Rajat Patidar to Anil Kumble: Star players to reach IPL final in debut captaincy season
Leading from the front in their very first season as captain, several star players have taken their teams all the way to the IPL final. From veterans like Anil Kumble to rising stars like Rajat Patidar, these debut skippers made an instant impact. For his debut season as captain, Rajat Patidar helped the Royal Challengers Bangalore become finalists of the IPL. The win over the Punjab Kings in Qualifier 1 allows them to progress to the championship match. In his first year as captain, Pat Cummins helped lead Sunrisers Hyderabad to the IPL 2024 final. The Sunrisers Hyderabad's campaign under Cummins ended in defeat in the final match against the Kolkata Knight Riders, but they still achieved much during his leadership. Hardik Pandya played a key role as the Gujarat Titans beat all odds to win the IPL in their very first season in 2022. The final match ended in Gujarat's victory over Rajasthan Royals in the final, making it a special debut for the team. Kane Williamson led the Sunrisers Hyderabad to the IPL 2018 final in his first season as captain which was an amazing achievement. Even though they lost to the Chennai Super Kings, their run to the finals showed how well Williamson led and how good the team played. Being captain for the first time, George Bailey guided the Kings XI Punjab (presently Punjab Kings) to the IPL title match in 2014. Even though they came up short against the Kolkata Knight Riders, reaching the final proved Bailey's leadership on the team. Rohit Sharma was named captain of Mumbai Indians in the 2013 IPL season after the team had started its campaign. With his leadership, the team achieved victory in the IPL Championship during the first season they had him as coach. The Mumbai Indians beat the Chennai Super Kings in a close final game. As captain for the first time, Dan Vettori helped the Royal Challengers Bangalore finish as runners-up at the 2011 IPL final. Their final game against Chennai Super Kings was not won, but their effort and determination throughout are worthy of notice. As captain of the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) for the first time in 2009, Anil Kumble guided his team to the final of the IPL. RCB was not able to win the championship, but playing under Kumble's direction was an important achievement for the team. In the 2008 IPL, MS Dhoni as captain guided Chennai Super Kings to the final by showing great skill. Even though they lost to the Rajasthan Royals, their success showed what great talent and teamwork they had.
