The IPL's only one-season team. Kochi joined in 2011 under Mahela Jayawardene, with Brendon McCullum, Brad Hodge and a young Ravindra Jadeja in orange, and they were nobody's easybeats: six wins from fourteen, including Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede, Chennai in Kochi and Kolkata twice. They finished 8th of 10, and before the next season began the BCCI terminated the franchise over an unpaid bank guarantee. Kerala has not had an IPL team since.

Milestones

2011 · Only season: 6 wins from 14, beating MI, CSK and KKR (twice) among them; terminated before the 2012 season.
