RCB, DC, and PBKS reflect a well-run franchise that punches at its weight.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)

Opponent	Played	SRH Won	Opp Won
CSK	20	7	13
MI	20	10	10
RCB	22	12	10
KKR	22	8	14
DC	20	10	10
RR	16	9	7
PBKS	20	12	8
GT	6	3	3
LSG	6	3	3

SRH has a strong record against PBKS (12-8) and RCB (12-10), but struggles against CSK (7-13) and KKR (8-14). Their 2024 season was historically dominant in batting, posting the highest team score in IPL history, but finals losses remain a weakness.

Punjab Kings (PBKS)

Opponent	Played	PBKS Won	Opp Won
CSK	27	10	17
MI	30	13	17
RCB	30	14	16
KKR	30	12	18
DC	30	14	16
RR	25	11	14
SRH	20	8	12
GT	6	2	4
LSG	6	2	4

PBKS has a negative head-to-head against every single IPL team. They are the only franchise where this is true. Their 10-17 against CSK and 12-18 against KKR are particularly damaging. Despite having individual match-winners like Gayle, KL Rahul, and Shikhar Dhawan at various points, Punjab has never found the team balance to dominate any rivalry.

Gujarat Titans (GT)

Opponent	Played	GT Won	Opp Won
CSK	7	4	3
MI	7	4	3
RCB	7	4	3
KKR	6	2	4
DC	6	3	3
RR	6	3	3
SRH	6	3	3
PBKS	6	4	2
LSG	6	3	3

GT entered the IPL in 2022 and won the title in their debut season. Their early head-to-head records are positive against most teams, reflecting the franchise's incredible start under Hardik Pandya. The 4-3 lead over CSK, MI, and RCB is impressive for a team that has only existed for four seasons.

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)

Opponent	Played	LSG Won	Opp Won
CSK	6	2	4
MI	6	3	3
RCB	6	3	3
KKR	6	2	4
DC	6	3	3
RR	6	4	2
SRH	6	3	3
PBKS	6	4	2
GT	6	3	3

LSG's records are mostly even after four seasons, with positive records against RR and PBKS. Their 2-4 against CSK and KKR highlight the difficulty of competing against the established powerhouses.

Most Lopsided Head-to-Head Records

These are the matchups where one team has the biggest advantage.

Matchup	Leader	Record	Win %
MI vs KKR	MI	22-10	68.8%
CSK vs RCB	CSK	19-11	63.3%
MI vs RCB	MI	19-12	61.3%
KKR vs PBKS	KKR	18-12	60.0%
CSK vs PBKS	CSK	17-10	63.0%

MI vs KKR at 22-10 is the most dominant record in IPL history among original franchises. Mumbai's pace bowling has consistently exploited KKR's batting weaknesses, and the Eden Gardens crowd pressure has never been enough to turn the tide.

Which Team Has the Best Overall Record?

When you add up all head-to-head records, here is where each team stands in terms of total wins.

Team	Total Wins	Total Losses	Win %
CSK	120+	85	58.5%
MI	124+	90	57.9%
KKR	108+	95	53.2%
RCB	95+	110	46.3%
RR	89+	92	49.2%
DC	94+	107	46.8%
SRH	74+	72	50.7%
PBKS	86+	118	42.2%
GT	30+	27	52.6%
LSG	27+	28	49.1%

CSK and MI are clearly the two most successful franchises in IPL history, with win percentages above 57%. PBKS at 42.2% is the lowest among teams that have played in every season.
