Statement 1 is correct: As of the 2023 IPL season (the last completed season before the question might have been set), two teams, Mumbai Indians (MI) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK), had won the tournament five times each. Statement 2 is correct: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have been runners-up in the IPL final on five occasions: 2008, 2012, 2013, 2015, and 2019. Statement 3 is incorrect: The IPL final has been played outside India on two occasions: 2009 (South Africa) and 2020 (UAE). The 2014 season had initial matches and playoffs in the UAE, but the final was held in Bengaluru, India. Thus, the final was played abroad only twice.

The IPL has seen multiple winners, with Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings being the most successful teams historically in terms of title wins (5 each, up to 2023). IPL finals have rarely been held outside India.

The IPL started in 2008. The 2009 season was entirely shifted to South Africa due to general elections in India. The 2014 season’s first phase was held in the UAE for similar reasons, but the final was in India. The 2020 season was held entirely in the UAE due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the final.
