IPL 2023: “If MS Dhoni Was The Captain, RCB Would Have Won 3 IPL Titles By Now”- Wasim Akram on RCB’s Trophy Drought

IPL 2023: It’s been more than 15 years since the start of the Indian Premier League. Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings are two of the most successful franchises in the history of the IPL. However, Royal Challengers Bangalore are also among the most popular teams in this tournament. It is because some of the biggest superstars of the game have been part of this team in IPL history. Apart from that, RCB holds some unbelievable records in the tournament.

But one main thing that is missing from the RCB cabinet is an IPL championship. This team has yet to get their hands on the IPL trophy despite playing three finals in this tournament. The likes of Chris Gayle, Ab de Villiers, Shane Watson, Kevin Pietersen, Yuvraj Singh, and some more big names have represented RCB in the IPL. But the wait to win the championship is getting longer and longer with every passing season.

On the other hand, the Mumbai Indians have won five titles under Rohit Sharma. But when it comes to consistency, no one comes close to MS Dhoni. He has led Chennai Super Kings to nine IPL finals, winning four of them. In 13 seasons, he has led CSK. The team has qualified for 11 playoff stage. Former Pakistani legend Wasim Akram has also pointed out that. In an interaction with Sportskeeda, he said that RCB would have won three titles by now if MS Dhoni was their captain. Akram said, 

He also praised MS Dhoni for his cool and composed approach. Akram said that MSD gives confidence to the players, which helps them perform well on the field. Furthermore, he said that when players see that the captain is cool, they become more confident, which helps the team in the end. The four-time champion is still among the top teams in the tournament. They are ranked second on the table with 13 points and are looking good for the next round.
