IPL: Top 5 rivalries in the history of the tournament

#1 Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings

The best two teams in IPL take up the top spot. Mumbai had a couple of off seasons earlier on, but ever since Rohit Sharma took over the captaincy in 2013, fortunes changed for the team. While on the other hand, Chennai Super Kings is by far the most consistent team. Also, CSK and MI have met each other the most number of times (24). These are the only two teams in the IPL who have faced each other thrice in finals of the tournament with Mumbai winning two of them.

CSK have the better head-to-head record against every IPL team except MI , who lead 13 to 11 in 24 meetings between the two teams. Having two of the most successful cricketers in CSK's MS Dhoni and MI's Sachin Tendulkar has enhanced the rivalry. They will play the inaugural match in this year's IPL.
