IPL Ka Baap Kaun Hai – Mumbai Indians or Chennai Super Kings

In India and other parts of the world, cricket is loved, and this gave birth to the Indian Premier League in 2008. And in a matter of 10 years, the league became one of the top 10 sporting leagues in the world. And it has not happened in any other leagues all over the world. Hence the race in this two-to-three-month a year tournament is all about top sides meeting for the glory. IPL is one of the most loved league in which so many Teams and players of different states of India take parts, and the winning team and the best players know as the IPL Ka Baap (Father of IPL).

In this article we will know that IPL Ka Baap Kaun Hai, we will break it in two parts, in term of team and in term of player.

IPL Ka Baap Kaun Hai – in term of Team: Mumbai or Chennai

There are many teams in the IPL, but two do top the list and they are Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings. Because these are two sides who have five IPL titles each. So let’s know IPL ka Baap out of team MI CSK and KKR.

And not to forget that CSK did see a two-year ban from 2016 t0 2017 due to management being in spot-fixing. Despite this fact, they have reached playoffs 12 times, which is the most and the only team behind is MI with 10. And CSK has reached most IPL finals 10 in total and won 5. MI has also won five of six IPL finals. In fact, they have beaten CSK three times to win the World Cups. But in 2010, CSK won the IPL for the first time and they beat MI.  

So, both teams have pros and cons. CSK for being too consistent and MI for winning the equal number of titles and beating CSK in three of the overall five titles.

• MI IPL wins:  2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2020
• CSK IPL wins: 2010, 2011, 2018, 2021, 2023

Kolkata Knight Riders have overall three titles, and in terms of fanbase, they are as good as MI and CSK. But three and five holds the difference of two titles. Overall, CSK has been reaching the final, but MI has outdone them thrice in the final, so it is hard to pick one winner or IPL ka Baap of these two. But IPL Ka Baap Kaun Hai, in terms of the team, has two options and they are Chennai and Mumbai. But in the coming years, this can change if KKR wins five or more. But as of the next five years, it is between them. If anybody wins the sixth one, it can then clear the picture better. But still, fans pick CSK and MI mostly due to them winning the IPL 10 times combined, with five each. So, it’s quite difficult to decide “IPL ka Baap Kaun Hai”, but people says that Mumbai can be the Baap of IPL because of Mahendra Singh Dhoni but who loves Virat Kohli, then CSK is know as the IPL Ka Baap only because of Virat Kohli.

IPL Ka Baap Kaun Hai – In Terms of Players

Over the years, the Indian Premier League has seen many great players from home and abroad. The way the conditions of pitches are, it does favor batsmen more than the bowlers, so the list has most batsmen only. There are so many players who perform their best in IPL match, some of them are MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and AB de Villiers. These are the players which can be called as the IPL ka Baap.

Let’s know, IPL ka Baap Kaun Hai – out of these four star player Kohli, Dhoni, Rohit Sharma and AB de Villiers.

• Virat Kohli: It is because Virat has led Royal Challengers Bangalore for the longest and was close to winning the finals, with a team that has star players but lacks balance. He has scored huge runs and has adapted to the game. But not winning even one IPL title makes him a bit down in terms of calling as the biggest impact player.
• MS Dhoni: Dhoni is the son of Ranchi city, but his IPL home is in Chennai. He has been playing a crucial role since 2008 and has played most finals as a captain and won many too. And then he has scored mega runs and did great wicketkeeping too. This is something that makes him standout on the list of IPL Ka Baap Kaun Hai. It shows that Dhoni has one of the biggest takes to be called the Daddy of the IPL.
• Rohit Sharma: He is the star boy of IPL, who became a great leader with his impact on Mumbai Indias. And just like CSK, they have won five IPL titles too. This is the reason that Rohit’s name has to come on the list as he has batted well and did lead MI well from time to time. He could lead MI in T20 format which made him win the 2024 T20I World Cup for India in West Indies and the United States.
• AB de Villiers: The name AB de Villiers would come because he is the father of modern-day T20 cricket. The shots he played at 360 level were indeed great. So yes, the worth of AB de Villiers seems huge indeed. Just like Virat, he has not won the IPL. But the impact and some of the innings can’t be forgotten.

In the end, just on the basis of wins and impact, the name of MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma stands out. Over here too is about about CSK vs MI.
