Have you ever faced that situation where IPL is going on and you’re stuck with boring college exams? On one side, Rohit Sharma is hitting sixes, and on the other, you’re flipping pages with zero focus.
I was in the same boat—and suddenly, a random thought popped into my head: What if IPL teams were college students?
Just imagine—every team with its own attitude, style, and behaviour in the classroom! This could be fun, right? Let’s start this crazy comparison and see which team matches your college vibes. 😉
IPL Teams as Students – From LSG to CSK
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) –

That one kid who lives under the pressure of his dad’s legacy. Achieved a few things here and there, always curious, always trying. But no matter how hard he tries, he never quite tops the class. The potential is there, but so is the pressure.
Gujrat Titans (GT)

The silent genius. Got mature way before his age. Topped the class in his very first attempt when no one even noticed him walking in. Calm, smart, and always ahead of the curve.
Rajashthan Royals (RR)

The introvert who surprised everyone by topping the class once. But then, bad company, distractions, and a little laziness derailed his progress. Now he’s trying to get his life back on track. We’re rooting for his comeback.
Punjab Kings (PBKS)

That one kid who gives his 100% in every test, submits all assignments on time, but never gets the result he deserves. Still, his mom believes in him. She’s always praying he’ll fulfill the dream this year. So are we.
Delhi Capitals (DC)

The guy who gets praised by teachers for his unique answers. Always experimenting, always creative. Changed his name once and suddenly started performing better. Still hasn’t topped the class, but he’s right on the edge.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)

The guy who keeps flexing with imported watches from France and sneakers from Australia. Looks rich and polished, but deep down, most students know — he’s just pretending. Faku boy, as we say in the hostel.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)

The luckiest kid in the class. His dad is a legend, almost like a Shah Rukh Khan figure. But don’t get it twisted — he’s no nepo kid. He studies, he works hard, and he quietly ended up scoring the highest last year. Total underdog story.
Royals Challengers Bangalore (RCB)

The stylish, rich kid every girl in the college secretly crushes on. Owns the latest gadgets, is the star of every college fest, and walks like a legend. But in academics? Never hit that top rank. Still the most popular though.
Mumbai Indians (MI)

The all-rounder. Brilliant in every subject. Teachers praise him like he’s the next big thing. Comes from a business-class family. Topped multiple times. Has the resources, the talent, and the killer instinct. Total topper vibes.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK)

The wise senior. Has as much talent as MI but way more experience. Always in competition with MI for the top spot — they’ve both topped the class five times. Slightly older, slightly slower, but deadly when it counts. These two? Just like do bhai — dono tabahi material hai.
Conclusion
So next time you’re stuck in a boring class while your favorite IPL team is smashing it on the field, just imagine — what would they be like in your college? A flex king like SRH? A hardworking underdog like PBKS? Or the ever-popular RCB?
One thing’s for sure — cricket and college are both full of drama, rivalry, and unforgettable characters. And just like in college, the real fun isn’t in topping — it’s in relating.
