• MI won IPL trophies when Dhoni, Warner, Smith, and Gambhir were active captains.
• CSK won IPL trophies when Gilchrist, Rohit, Gambhir, and Warner were active captains.
• RCB won their trophy when Hardik, Ruturaj, Axar, Rahane, Parag, and Pant were captains.
• The difference in competition level is obvious.
• Some teams conquered the toughest era.
• Others are benefiting from the weakest captaincy era in IPL history.
Shubman Gill PR Vaibhav Bhola, post 100+ tweets against Sanju Samson
But didn't post a single tweet when India won the 2026 World Cup.
Gill and his PR both are shameless.💯
Hardik Pandya in trophy winning seasons for Mumbai Indians:
Innings - 50
Runs - 1045
Average - 40
Strike Rate - 180
He gave his all for the team and when it was his turn the team decided to betray him.
Jadeja se bhi kam average k saath 5 saal test cricket khel gaye aap.
Ab to RR band kijiye. You were providing nothing in test cricket except shouting at young players like konstas and then getting thrashed by them.
The way people are acting shocked at Bhuvi hitting a clean six, you’d think a tailender just discovered batting...The guy is technically more compact than Rohit Sharma in red-ball cricket 😭
Unpopular Opinion :
Most 200+ scores conceded as captain in the 2026 IPL: Sarpanch Shreyas Iyer — 7 times.
Least 200+ scores conceded as captain in the 2026 IPL: Ajinkya Rahane — 2 times.
Meanwhile our failed captain Rahane is far better than Iyer
Shreyas Iyer in post match conference today
“I personally told miller and Ashutosh Sharma to hit those sixes and defeat us so that everyone can know that Gambhir was the reason of 2024 trophy.”
Conceded 209 vs CSK
Conceded 219 vs SRH
Conceded 200 vs LSG
Conceded 264 vs DC
Conceded 228 vs RR
Conceded 235 vs SRH
Conceded 216 vs DC
7/11 instances of 200+ under his captaincy
Captain to concede most 200+ scores in IPL 2026
→ Shreyas Iyer ❌
Captain to concede least 200+ scores in IPL 2026
→ Shubman Gill ✅
It's Clear that Gill is a better captain than Iyer,
But TOI journalists are doing overtime to prove, Iyer is some ponting lvl Captain
