Along with the veterans, the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 will be a big platform for the youngsters to shine too. Yashasvi Jaiswal is one player who will be closely watched. The left-handed batter is in tremendous form after a stellar Test series against England. Now, he will be seen in action for Rajasthan Royals. His six-hitting videos during RR training session have gone viral.
For Mumbai Indians, the buildup of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, has been all about the captaincy change. From Rohit Sharma to Hardik Pandya, that's the one big shift that everybody is talking about. But beyond that too, there are pressing concerns for the five-time champions. Senior batter Suryakumar Yadav is reportedly out of the first match of the franchise in IPL 2024 due to an injury. Former Indian cricket team captain Sunil Gavaskar has raised another concern.
After pulling out of the recently-concluded Test series against England, star batter Virat Kohli is set to return to action during the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Kohli returned to India, following the birth of his son Akaay, and is set to join his franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore's training camp. Kohli was in the UK to be with his wife Anushka Sharma, who gave birth to their second child, Akaay, on February 15. He had opted out of the England series, citing personal reasons.
Arguably the only renowned pace-bowling all-rounder in the Indian team, Hardik Pandya saw his ODI World Cup 2023 participation cut short after an ankle injury saw him sidelined for the most part of the campaign. Though Hardik was informed of a 25-day rehabilitation period, he tried to push himself for a comeback within 5 days and ended up worsening his injury. The all-rounder, now fit for Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 campaign with the Mumbai Indians, shared the horror-tale of his World Cup injury that forced him off the field for months.
Ocean Sharma, a prominent caster of the country's Esports industry, has scripted history by becoming the first gaming caster to be appointed as the national presenter for the highly anticipated season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 by Star Sports. Having enjoyed an illustrious career in Esports, this will not be Ocean's first stint in the country's sporting landscape as he has previously showcased his casting talent in high-profile tournaments such as Ultimate Kho Kho and Pro Kabaddi League.
Despite talks around his Indian Premier League (IPL) future, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) MS Dhoni is all set to lead the franchise in the upcoming season, starting March 22. The 42-year-old joined CSK's preparatory IPL camp earlier this month ahead of CSK first game of the season against the Royal Challengers Bangalore on the opening day. Legendary spinner Anil Kumble, who shared the dressing room with Dhoni during the latter stage of his international career, has shared an interesting story regarding the former India captain.
Former Indian cricket team all-rounder Yuvraj Singh believes that Mumbai Indians should have given Rohit Sharma another year as captain with Hardik Pandya being his vice captain in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. There has been a lot of controversy surrounding the decision to hand Pandya the captaincy after he completed a sensational trade move from Gujarat Titans. In a recent interaction on Star Sports, Yuvraj said that Rohit is a five-time IPL winner as a captain and although he understands the decision to bring someone like Hardik, MI should have given one more season to the veteran batter.
Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant has been declared fit to take part in the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Pant suffered a life-threatening car crash in December 2022, and has been out of action since then. He had missed IPL 2023 due to the injuries sustained in the car crash. However, the National Cricket Academy (NCA) has cleared Pant to keep the wickets, and the player will also lead the franchise in IPL 2024. After the news of Pant's return was made official, DC shared a welcome back post for their captain.
