6 teams that have qualified for the playoffs for the most number of times

Sunrisers Hyderabad

#4 Royal Challengers Bangalore (5 times)

Royal Challengers Bangalore

Royal Challengers Bangalore has been the unluckiest team in the IPL. The team has always struggled to make it to the playoffs in spite of building one of the best teams in the IPL every single season. The team has had some of the biggest names in the world like Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, and Chris Gayle among others, but is yet to win an IPL title.

In the 11 season so far, they have qualified for the playoffs 5 times. Their best season came in IPL 2016 where they finished 2nd on the points table and emerged as the runner-ups.

Royal Challengers have played in 3 IPL finals in 2009, 2011 and 2016 respectively, but have unfortunately lost all of them.
