IPL is considered by many as the grandest T20 league in the world, and rightly so, because it features the best cricketers on the planet. The salaries in the IPL is the highest, the brand value of the Indian Premier League franchises is at sky-high levels, and the competition level is top-notch as well.
Almost all players have the dream of becoming a part of the Indian Premier League one day in their careers. The reason behind it is not just the money involved but also the amount of exposure they get by sharing the dressing room with the greats of the game and competing with the world’s best players.
Many players’ career graphs have sky-rocketed in recent years thanks to the league. One of the toughest things to do in this league is to perform consistently. It is quite difficult for any team to dominate all the opponents. Winning one trophy in a year is a challenging task, but here’s a list of the two franchises who have won a couple of trophies in the same calendar year.
1. Mumbai Indians – IPL 2013 and CLT20 2013
Mumbai Indians failed to make an impact in the first two seasons of the Indian Premier League, but they made it to their first final in 2010. Soon after, their performance improved as they consistently finished in the upper half of the points table.
The championship drought for MI ended at Champions League T20 in 2011. They then won their first Indian Premier League title in 2013, followed by another Champions League T20 win in the same year.
2. Chennai Super Kings – 2010
Chennai Super Kings won their first IPL title in the year 2010. They also won their maiden CLT20 crown in the same year. Like MI, CSK won the CLT20 tournament twice, with their second triumph coming in the 2014 edition of the league.
