The 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League is in the history books with the Gujarat Titans winning their first championship at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. GT defeated Rajasthan Royals in the final to win the title. Some big names like Rashid Khan, Hardik Pandya, Shubman Gill and David Miller were a part of the GT squad.
It was the first time that Gill, Miller, Rashid, Abhinav Manohar, Yash Dayal and some other players put their hands on the IPL title. Hardik Pandya won his fifth trophy, first as a captain. While Hardik’s record is well-known, not many fans may have an idea that the following five players have won more than 1 IPL trophy.
1. Vijay Shankar – 2 IPL trophies
Vijay Shankar is one of the top pace-bowling all-rounders in India. He has won trophies in domestic cricket, and he has now been a part of two IPL winning teams. He won the title with SRH in 2016 and GT in 2022.
2. Dominic Drakes – 2 IPL trophies
Dominic Drakes has achieved a rare feat in the IPL. He is yet to play a game in the league, but he has already won two trophies. He won with CSK last year and GT this year.
3. Krishnappa Gowtham – 2 trophies
All-rounder Krishnappa Gowtham won his first IPL title with MI in 2017 and then with CSK in 2021. Interestingly, he did not play a single match for either of the two teams.
4. R Sai Kishore – 2 trophies
R Sai Kishore won his first title with CSK in 2021 and finished as a champion again in 2022 with GT. Sai Kishore warmed the benches at CSK, but was the main spin bowler with Rashid Khan for GT.
5. Munaf Patel – 2 trophies
Munaf Patel won his first IPL title with RR in 2008 and second one with MI in 2013. The former Indian cricketer was present at the Narendra Modi Stadium last night for the big final.
