5. Chennai Super Kings
The Super Kings is one franchise that has quickly adapted in whatever conditions they have played in the IPL. When the league started in 2014 they started brilliantly in UAE and looked the team to beat. Under the leadership of MS Dhoni, CSK won 4 out of 5 matches they played outside India.
Eventually, their run was ended up KXIP in the playoffs at Mumbai. Virender Sehwag played a knock for the ages and CSK crashed out in the semis of IPL 2014.
