The Indian Premier League (IPL) is a high-stakes T20 league in the world. So maintaining consistency in the IPL is important for a team.
Once a team wins a match, it boosts the team’s confidence, and they carry it in further matches. IPL teams try to win consecutive matches to get good momentum.
However, it’s not always possible to win matches in consecutive streaks. Only a few teams have maintained their winning streak for more than six matches.
