Till now 3 foreign captains have won the IPL title, will this time also the miracle happen?
IPL 2024 Final: Only a few days are left to get the champion of IPL 2024. The final match will be played on 26 May at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. For this, KKR captained by Shreyas Iyer has confirmed its place, but who will be in front of them will be decided today. When SRH and RR teams clash in the second qualifier today, the goal will be only one, to reach the final. Meanwhile, let us tell you an interesting thing. In the 16-year history of IPL so far, it has happened only 3 times when a foreign captain has won the title. Will the same thing happen this time too, this in itself is the biggest question today.
In 2008, Rajasthan Royals won the title under the captaincy of Shane Warne
The first season of the Indian Premier League was played in the year 2008. That year, Australian legend Shane Warne won the title as the captain of Rajasthan Royals. He won the trophy by defeating Chennai Super Kings captained by MS Dhoni. After this, something similar happened in the year 2009. That year, Deccan Chargers captained by Adam Gilchrist and RCB captained by Anil Kumble reached the finals. There, Deccan Chargers defeated RCB and won the title. That is, for two back to back years, the IPL was dominated by a foreign captain. After this, in the year 2010, CSK won the IPL title under the captaincy of MS Dhoni. That year the team defeated Mumbai Indians. That is, for the first time an Indian captain won the IPL.
David Warner won the title for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the year 2018
After this, no foreign captain could win the IPL for many years. It seemed that the era of foreign captains was over. But the same thing happened again in the year 2018. This time the Sunrisers Hyderabad team captained by David Warner reached the final. In front of them was RCB captained by Virat Kohli. This time David Warner captured the title. He became the third captain to win the IPL title. The special thing you must have noticed is that apart from Indian captains, all the foreign captains who won the IPL title were from Australia. However, this has not happened again since the year 2018.
Pat Cummins has a chance again
Now the Sunrisers Hyderabad team led by Pat Cummins has reached this point. The team finished second in the points table. Even though the team lost the first qualifier to KKR, it will still get a chance to play in the second qualifier today. He has a chance to become the fourth foreign captain to win the IPL. But for this it will be necessary that the team wins today’s match and enters the final and then defeats KKR in the final as well. It will be interesting to see whether this will happen or we will have to wait for a few more years.
