Bet on IPL Team Captain 2024 - All Team Captains List

In many sports, the captain is the most important player on the team. However, in cricket, a captain is the most important figure. Whether it’s team selection, strategy, or other aspects of the game, a captain’s word is often the final in cricket. That is why Indian Premier League teams are known by their captains.

You think of Chennai Super Kings, and you think of M.S. Dhoni. Earlier, Royal Challengers Bangalore reminded us of Virat Kohli. Rishabh Pant reminds us of Delhi Capitals, and Shubman Gill has added glamour to Gujarat Titans.

This page talks in detail about the captains of all IPL teams ever since the league came into being in 2008. Many young cricket fans may find it tough to believe that there was a time when Adam Gilchrist, Shane Warne, Sachin Tendulkar, and Anil Kumble were captains of IPL teams.

So, let’s see how IPL teams’ captains have changed over the years and then we will also talk about the most successful IPL captains. It will come in handy if you want to bet on the captain of the IPL-winning team.
