A successful team is not just made of a bunch of players who execute their skills on the field. A strong management and coaching staff is equally important for a team to win a tournament. 

In the 13 seasons of the Indian Premier League(2008-2020), the teams have benefitted from adding great coaches to their sides, who add invaluable experience to the team. 

Here are the two most successful coaches in the history of IPL: 

1) Stephen Fleming: He has been a part of Chennai Super Kings from the inception of IPL, first as a player then as the head coach. He started as the coach in IPL 2009 and under him, CSK has won the tournament three times. 

2) Mahela Jayawardene: The Sri Lankan legend also started his IPL career as a player. But soon after retiring from cricket, he got into coaching teams. Jayawardene joined Mumbai Indians in 2017 and since then, his team has won IPL thrice.
