While MI won all its titles under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, Chennai did so under MS Dhoni. RR won their only title under Shane Warne and Hardik Pandya won the trophy for the Titans. Gautam Gambhir was the captain of KKR during their both title-winning seasons. He is now the mentor of the team. Deccan Chargers won their only trophy under Adam Gilchrist's captaincy while Hyderabad lifted the cup with David Warner as their captain. Thus only Indian and Australian players have won the IPL trophy as captains.
