IPL 2019: Top 5 teams with the highest single-season NRR in the tournament's history

#3 Kings XI Punjab in 2014: +0.968

The Punjab side literally dominated every opposition in 2014 edition

Kings XI Punjab had one of the most memorable outings during the 2014 edition of IPL. The Punjab side dominated every opposition in the tournament, and their NRR of +0.968 is a testament to the same.

No team had enjoyed success of this stature since the Rajasthan Royals in the inaugural edition of the IPL. 11 wins in a single edition of IPL in the group stages is the highest for any team; Punjab and Rajasthan are the only teams to have achieved this feat in the 12-year-old tournament.

Unfortunately, the dream run ended for Punjab in the final against the Kolkata Knight Riders. Despite scoring 199 in the final, the Kings suffered defeat as Manish Pandey single-handedly won the game for the Knight Riders.

Glenn Maxwell from Punjab was adjudged as the “Most Valuable Player” of the season.

Note: Delhi Daredevils (2012), Chennai Super Kings (2013) and the Mumbai Indians (2013) recorded 11 wins in the tournament, but those two editions saw each team playing a total of 16 games in the Group Stages.
