Here’s all you need to know about all the IPL Winners to date…
“Where Talent Meets Opportunity.” If you take a close look at the trophy presented to the Indian Premier League winners, you will find the above quote inscribed on it.
And quite rightly so. After all, since its inception in 2008, IPL has given the opportunity to several talents which would otherwise have been lost in the crowd. A break in the Indian national team is not so easy. A country of a billion people represented by the best 11 players!
The format of IPL, which stressed on more Indian players in the team, has been a significant impact in recognising the talents. Although performance in domestic circuits is a major criterion for selection in the national squad, IPL has provided opportunities to many youngsters like Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya to earn a slot in the Indian national team.
With the next season of the league’s 2020 edition barely a few months away, here’s a look at the champions from all editions of IPL:
