Who played most IPL matches?

Talking about an IPL match how many matches are there then it is very simple that in IPL there are 60 matches.

In the IPL, when any team wins then the team gets a point and if a team loses then it doesn’t get any points. Based on points, only the rank card of the IPL is prepared by which we get to know which leading and the position of other teams and players.

After this comes the qualifier round in which again a few teams play against each other and then the team which loses is removed from the IPL. Then comes the semifinal round in which four teams reach and the two teams who win in the semi-final go to the final round.
