From 2008 to 2025: Full List of Players to Play in All IPL Seasons

The Indian Premier League (IPL) has witnessed numerous cricketing legends over the years, but only a select few have had the consistency and longevity to feature in all 18 seasons of the tournament. Manish Pandey recently became the fourth player in IPL history to achieve this remarkable feat, joining the elite club alongside Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, and Rohit Sharma.

Players Who Have Featured in All 18 IPL Seasons

1. MS Dhoni

Popularly known as ‘Captain Cool,’ MS Dhoni has solidified his place as one of the best captains in Indian cricket history. Having spent 16 seasons with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), he led the franchise to five IPL titles. He also played for Rising Pune Super Giants (RPSG) during CSK’s two-year suspension.

2. Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli remains the only player in IPL history to have never been auctioned. Since his debut in 2008, he has been retained by the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and has played a pivotal role for the franchise. Despite never winning an IPL trophy, Kohli has been a consistent performer and has won multiple Orange Caps for scoring the most runs in a season.

3. Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma began his IPL journey with the Deccan Chargers in 2008 and moved to the Mumbai Indians (MI) in 2011. He has since become the most successful captain in IPL history, leading MI to five titles. His six IPL trophies, including one with Deccan Chargers, make him the most decorated player in the tournament’s history.

4. Manish Pandey

Manish Pandey started his IPL career with the Mumbai Indians in 2008 and became the first Indian to score a century in the league while playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2009. Over the years, he has played for multiple franchises, including Pune Warriors India, Kolkata Knight Riders, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Lucknow Super Giants, and Delhi Capitals. He returned to KKR in 2024, marking his sixth season with the team.

Manish Pandey’s 2025 Season Milestone

In IPL 2025, Manish Pandey was brought in as an Impact Player for KKR against Mumbai Indians. Though his team struggled, Pandey’s inclusion in all 18 IPL seasons is a personal milestone that cements his legacy in the league.

As the IPL continues to evolve, these players stand as testaments to the longevity, consistency, and resilience required to sustain success in one of the world’s most competitive T20 leagues.
