Rating the 10 best captains in IPL history
A few have excelled in their roles and performed extremely well.
7. Sachin Tendulkar – 7/10
In the first edition of the IPL, Sachin Tendulkar was injured in the early parts of the tournament. Shaun Pollock and Harbhajan Singh led the team in his absence. He came back at a critical juncture and the team won three games in a row. However, they succumbed to pressure towards the end of the tournament leading to a huge disappointment.
In 2009, Sachin Tendulkar couldn’t really inspire his troops as they exited the tournament in the league stages itself. However, in 2010, he was at his best with the bat and led them from the front. The team did exceptionally well to reach the finals but lost to the Chennai Super Kings.
Mumbai reached the playoffs in 2011 but couldn’t get the trophy once again. It was at this point in time when Sachin Tendulkar decided to step down. However, he has got a pretty solid record as the leader of the side with 30 wins in 51 games.
