| Player | Matches | Won | Lost | Toss | Runs | 50/100 | HS |
| MS Dhoni | 190 | 116 (61.05%) | 73 (38.42%) | 99 (52.11%) | 4746 | 23/0 | 84* |
| Virat Kohli | 140 | 66 (47.14%) | 70 (50.00%) | 69 (49.29%) | 6283 | 42/5 | 113 |
Unlike India team, Dhoni announced that he would step down as the captain. IPL 2022 is expected to be MS DHoni’s last as he has been struggling with form and age is not by his side. For Virat Kohli, he is hoping to get his form back after quitting India and RCB captaincy.
