Phil Salt, Suyash Sharma, and Karn Sharma have each won three consecutive Indian Premier League titles [1].
This achievement marks a rare milestone in the league's history, highlighting a period of sustained dominance for a small group of athletes across different franchises.
The three-peat was confirmed following the IPL 2026 final held in May 2026 in Ahmedabad, India [2, 3]. During this championship game, Royal Challengers Bengaluru defeated the Gujarat Titans to secure the trophy [2].
Two of the three players who reached this milestone are members of Royal Challengers Bengaluru [2]. The victory in Ahmedabad provided the franchise with two consecutive titles [3].
Phil Salt entered the exclusive club by winning three straight titles, including championships with the Kolkata Knight Riders during the 2024-2025 period [1, 2]. Suyash Sharma and Karn Sharma achieved the same feat through their success with RCB during the 2025-2026 seasons [1, 2].
Only three players in the history of the tournament have now achieved this specific sequence of consecutive wins [1]. The rarity of the feat underscores the difficulty of maintaining championship-level performance while navigating the league's auction and roster changes.

The emergence of a 'three-peat' club signals a shift in the IPL's competitive landscape, where individual players are now finding success across multiple winning dynasties. By winning titles with different franchises—as seen with Phil Salt's transition from the Kolkata Knight Riders to the current era—these players demonstrate that elite individual performance can transcend team identity to create historic personal streaks.
