Delhi Capitals: The Unlucky Finalists
Delhi Capitals have this weird streak in WPL history. Every season, they finish at the top of the table, but when it comes to the final, they just can’t get the job done. Meg Lanning led them into all three finals, but the trophy always slipped through their fingers. Mumbai Indians knocked them out twice, in 2023 and 2025. RCB took the title from them in 2024.

Conclusion: Mumbai Indians Top the WPL Titles Chart
Mumbai Indians sit at the top of the WPL, grabbing two championships so far. They took home the very first trophy and then snatched it back in 2025. Royal Challengers Bengaluru are the only other team to have won the title. Delhi Capitals keep making it to the finals. They’ve done it three times now, but that first win keeps slipping away. The league keeps getting bigger and better, so fans have a lot to look forward to more thrills, more drama, and probably some fresh champions down the line.
