Consistency and winning, are two of the most important aspects of any team sport. More so in franchise sport, where there is a lot at stake - finance and fandom. IPL has always favoured consistency - the teams with consistent performances have been best-placed to win the silverware.

In this article, we take a look at the teams with the most consecutive wins in IPL history.
