Teams That Have Been in the IPL Since 2008 But Never Clinched the Title
Since its launch in 2008, cricket fans have experienced a wide range of emotions related to the Indian Premier League (IPL). While some teams have never tasted final glory, others have been consistent contenders without ever experiencing the thrill of winning the prized cup. In this piece, we explore the stories of three IPL teams who have been around continuously since 2008 yet have never won the title.
1. Delhi Capitals
Having participated in every IPL season, the Delhi Capitals—formerly the Delhi Daredevils—have missed out on championship triumph. The Delhi-based team has struggled to turn promise into victories despite building strong squads over the years and developing young players.
The Capitals have shown glimpses of excellence by making it to the playoffs several times. But the illusive title has continued to elude him. The day the Capitals break the curse and win the IPL is something that fans look forward to.
2. Punjab King
Another IPL team with a rich history is Kings XI Punjab, now known as Punjab Kings, but they haven’t won any championship trophies. Punjab Kings, renowned for their potent batting lineup that has both established and up-and-coming players, have been a formidable competitor in the competition.
The squad finished as runners-up in the 2014 season, bringing them dangerously close to victory. Even with players putting on regularly exciting performances, Kings XI Punjab has struggled to keep up their winning momentum throughout the competition. Supporters are still rallying around the club in the hopes that the upcoming season will bring the much-anticipated IPL victory.

3. Royal Challengers Bangalore
The most popular cricket team in the world, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), is headed by dynamic captains and features some of the biggest stars in the sport. But for RCB, the IPL championship has remained elusive, which has made their journey in the league more difficult.
RCB, who is well-known for their fervent fan base and exciting brand of cricket, has made it to the final three times (in 2009, 2011 and 2016), but has lost each time. Even with legendary performances from players like AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli, the squad has had difficulty winning the championship.
