IPL 2023: Ranking top 10 captains

The blockbuster 2023 edition of the IPL concluded with the nail-biting final contest between Gujarat Titans (GT) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Narendra Modi Stadium. On D-Day, Ravindra Jadeja showcased nerves of steel and pulled off a five-wicket victory for Super Kings on the last two deliveries of the tournament

Following the heartbreaking defeat, Hardik congratulated CSK for their win and also praised Dhoni for his incredible captaincy. At the end of the tournament, Dhoni got his hands on the distinguished trophy but during the competition, there were ten other captains who got a lot of attention for their captaincy performances. Among skippers, some looked confident while a few failed to deliver desired results to their teams.

Discussing more, here are the Ranking of all captains in IPL 2023   

10. Aiden Markram {SRH} - 4/10

After witnessing Aiden Markram’s solid leadership skills for their SA20 League team, Sunrisers Eastern Cape, the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) team management handed the captaincy mantle to Protea in the IPL. Ahead of the tournament, SRH fans were expecting the veteran to clinch the title after seven years.

In the initial games, the Protea looked positive as he succeeded in bagging a couple of games with his captaincy. However, things started going wrong for him as he consistently struggled to reinforce the team with his batting. His flop shows with the bat affected the team negatively and at the end of the season, Sunrisers ended up at the bottom of the table.

Talking about his overall batting performance, the 28-year-old concluded his season, scoring 248 runs with just one fifty in 13 matches, at an underwhelming strike rate of 125.88. Noting his vast experience and talent, SRH must have expected him to shine with his bat and captaincy but these numbers clearly prove that the veteran delivered below-par performances.
