#5 Return of the Chennai Super Kings and the Rajasthan Royals

Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals, the two franchises were suspended from the league for a period of 2 years and thus were not part of the previous two seasons. It was speculated that the two teams may have lost most of their fans after being involved in wrongdoings that led to their suspension. But the teams have already created a buzz among the fans even before the start of the tournament.

The craziness among Super Kings' fans is on such a high level that they are crowding the stadium even during the practice sessions. Chennai Super Kings have been one of the most successful teams in the IPL, having qualified for the playoffs every single season that they have participated.

With the return of the two teams, the IPL is going to be as entertaining as it used to be before the banning of the two teams and the tournament is sure to see skyrocketing TRPs this year.
