IPL career:
Murali plays for IPL franchise from his home town Chennai Super Kings. He was one of the key performers for Chennai in the 3rd edition of IPL in 2010 when Chennai were crowned champions. His first century for Chennai Super Kings was in the third season of the IPL where he scored 127 runs of 56 balls against the Rajasthan Royals. He was awarded the Man of the Match. In the same year, Vijay had prolific run in the Champions League T20 held in South Africa. Vijay was the top scorer of the tournament with 294 runs. He was instrumental in Chennai winning the cup.

In the fourth season of IPL, he was retained by the Chennai Super Kingslater he was awarded the man of the match in finals and helped Chennai Super Kings to win the IPL trophy for the second time in a row. He scored 95 of 52 balls with 4 fours and 6 sixes with a blistering strike rate of 183.

In the beginning of IPL 2012, Vijay struggled to return to form. His first few matches was a disaster for Chennai, as he was out of form yet he was the opening batsmen for Chennai Super Kings. But he had his luck returned to him when he scored 113 of just 59 balls. With the century he became the only Indian cricketer to have scored two centuries in the history of DLF IPL.

With massive buys of Brendon McCullum and Dwayne Smith in the IPL 2014 the Chennai Super Kings will not the feel the agony of letting Murali Vijay and Michael Hussey slip out of their roster. In the IPL 2014 Auction held in February, he was sold to Delhi Daredevils for Rs 5 Crores.

Indian Premier League 2014:
Murali Vijay is the first player to go under the hammer. His base price is Rs. 2 crore and as expected Chennai Super Kings are the first to bid for him.

Delhi Daredevils with 2.20 followed by CSK for 2.40 and Mumbai up it to 2.80.

Delhi back in the race as they raise it to Rs. 3 crore.

Sunrisers Hyderabad make a fresh bid of 3.20 cr but Delhi are not giving up as the bid goes up to 5 cr in their favour.

And Delhi have successfully bought the first player at the 2014 IPL Auction, grabbing Murali Vijay for 5 crore.
