During the first player auctions for the inaugural IPL season,

conducted in January 2008, the Chennai team was able to buy a number of contemporary star cricketers such as Mahendra Singh Dhoni,

Matthew Hayden, Michael Hussey and Muttiah Muralitharan.

The Super Kings had a solid start to the tournament by winning their

first game against Kings XI Punjabscoring 240/5 which was the highest total of the tournament,

a record surpassed by themselves in 2010.

The Super Kings also won their next three games against Mumbai Indians,

Kolkata Knight Ridersand Royal Challengers Bangalore.

But their winning run in the tournament took a hit when their overseas stars Matthew Hayden, Michael Hussey and Jacob Oram had to leave for national duties.

Their departure immediately affected their performance as the Super Kings who had won their first four games lost their next three games.

The batting, although inconsistent, eventually adjusted to the losses of Hayden and Hussey with contributions from Mahendra Singh Dhoni,

Suresh Raina and Albie Morkel. The Super Kings despite having a roller-coaster ride in the second half managed to ensure a semi-final slot by beating the Deccan Chargers in their last league fixture.

 

The side had finished third at the league table with 16 points

. The Chennai Super Kings played their first semi-final against

the Kings XI Punjab whom they managed to defeat by 9 wickets, thus entering the final

, which they lost to Rajasthan Royals by three wickets off the last ball.

Kolkata Knight Riders (Bengali: কলকাতা নাইট রাইডার্স;

often abbreviated as KKR) is the franchise representing Kolkata in the Indian Premier League, a Twenty20 cricket tournament.

Till IPL3, the team was led by Sourav Ganguly and coached by Dav Whatmore. Sourav Ganguly was the team's Icon Player for the first three seasons.

The official theme of the team is Korbo, Lorbo,

Jeetbo Re (Bengali for We will do it, Fight for it, Win it) and the official colors are purple and gold. As per the recent study done by a UK based brand valuation company,

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are ranked as the second most valuable franchise brand at US$46 million.

Celebrity co-owner Shahrukh Khan’s hard-selling of the

KKR brand has counteracted the team’s poor on-field performance.

They are the only team to have never made the semi-finals.+
