Why IPL Teams Fail in Champions League T20 ?

This is the second Champions League Twenty20 tournament (officially it should be third as the first edition was canceled due to Mumbai attack) and so far the performance of Indian Premier League teams are very disappointing in both tournaments. IPL teams enjoy elusive benefits in Champions League as it's originated by BCCI. They have first right to keep any player in their squad even another team that contracted these players is also qualified for the tournament. Twenty20 specialists like, Cameron White, Ross Taylor, Kevin Pollard all play for IPL teams because of that rule. Cameron White who is the regular captain of Victoria team has to play against his own team due to this rule. And IPL is the only domestic league that sends three teams to the Champions League. South Africa and Australia send two each (England also qualified to send two teams, though they decided not to) and all other countries send one each.

With these all favorable rules, IPL teams should dominate Champions League. But the reality is different. In last years edition none of the IPL teams made in to the knock out stage. Two Australian teams, a South African team and a West Indies team were in the semi finals. Even though only seven matches played so far in this years tournament, one of the IPL team Mumbai Indians is in the verge of elimination. They were defeated by runners up of Australian domestic league and South African domestic league. Chennai Super Kings and Bangalore Royal Challengers did well so far, but it's too early to make predictions. But with their performance, IPL teams can still keep some hope this year unlike last year.
