The Indian Premier League &#8211; IPL has been a stepping stone of the country&#8217;s cricket. Right from its inaugural edition, it has been consistently serving its purpose of entertaining the cricketing fraternity. Moreover, it has also stayed true to its model as it has carved out some cricketing gems in its journey. Not only it has improved the skillset of players but it has also developed the leadership qualities of these cricketers.

Among them, certain players got the opportunity to lead their respective IPL teams in the early years of their professional careers. It is mostly due to an injury to their regular skipper or a change of plans of the franchise midway through a disastrous campaign. Whatever may be the reason these cricketers have joined an elite panel by becoming the youngest leaders of the league history.

Here is the list of 5 youngest captains of IPL history

At the start of this decade if anybody would have said that an Indian cricketer will successfully fill in Sachin Tendulkar&#8217;s boots he would be considered a laughing stock. However, things have panned out quite differently as Virat Kohli has done the impossible with his batting supremacy. Not only he is breaking Sachin&#8217;s records but he is doing it like a child&#8217;s play. He has already gathered more than 20000 international runs.

Apart from his batting credentials, his leadership qualities have also taken the country&#8217;s cricket to the next level. Right from his teenage days where he led the U19 team to the glory, many cricketing pundits have termed him a captaincy material. That&#8217;s why even the Royal Challengers Bangalore handed him the charges as early as in 2011.

When Daniel Vettori injured himself midway through the 2011 edition, Kohli led the side for 3 games. The team won 2 games under him. In the process, he also became the youngest captain in IPL history. Though he didn&#8217;t excel as a batsman in his first stay as the skipper of the team there were early signs that he will be the future of the RCB franchise.

If an individual gets addressed in the same phrase as Don Bradman then he must be a special cricketer. Yes the Bradmanesque, Steve Smith is one of them who seems on a mission to create his own batting legacy. He has repeatedly headlined the front pages for his run-scoring abilities. Currently, his Test average rests at 65 which gives an idea of his dominance in world cricket.

Smith had his share of struggles in the initial phase of his career as he couldn&#8217;t weave his magic as the premier spinner of the Kangaroos. Thereafter he worked on his batting skills and since then he hasn&#8217;t looked back. Now even in the IPL, he is considered one of the batting mainstays of the Rajasthan team. He has also led them efficiently in a couple of seasons.

However very few know that Smith has also marshaled the Pune Warriors team in a one-off game. In the 2012 IPL the regular skipper, Sourav Ganguly rested himself after the team&#8217;s 6 consecutive losses. So Smith was given the role for a change. Though the team didn&#8217;t win the game Steve showed the required composure under pressure at a very young age, a quality associated with a good skipper.

Who can forget the cameo played a young Indian left-hander in the quarter-final of 2011 World Cup. You guessed it right it is Suresh Raina who has been a great servant of the Indian cricket team. He was the first Indian to score a century in each format of the game. The southpaw has played more than 300 international games and has always contributed to the team in every possible way.

In his heydays, Raina administered the middle-order duties of the country for a good amount of time. On top of that, he has also donned the skipper tag of the Blue team in a handful of games. So it is evident that he has been considered an able leader. That&#8217;s why even the CSK franchise has invariably held him in high regard.

He was also assigned the leadership duties in the 2010 edition when MS Dhoni suffered an elbow injury. Suresh guided the Yellow brigade in 3 games. It didn&#8217;t turn out to be a scripted fairytale for him as the team lost two of their ties under his captaincy. Still, it might be a memorable moment for the CSK fans as the Chinna Thala shouldered the responsibilities when Thala, Dhoni was not around his kingdom.

A couple of months ago when the Indian team completed their Caribbean sojourn their biggest positive emerged in the form of Shreyas Iyer. The youngster showed a lot of promise with his responsible batting in the middle-order. With each passing game, he seems India&#8217;s best bet for the future. His numbers also suggest the same as he has already stroked 4 half-centuries in 9 ODIs.

Since his debut in 2013, he has been leading the batting charts in the domestic circuit with his batting prowess. Such has been his rise that he has been made the vice-captain of his Ranji team, Mumbai. Besides Iyer has been heading the Delhi franchise in their last couple of seasons. Though at first, it looked a last-minute move it has paid rich dividends for the Capitals.

Under him, the team reached the playoffs in 2019 IPL. He has certainly changed the dynamics of the franchise as the team is playing an exciting brand of cricket. Moreover, the captaincy doesn&#8217;t seem to burden him as he piled on 463 runs in the 12th edition of the league. In the end, it can be said that he has learned the art of leadership in his early days.

Some cricketers never reach the desired heights in their career and the prime example is Dinesh Karthik&#8217;s cricketing journey. The keeper-batsman got his India Cap way back in 2004 but has never been able to establish himself in the senior team. Apart from him his last over heroics in the 2018 Nidahas Trophy final he has always flattered to deceive. It appears as if he has failed to break the code in the international arena.

The Tamil Nadu cricketer will be considered one of the underachievers of the Indian cricket. The same can be said about his IPL career as he has been part of 6 teams in 12 years. Even after bagging elusive contracts Karthik has not lived up to his billing in most of the seasons. Still, his domestic success has earned him multiple opportunities in the league.

Currently, he is guiding the young Kolkata team. Having said that Karthik has played the same role in the past for the Delhi franchise. In the 2010 IPL when Gautam Gambhir missed a few games owing to a hamstring injury, Karthik took over the duties from him for a brief period. He became their stand-in skipper for 4 games. His experience of leading his domestic team came to the fore as the team won 2 ties under his reign.

5 Youngest captains in IPL history

The Indian Premier League - IPL has been a stepping stone of the country's cricket. Right from its inaugural edition, it has been consistently serving
