Indian T20 League: Hyderabad vs Bangalore – Stats you need to know

You talk about the most consistent teams in the history of the Indian T20 league and Hyderabad will be right up there with the best. The ‘Orange Army’ won the title in 2016 and had made it to the playoffs in every season since then. They reached the final in 2018 but couldn’t replicate their success of 2016.

Bangalore, on the other hand, reached the playoffs in 2020 after missing out on three consecutive seasons.
