- Gujarat Lions:
P: 16; W: 9; L: 7
Another franchise that made its debut in the competition, the Gujarat Lions had a completely different campaign to the Pune Supergiants.
They were simply un-stoppable in the first half of the group stage winning matches at ease and have been one of the most entertaining outfit in the competition. The likes of Raina, Finch, McCullum and Bravo were exceptional throughout the season and took the team to the knock-out stages as they finished at the top of the table for the group stage.
However, they lost their qualifier to the Royal Challengers Bangalore and the eliminator to the Sunrisers Hyderabad to end their tremendous run in their debut campaign.
Rating: 8/10
