Trent Boult, one of the finest fast bowlers New Zealand has ever produced, has cemented his name in cricketing history. On February 8, 2025, he became the first player in the world to win four T20 league titles with four different teams of the same franchise—Mumbai Indians. This incredible feat highlights Boult’s consistency and impact in the shortest format of the game.
Trent Boult’s Historic Achievement
Trent Boult’s exceptional journey with the Mumbai Indians franchise has led to title victories in four different leagues: IPL 2020 with Mumbai Indians (India), MLC 2023 with MI New York (USA), ILT20 2024 with MI Emirates (UAE), and SA20 2025 with MI Cape Town (South Africa).
SA20 2025: A Winning Performance
Boult played a crucial role in MI Cape Town’s victory in the SA20 2025 final against Sunrisers Eastern Cape. His impressive spell of 2 wickets for just 9 runs in 4 overs at The Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg, earned him the Player of the Match award. In SA20 2025, Boult played 11 matches, took 11 wickets, and achieved his best figures of 2/9.
ILT20 & MLC Winning Performance
Boult’s impact in ILT20 2024 was undeniable as he played for MI Emirates and picked up 16 wickets in 12 matches, finishing as the third-highest wicket-taker. In the ILT20 final against the Dubai Capitals, he delivered impressive figures of 2 wickets for 20 runs in 4 overs, contributing to his season total of 16 wickets.
In the 2023 Major League Cricket (MLC) season, Boult continued his dominance with MI New York, culminating in a title victory. In the MLC 2023 final against the Seattle Orcas, Boult delivered an impressive performance, taking 3 wickets for 34 runs in 4 overs. His remarkable season saw him finish as the tournament’s leading wicket-taker with a total of 22 wickets.

IPL 2020: Boult’s First MI Triumph

In the IPL 2020 final against the Delhi Capitals, Boult took 3 wickets for 30 runs in 4 overs, including the key dismissal of Marcus Stoinis on the first ball of the final. He ended the season with 25 wickets, making him the third-highest wicket-taker.

Trent Boult’s Future in IPL 2025
After his stunning performances worldwide, Boult is set to return to Mumbai Indians for IPL 2025. He was signed for ₹12.50 crore in the IPL 2025 mega auction and is expected to lead MI’s pace attack once again.
What Makes Boult a T20 Superstar?
Boult’s ability to swing the ball early makes him a nightmare for opening batters. His knack for picking wickets in the powerplay has been a key factor in his teams’ success. While he is primarily known for his new-ball skills, Boult has also developed into a reliable death bowler, using variations like slower balls and yorkers. Playing in different leagues has made Boult an adaptable bowler, capable of performing in various pitch and weather conditions.
Boult now stands alongside MI greats like Kieron Pollard, who has won titles with three MI franchises—Mumbai Indians, MI New York, and MI Emirates. However, Boult’s feat of four titles with four teams makes him unique in T20 history.
