He was not the first player to pull out of IPL due to personal reasons as Alex Hales, Jason Roy and Mitchell Starc have done the same in the past. According to a report by Cricbuzz, IPL franchises were not happy with the development and they want Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to address the issue.

England batter Harry Brook, who was bought by Delhi Capitals for Rs 4 crore, has withdrawn from the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, citing personal reasons. Signed by Delhi Capitals (DC) at the auction last year, the England batter had also withdrawn from the five-match Test tour of India. The batter took to Instagram and announced that he "made the very difficult decision not to play in the upcoming IPL" and revealed that he lost his grandmother last month, who was his "rock."

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Thursday released their new jersey ahead of the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season. The Hyderabad-based franchise took to their official social media accounts to reveal the new kit. Pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar was featured in the post wearing the brand-new kit. "Fire kit. Fire player. All set for a fiery #IPL2024," Sunrisers Hyderabad wrote on X. The Kavya Maran-owned franchise parted ways with West Indies legendary batter Brain Lara and brought in former New Zealand spinner Daniel Vettori as the team's head coach for the much-awaited IPL 2024. Recently, they replaced Aiden Markram and handed over the captaincy to Pat Cummins for the upcoming season.
Indian wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant has made a stunning recovery, having started playing cricket in full swing, for the first time since his accident in December 2022. Though international cricket still seems to be a little far for Pant, the wicket-keeper batter is all set to play for the Delhi Capitals in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season. While Pant might not keep wickets for Delhi, he is likely to play as a pure batter. The franchise's co-owner Parth Jindal confirmed Pant's role for this season, saying the young star will be leading the DC franchise from the first match.
