There is no surprise that CSK have topped the list with a five-game margin even though they missed two IPL seasons. It sums up the consistency of Chennai Super Kings. Not only for plays-off, they also hold the record for playing most number of IPL finals, winning three of them.

CSK qualified for the final in the inaugural edition, but lost to Rajasthan Royals. In the next edition, they lost in the semi-finals. The Chennai-based team came back strong in the 2010 season. Dhoni's brilliance to remove Pollard, who was running away with the game, ensured that Chennai Super Kings won their maiden title.

In 2011, they beat RCB to become the first ever team to win back-to-back IPL trophies. For the third consecutive time, they qualified for the final in 2012, but KKR stopped their winning streak by winning their first IPL final. CSK lost a second consecutive final against Mumbai in 2013.

Mumbai Indians beat them once again in the 2015 final, becoming the first team to beat them twice in IPL finals. After serving a two-year suspension period, CSK came back with a bang. They won last season by beating SRH in the final, and thus became only the second team after Mumbai to win the IPL thrice.
