Teams with total number of nominations:

Chennai - 3

Jaipur - 1
Mumbai - 1
Hyderabad and Delhi have no nominations. But what's surprising is, Bangalore with the maximum nominations i.e. 5 didn't do well in IPL. If Nathan Braken had played in the IPL then this number would've been 6. It may not be surprising for some because 3 of its nomination are in 'Test Player of the Year' category!
Eventual champions Jaipur have 1 nomination in 'Cricketer of the Year' while runners-up Chennai have 3 nominations in more Twenty20 relevent categories 'Twenty20 International Performance of the Year' and 'Emerging Player of the Year'.
Update: Bangalore wins 2 awards with Chanderpaul winning the top honor with the "Cricketer of the Year" award while Steyn got "Test Player of the Year" award. Dhoni from Chennai team wins the "ODI Player of the Year". Yuvraj from the Mohali team wins "Twenty20 International Performance of the Year" award.
