Captaining a team in the Indian T20 League is a different art altogether. Here, the biggest challenge for a skipper is to lead a team that is with different set of players, as teams go through a transition in the auction. Also, they don’t get enough time to understand the lesser-known players like they do in the national teams.
However, some captains have managed to do so and have become one of the most successful skippers in the cash-rich league. In this listicle, we will discuss the five captains with the most wins in the tournament.
