#4 Most times playing an IPL final

The Chennai-based franchise has managed to build a habit of playing IPL finals in almost all the seasons that they have featured in.
Seven finals in nine season easily means they hold the record for playing most IPL finals in the tournament's history. However, they have lost in four of those finals and it is a record that they would like to amend upon.
They missed out only in 2009 and 2014 seasons, despite making the top 4. If they win IPL 2019, the yellow army would become the first team to win the IPL four times in the tournament's history.
They managed to defend the title in the 2011 season and would like to repeat the same feat again in the upcoming season. Even during the auctions, they kept the core team which means people won't be surprised if they reach the finals again.
