The Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) launched the Karnataka Premier League in 2009 and over the years, they’ve made many changes to the competition in terms of the format and the participating franchise teams. They even went on to change the name of the tournament to the Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 from 2022 onwards.
The players have been the same across the years, while some of the teams and team owners have remained over time as well. Since inception, ten completed seasons of Maharaja Trophy T20 have taken place, with the tournament missing out from 2011 to 2013, and then again between 2020 and 2021. On this page, we’re going to dive into the Maharaja Trophy KSCA T2o winners list…
The first edition of the tournament was won by the now defunct Provident Bangalore franchise, beating Belagavi Panthers in the KPL 2009 final. They made the final in 2010 as well but after that first edition, no Bangalore franchise has gone on to join this Karnataka Premier League winners list. In fact, only Bijapur Bulls and Hubli Tigers have gone on to win the title on more than one occasion.
