Teams with highest win percentage in Indian T20 League

The wait for the schedule of the upcoming 15th season is finally over. The first match will be played between last year's finalists Kolkata and Chennai on March 26. This year, the ITL will be much different from what the fans are generally used to. Ten teams will play in the upcoming season just like it happened in 2011. The new teams inducted into the cash-rich league are Lucknow and Gujarat.

Another change in the tournament will be the change in format. The teams have been divided into two groups.  Teams in the same group will play twice against each other, and also against the team in same row of the second group, and once against four teams from another group.

Meanwhile, in this listicle, we will discuss the top five teams with a highest win percentages in the last 14 years of the league.
