Mumbai Indians have a win percentage of 56.7%, which clearly defines MI's consistency in winning matches. The team also owns the most number of titles which is five, and thus the team is one of the toughest teams in IPL history.
Royal Challengers Bangalore
Royal Challengers Bangalore ranks second in the list as the team has been blessed with some top-class batters, which is why RCB's record-breaking performances so far. The Challengers have smashed 1370 sixes in the tournament since the first season. The deadly trio of Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers and Chris Gayle contribute the most to this achievement by the team. The Universe Boss Chris Gayle himself has smashed 239 sixes for the franchise, which is the most number of sixes for the team by any player. The Protea batter AB de Villiers is just one six behind Gayle, with 238 sixes for RCB. While the former skipper Virat Kohli has smashed 218 maximums for the Challengers and holds the most runs for the team, 6624 runs.

Despite a strong team line-up and numerous six hitters in the squad, the team has yet to win their maiden IPL title. The team has quite an aa considerable win percentage of 48.65 in the IPL history.
Punjab Kings
One of the most underrated franchises in the league, Punjab Kings has smashed the third most number of sixes. The team has hit 1276 maximums from the inaugural season, which is an impressive start for the team. Punjab Kings has always been a formidable franchise with many big names in the team. The former captain KL Rahul has hit 110 sixes for the team, which is the most by any batsman for the team. Below him, the Caribbean monster Chris Gayle has smashed 92 sixes for Punjab in just 41 matches he played for the team. Even David Miller has scored 87 sixes for the team. The team has been an underrated team despite having great names like Chris Gayle, Yuvraj Singh, George Bailey, Hashim Amla and many more. Despite the strong squad and many power hitters, Punjab is yet to win their first trophy.
