The last five editions have only one event in common. There is only one team that has reached all the final. There is only one team that has won the IPL twice, consecutively. Chennai Super Kings are the real King, who asserted their supremacy even outside by winning the CLT20. They won in 2011, but were undone in 2012 edition by rampaging KKR. The hurt Kings are ready to hunt and would be the biggest challenge for all teams for the sixth consecutive edition. Check their record of last 6 IPLs, their current squad and the bidding rate for every player in 2014.
