IPL Teams That Have Never Won a Trophy

IPL is one of the most popular cricket leagues in the world. Every season, teams put in their best effort to win the coveted trophy. However, there are still some teams that have never become champions. Let’s take a look at which IPL teams have never won and how they have performed over the years.

1. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) – Only Hopes, No Trophy!

RCB is one of the most talked-about teams in IPL history. Despite having legendary players like Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers, the team has never won the title. They reached the finals in 2009, 2011, and 2016, but failed to lift the trophy.

Why has RCB never won an IPL title? – This is a question every fan asks. Despite having a strong squad, issues like poor death bowling or underperforming in crunch finals might be the reason for their title drought.

2. Punjab Kings (PBKS) – One Final, No Victory!

Punjab Kings, formerly known as Kings XI Punjab, have been a part of the IPL since 2008. Their best season was in 2014, where they made it to the final but lost to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Since then, they haven’t come close to the trophy again.

Can Punjab Kings win IPL 2025? – The team brings in new squads and fresh hopes every year. Will 2025 be the lucky year for Punjab?

3. Delhi Capitals (DC) – New Name, Same Trophy-less Fate!

Previously known as Delhi Daredevils, the team has improved significantly after being renamed Delhi Capitals. They reached the final in 2020 but were defeated by Mumbai Indians (MI).
