Former Team India opener Gautam Gambhir is surely one of the most successful captains in the cash-rich Indian Premier League (IPL) as under his leadership Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have emerged champions twice in 2012 and 2014. Under the southpaw’s stewardship, KKR also finished second in the Champions League T20.

While the former aggressive batsman has been appointed as the mentor of newbie team Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2022, KL Rahul will lead the side. The former India international has recently revealed that Rohit is undoubtedly the best ever player in IPL history. Gambhir said that Rohit has given him sleepless nights. He labelled the current Indian captain as the most successful player in the history of the league.

“Neither Chris Gayle nor AB de Villiers nor anyone else, Rohit is the only player who gave me sleepless nights during my playing days in IPL. There is no more successful cricketer in the history of IPL than Rohit Sharma as captain,” said the Lucknow Super Giants mentor.

Rohit has led the Mumbai Indians to four IPL titles, including successive triumphs in 2019 and 2020. The Mumbai side lead the standings with as many as five trophies, one more than defending champions Chennai Super Kings.
