Rating Chennai Super Kings' performance in each IPL from 2008-18

2013, Runners-Up

CSK lost the finals of Indian Premier League 2013 against Mumbai Indians.

Chennai Super Kings have remained as the most successful team in the history of IPL so far. Out of the total nine seasons played by them, there isn’t a single season during which CSK was eliminated in the group stage itself.

In all the seasons, the MS Dhoni-led CSK has qualified for the playoff which is a matter of pride for the franchise.

In the 2013 season as well, Chennai maintained their unmatched consistency and qualified for the playoffs by finishing at the top of the points table with 11 wins in the league stage.

They defeated Mumbai Indians in the 1st Qualifier to reach the final of the tournament where they met the Mumbai side once again.

Unfortunately, CSK lost the finals of 2013 IPL to Mumbai Indians by 33 runs as Kieron Pollard emerged as a hero for the Mumbai side.

Rating- 8.5/10
