IPL teams ranked in order of most points accumulated in first 10 seasons

#4 Chennai Super Kings: 140 points, 8 seasons

When it comes to consistency, the Chennai Super Kings are second to none in the Indian Premier League. The MS Dhoni-led franchise have played two seasons less than the teams at the top of this list, but are still just one point behind the third-placed team and eight points below the second-placed.

That, in itself, is enough to assert the supremacy of this side. The average number of points earned by CSK stands at a staggering figure of 17.5 per season. It explains why they have made it to the playoff stage in every season they have participated in.

Of those eight times, the Men in Yellow advanced to the final on five occasions and were crowned champions in back-to-back seasons in 2010 and 2011. It would be interesting to see if the franchise can live up to the high standard it has set for itself, as it returns to the fray after a hiatus of two years.
