#3 Jaipur Pink Panthers (13 matches)

Two-time champions Jaipur Pink Panthers had their backs against the wall at the start of Season 10. The defending champions managed just one win in their first four outings, raising questions about their form. But champions don’t give up, and the Sunil Kumar-led side scripted an incredible turnaround, embarking on a 13-match unbeaten streak.

This streak, featuring 11 wins and two ties, began with a decisive win over Patna Pirates in their fifth match. Ironically, the same Patna Pirates ended Jaipur’s run 13 matches later. The Panthers rode this wave of momentum to secure a second-place finish in the standings, but their journey ended in the semi-finals.

#2 Puneri Paltan (14 matches)

After coming agonizingly close to glory in Season 9, Puneri Paltan had a point to prove. And prove it they did. Fueled by their heartbreak against Jaipur Pink Panthers in the previous final, Pune came roaring back in Season 10 with a vengeance.

Their campaign started strong, with 10 wins in their first 12 matches. But they didn’t stop there. Pune then went on to stay undefeated for an astonishing 12 games in that season, including their maiden title win in the final against Haryana Steelers.

The streak spilled over into Season 11, where they won their first two matches to stay unbeaten for 14 consecutive games across both seasons. However, Tamil Thalaivas ended their run in an intense encounter. Still, Puneri Paltan’s dominance during that period will go down as one of the most remarkable chapters in PKL history.

#1 Dabang Delhi K.C. (15 matches)

At the top of the list is Dabang Delhi K.C., with a 15-match unbeaten streak. The PKL 8 champions faced a nightmare start in Season 11, losing five of their first seven games. Critics wrote them off, but the team had other plans.

Led by the mercurial Ashu Malik and the ever-reliable Naveen Kumar, Delhi found their rhythm and went on a rampage. Their 15-match unbeaten streak included 11 wins and four ties, a stretch that saw them claw their way up the standings to finish second.

However, their fairy tale came to a heart-wrenching end. In the semi-finals, Patna Pirates delivered a 32-28 blow that not only ended Delhi’s streak but also dashed their title hopes. It was a bitter end, but their run will forever be remembered in the PKL history books.
