It’s true that a lot of players keep changing the IPL franchise, with fresh auctions and new teams coming into the mix. However, despite this, there are some players who have sworn allegiance to one side since the start of the game.
In the same vein, here are the top five players who have stuck to the same franchise since the start of their IPL journey.
5. Prithvi Shaw
The star cricketer joined the Delhi Capitals camp back in the 2018 mega-auction and has been playing for the same franchise. Notably, the star opening batter has played 72 matches for DC Camp and amassed 1737 runs in IPL history, with a top score of 99 in his career. However, the great batter is still yet to make his impression enough to get a place in the national squad.
4. Jasprit Bumrah
The great bowler joined the Mumbai Indians camp back in 2013 and has been associated with the same franchise, winning five IPL titles under Rohit Sharma’s leadership. Notably, the right-arm pacer sets to be the most lethal bowler in IPL history, having the most wickets to his name for the Mumbai Indians.
3. Sunil Narine
The star cricketer has been associated with KKR since 2012 and is now the highest wicket-taker for the franchise. Notably, the great bowler has played a very crucial role in taking KKR to the epitome of the level owing to his magnificent skills and talents. He also won the IPL’s Most Valuable Player award twice in his career.
2. Virat Kohli
The Indian superstar Virat Kohli joined RCB back in 2008 and is the only player in the franchise to stick there. Notably, Virat Kohli’s fans have shown the most loyalty in IPL history. The former RCB skipper also holds the record for scoring the most runs in the IPL 2016 edition, which guided his side to the final game.
1. Sachin Tendulkar
Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar places himself in the top spot, having been associated with the Mumbai Indians since the start, and later, after leaving the side, he joined as the mentor. Notably, the legendary cricketer has played 78 IPL matches for the Mumbai Indians in six editions and won the Orange Cap in 2010 after having 618 runs to his name.
