The Indian Premier League (IPL) stands as the most fiercely contested T20 league globally, bringing together the finest cricketers from all corners of the world. To secure the coveted IPL trophy, franchises must perform consistently over a grueling two-month period, spanning 16-17 matches. A captain’s role is pivotal in this journey, requiring them to build a winning combination and lead their team to play at their peak performance.
The blueprint for success in the IPL has been mastered by the Mumbai Indians (MI) and the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), the two most successful franchises in the league’s history. Mumbai Indians have clinched the title five times under the astute leadership of Rohit Sharma, while Chennai Super Kings have matched this feat with five titles under the legendary MS Dhoni.
The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are the third most successful franchise, winning the trophy twice in 2012 and 2014 with Gautam Gambhir at the helm. The Hyderabad-based franchise has also tasted success twice: first as Deccan Chargers in 2009 under Adam Gilchrist, and later as Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2016, led by David Warner.
Shane Warne made history by becoming the first captain to win an IPL title during the inaugural season in 2008, leading the Rajasthan Royals. Similarly, the Gujarat Titans captured the trophy in their debut season in 2022 under the leadership of Hardik Pandya. As we look forward to another exciting IPL season, let’s revisit the IPL winners list from 2008 to 2024.
