All-time IPL playing XI with players with zero IPL titles
In a couple of days' time, the Indian Premier League will get underway for the 11th time and the teams are already in full swing in getting ready to win the elusive title.
As we discuss winning the IPL title, Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma is the only player to have won the tournament four times while the likes of Harbhajan Singh, Ambati Rayudu, Yusuf Pathan, Vinay Kumar, Lasith Malinga etc. have won the title thrice.
Many players have managed to get their hands on the trophy while there are some who are yet to win the IPL tournament. Let us take a look at a playing XI with players with zero IPL trophies.
Note:
1. Players, who were a part of at least five seasons, are considered here.
#1 Chris Gayle
Chris Gayle, who has been a part of the IPL since the second season, has instilled fear in the opposition bowlers by smashing them out of the park on a regular basis.
But, the Jamaican does not know what it feels to lift the IPL trophy as he was never a part of the IPL-winning team.
After starting off with Kolkata Knight Riders, Gayle was released from the franchise just when the Men in Purple became the force to reckon with and joined Royal Challengers Bangalore, with whom he has spent seven years.
In the nine years, the left-hander has scored 3626 runs in 100 innings at an average of over 41 and a strike-rate of 151.20 with the help of 265 sixes, the most by anyone. In spite of all these, he does not have the trophy that matters.
