Chennai vs Delhi in Indian T20 League
In the 12 years of its journey, the Indian Premier League has seen several ups and downs, several teams achieve amazing feats and then the same teams also suffer some disappointing lows. Amidst all of this excitement and the topsy turvy nature of Indian T20 Premier League and T20 cricket in general, the one team that has stood head and shoulders above any other in terms of consistency is Chennai. The MS Dhoni led team has found a way to qualify for the play-offs in every single season of their participation, and very few people would bet against the three-time champions repeating the feat once again in Indian T20 Premier League 2020.
On the other end of the consistency spectrum is a team that has qualified for the playoffs just four times since 2008 and failed to go beyond that stage even once. Delhi (formerly known as Delhi Daredevils) is probably one of the best examples of how not to build a team, with constant changes in the squad, the support staff and even ownership not letting the team settle into any rhythm.
