IPL 2017: 5 players you may not know were IPL captains

#3 Dwayne Bravo

Bravo replaced Sachin as captain for final group game in IPL 2010

Team captained: Mumbai Indians

Matches captained: 1

In the 2010 edition of the IPL, Sachin Tendulkar led from the front and almost led Mumbai Indians to their maiden IPL title. In preparation for the playoffs, the Indian legend gave up captaincy for a game to West Indian all-rounder Dwayne Bravo, who led the side in their final group game.

Sachin, who finished as the leading run-scorer in the tournament and ended as the player of the tournament as well, decided to give the last group game a miss after ensuring his side will finish top courtesy of 10 wins from their first 13 games. However, Bravo's only stint as a captain didn’t go according to plan as he lost.

They were thrashed by nine wickets by KKR who won with 15 balls to spare. Even if the West Indian didn't captain an IPL game after that, he has shown his prowess with the ball is more than enough to etch his names onto the list of the best players to have played in the tournament.
