Former Chennai Super Kings skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni credited Mumbai Indians for winning the most number of games in the history of the IPL. A recent interview of Dhoni has been doing rounds on social media, where the five-time IPL winning captain was heard talking about several aspects. One of them is the team that won the most number of games in the T20 tournament. In the interview, Dhoni asks students the name of the team that has recorded the most victories.

While one of the students replied by saying that he is a CSK fan, so he would name them, the legendary cricketer responded by stating that even he didn’t know the answer of the question. He then went on to say that Mumbai Indians is the team which has the maximum number of victories to their name. The 44-year-old added, “Mumbai Indians have won the most number of IPL games.”

However, he went on to defend his franchise and said, “We were out for two years, which means we have played 28 games less than them. But, credit goes to Mumbai Indians for winning the most IPL games.” Notably, the Yellow Army served a two-year ban in 2016-17 alongside Rajasthan Royals due to the key officials’ involvement in 2013 IPL betting and spot-fixing case. However, they made a sound comeback in the 2018 season and won their third IPL trophy.

Coming back to the games won by both teams, the Mumbai Indians have won 152 of their 281 games played in the history of the tournament. On the other hand, the Chennai Super Kings emerged victorious in 143 of their 257 games thus far.
