#2 IPL 2014 – shifted from India to the UAE

Kolkata Knight Riders won the first of their two titles that year

The first leg of the seventh edition of the IPL was shifted from India to the United Arab Emirates. 20 matches were played in three stadiums: Sheikh Zayed Stadium- Abu Dhabi, Sharjah CA Stadium, Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

A few games had to be shifted due to the general elections in India which were held from April 7 to May 12. That year, the league featured eight teams instead of nine, since the Pune Warriors withdrew themselves.

Kolkata Knight Riders won the first of their two titles that year.
