5 players who have won the IPL trophy in least appearances
These players were lucky enough and the credit goes to their hard work as well as they managed to lay their hands on the trophy.
4) Jagadeesha Suchith – 15 games
Mumbai Indians may have won their maiden championship in 2013, but it was not until IPL 2015 when the team really came into its own. It was the season when the Rohit Sharma-led side started dominating the proceedings in the league. They became one of the most feared sides in the tournament. And it is also evident from that year’s final, where they beat a team like CSK by 41 runs to clinch their second IPL title.
Interestingly, Mumbai also unearthed a couple of domestic talents like Hardik Pandya and Jagadeesha Suchith in that season. Talking about the latter, he became the team’s second lead spinner behind Harbhajan Singh. Though he didn’t set the stage on fire, he played his part to perfection. He complimented Harbhajan in the middle-overs with his tight spells.
Eventually, the Karnataka cricketer went on to feature in 13 games. In that, he scalped ten wickets at a decent economy rate of 8.6. All in all, it was an impressive performance from the then 21-year old. More importantly, he also lifted the IPL trophy at such a young age that many only dream of. With that being said, it has been tough for the off-spinner since then as he just played two games over the last 5 seasons.
