Number Cruncher: All the IPL team stats you ever wanted to know

Cricket is all about numbers and the Indian Premier League has seen some phenomenal results over the course of six seasons. Some teams came and went — and some have stayed on despite controversy — but the cricket has certainly been entertaining. For the stats buff, the IPL is a gold-mine — it throws up amazing comebacks and sometimes equally one-sided games. A team in momentum can rack up great runs and then just perish after a series of defeats. All together, the IPL is manic, unpredictable and throws up a ton of stats. The seventh edition of the Indian Premier League starts today — below are the detailed team statistics: Result of finals 2008: Rajasthan Royals beat Chennai Super Kings by 3 wickets in Mumbai 2009: Deccan Chargers beat Royal Challengers Bangalore by 6 runs in Johannesburg 2010: Chennai Super Kings beat Mumbai Indians by 22 runs in Mumbai 2011: Chennai Super Kings beat Royal Challengers Bangalore by 58 runs in Chennai 2012: Kolkata Knight Riders beat Chennai Super Kings by 5 wickets in Chennai 2013: Mumbai Indians beat Chennai Super Kings by 23 runs in Kolkata                       Tied matches RR (150-6) v KKR (150-8) in Cape Town in 2009 KXIP (136-8) v CSK (136-7) in Chennai in 2010 RCB (130-8) v SRH (130-7) in Hyderabad in 2013 DD (152-5) v RCB (152-7) in Bangalore in 2013 [caption id=“attachment_1482849” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] Mumbai take on KKR in the first match of IPL 7.
