3 players who won both IPL and T20 World Cup trophies: The Indian cricket team, led by Rohit Sharma, won the T20 World Cup title at Kensington Oval in Barbados on June 29. The thrilling 7-run win in the final against South Africa ended an 11-year ICC trophy drought.

T20 World Cup and IPL are two of the most prestigious cricket tournaments in the world. It is the dream of every modern-era cricketer to lift both the IPL trophy and the T20 World Cup trophy once.

However, not all players have been able to achieve this feat. Even the greatest players had to make several attempts to lift the double trophy. For example, Rohit Sharma won the T20 World Cup in his first attempt but it took him two seasons to win the IPL. MS Dhoni won the T20 World Cup in his first attempt but waited three seasons to lift the IPL trophy.

However, today we will talk about those 3 cricketers who have won both these trophies in their very first attempt. That is, they won the IPL as well as the T20 World Cup trophy in their very first attempt.

Sanju Samson has achieved an incredible feat in cricket history. The Kerala cricketer won the IPL in his debut season in 2012 without playing a single match against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).

After that, 12 years later in the year 2024, Sanju Samson won the T20 World Cup trophy for Team India. The most special thing is that Samson was selected for the T20 World Cup tournament for the first time and he lifted the trophy in his very first tournament. However, he again got a chance to play in the warm-up match in this tournament.

Taking a wicket for India in Test, it is always special – Ravindra Jadeja After the end of the game, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja said that the last 15 minutes of the day did not go in the team’s favor and wrong decisions put the host team in a difficult situation. However, he expects other players to build small partnerships and take the lead in the first innings. Jadeja said, “As a batting unit, we need a collective effort. Didn’t think like this, miscommunication and misjudgment keep happening. We are 150 runs behind, small partnerships will be our game plan to take the team’s total above 230. He further said that it is always special to get a wicket for India in Tests. Felt good that I helped my team achieve success. It was not easy bowling in the heat, Washington bowled well and everyone played their part.

‘He was number 1 in our list’, Venky Mysore explains the reason for Shreyas Iyer’s release

KKR has retained Rinku Singh, Sunil Narine, Varun Chakravarthy, Andre Russell, Harshit Rana and Ramandeep Singh. Venky Mysore and Shreyas Iyer Kolkata Knight Riders have released their captain Shreyas Iyer ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction. Iyer joined KKR in 2022 for Rs 12.25 crore and was made the captain. It was under his captaincy that Kolkata won its third IPL trophy in 2024. After this, several rounds of meetings took place between Iyer and the franchise, but things did not work out. After Shreyas Iyer’s release, KKR CEO Venky Mysore said that he was the number-1 choice for retention, but they could not agree on a deal. He also said that every player has complete freedom to go to the auction, so that they can earn more money. Venky Mysore told RevSportz, it is a matter of mutual consent. This is not a unilateral right of any franchisee. Players have to consider and agree on various factors. Somewhere, that agreement does not happen due to various factors – be it money or any other reason. He was at number-1 in our list. He was the captain, so everything has to be built around leadership. In the end people have the freedom to take their own decisions – Venky Mysore He further said that, we had selected him in 2022 and unfortunately he got injured in 2023. But as soon as he arrived, he was handed back the captaincy. We made it clear that when you come back, this will be your team. He was an integral part of the team and did a wonderful job. I have a personal relationship with him, but at the end of the day people have the freedom to take their own decisions. They decide what is good for them and which direction to go. Market value is also an important aspect. Let us tell you that on Thursday, October 31, KKR announced the retained players, in which KKR has retained Rinku Singh, Sunil Narayan, Varun Chakraborty, Andre Russell, Harshit Rana and Ramandeep Singh for IPL 2025.
