Unsuccessful Team in IPL

The IPL is a cricket powerhouse, filled with amazing matches and passionate fans. Some teams have become champions, consistently winning and leaving their mark on the trophy.

Others, despite great players and impressive moments, have not quite reached the top. For example, the Delhi Capitals, despite having played a significant number of matches (238) and boasting talented players, have not been able to translate that into consistent success. They are the most unsuccessful team in the IPL, with only 105 wins compared to 127 losses.
