Indian Premier League: 5 teams with the most number of losses 

KXIP have appeared in the playoffs only twice in twelve editions

#3 Kings XI Punjab (94)

The semi-finalists of the inaugural season, Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) have managed to finish in the top four only once since then, when they lost to KKR in the finals in 2014. With as many as 13 captains (some of whom were forced changes due to injury) in twelve seasons and a new captain for the upcoming season, KXIP have the knack of chopping and changing with the squad a bit too much. They have been thoroughly entertaining in some parts of their journey, but have been disappointing overall. The George Bailey-led side did show some promise in 2014, but failed to continue the form in subsequent seasons. The Ashwin-led side has failed miserably in the second half of the season after having an incredible first half for two consecutive years now. With Rahul at the helm, the management will expect some consistency from the side.

From 176 completed games, KXIP have won 80, lost 94 and won two super-over contests. The win percentage of 46.02 is the second lowest among the current teams.

Deccan Chargers, rebranded as Sunrisers Hyderabad, have the second most defeats in the IPL

#2 Deccan Chargers / Sunrisers Hyderabad (95)

The Deccan Chargers after finishing at the bottom of the table in the inaugural edition, went on to lift the trophy the next season. The Gilchrist-led side reached the semifinals in the third season but faltered in the next two seasons. In the five seasons they played, DC lost 46 out of 75 games. Their win percentage of 38.66% is the second lowest among all IPL teams, after Pune Warriors (26.66%). They were rebranded as Sunrisers Hyderabad 2013 onwards after the ownership of the team shifted from Deccan Chronicles to Sun TV. And with it, their fortunes changed. The Sunrisers in the 7 years so far have been crowned champions once (2016) and have appeared in the play-offs five times (four consecutive times since 2016). 57 wins from 108 games is a tremendous turnaround for the side they were before 2013.

A combined loss of 95 games put Sunrisers Hyderabad/ Deccan Chargers second in the list of most defeats in the IPL.
