Former Sri Lankan cricketer Mahela Jayawardene was one of the successful captains in international cricket history. But he failed to maintain the same captaincy success in the IPL career.

In his IPL career, Jayawardene played for the Kings XI Punjab (KXIP), Kochi Tuskers Kerala (KTK) and Delhi Daredevils (DD) and also served as a captain for all of these sides. While he played 80 IPL matches, he played as a captain in 30 matches. Jayawardene-led IPL team won only 10 matches while suffered 19 defeats and the other one had the tie result. As a captain, his success rate was 35.00%.
