PREVIEW: The importance of the league continues to rise with each and every edition of the Indian Premier League. This year is no different, and the trade of Hardik Pandya to Mumbai Indians and the big money signings of Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins have already set the tone for a big tournament.
The 2024 IPL will act as a bridge competition ahead of the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in the United States and the West Indies later this year, so in addition to the usual bragging rights, there’s a spot in the national team at stake for Indian and overseas players alike.
With potential small turnarounds between games, increased double headers and possibly fewer home games for some sides, IPL 2024 is here to entertain. But who will prevail this time around?
Mumbai Indians: Mumbai Indians will be led by a returning Hardik Pandya in IPL 2024 in one of the biggest changes in the IPL history.
Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings come into the 2024 edition of the IPL with a new leader in Ruturaj Gaikwad as this could be the last season for MS Dhoni.
Rajasthan Royals: The Royals might not be the obvious favorites this season, with teams like Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings in the limelight, but they do possess extreme talent and under the leadership of Sanju Samson the team exudes confidence.
Lucknow Super Giants: The Lucknow Super Giants come into this year’s IPL on the back of an impressive first two seasons where they made the play-offs both times. KL Rahul leads the charge with the bat for the LSG.
Kolkata Knight Riders: Heading into IPL 2024, the Kolkata Knight Riders have two key strengths: their batting outside of the openers and their spin lineup. Their middle order is set to comprise of the returning Shreyas Iyer, Nitish Rana and Rinku Singh.
Delhi Capitals: After a non-impressive season last year, DC will see the return of Rishabh Pant as the team's captain, who will look to turnaround the fortunes for the team.
Punjab Kings: With Shikhar Dhawan continuing as the captain, PBKS would look to use their batting potential to its maximum limits, something which didn't happen last year.
Gujarat Titans: GT has a new captain in Shubman Gill after the exit of Hardik Pandya and would be banking on their bowling resources as last year 5 of the GT bowlers ended up in the top 10 of the purple cap list.
Royal Challengers Bangalore: RCB boasts of a quality team this year as well, and would like to finally win the IPL for the first time under Faf Du Plessis leadership. The IPL also marks the return of Virat Kohli to cricket after almost 2 months.
Sunrisers Hyderabad: Under the leadership of the ODI World Cup winning captain, Pat Cummins, SRH would like start well and make a complete use of their resources.
