IPL 2024: The next installment of the cash-rich league in India is all set to begin on March 22. It is carnival time in India, as the Indian Premier League 2024 will start with a high-voltage clash between the Chennai Super Kings and the Royal Challenger Bangalore in Chennai at Chepauk Stadium. This season, some big superstars have joined the tournament, which has made it more interesting.
The IPL is all about the best players playing in one tournament. It will be the same in the 17th edition. However, all eyes will be on some players who might end up surprisingly dominating the league in the coming two months or so. Here, we will talk about five such superstars who will be the ones to watch out for in the IPL 2024.
Here are the Players to watch out for in the IPL 2024.
Players to watch out for in the IPL 2024.
1. Mitchell Marsh
Mitchell Marsh is in the form of his life and will be a key player for the Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2024. The Australian all-rounder is the captain of his national T20I team and has shown some brilliant performances in the last year or so in both departments. His power-hitting is one aspect that can take the game away from the opposition. And not to forget, he is more than a useful bowler who can bowl with new and old balls as well.
2. Glenn Maxwell
Glenn Maxwell is another Australian who will be in this category. The veteran all-rounder is a beast when it comes to tearing apart the opposition bowlers. That’s how he plays, and it has brought him success in his career. The memory of his double hundred against Afghanistan with one leg is still fresh, and he can certainly be RCB’s man who can take them to their maiden title in the IPL 2024. Adding to that, he is bowling four overs consistently, which will give RCB another good option in the middle.
3. Suryakumar Yadav
You can’t keep a player of Suryakumar Yadav’s calibre for a long time. “India’s Mr. 360” is currently in rehab but will be fit for the Mumbai Indians. There are not many batters who can match what he does on the cricket field, which is why he is certainly one Indian star to watch out for in the IPL 2024. It will not be a surprise if he ends up scoring the most runs for MI once again. Suryakumar is also in good form, and the coming season will be a perfect tournament for him to get ready for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2024.
4. Jos Buttler
Jos Buttler has been one of the main pillars in the batting order for the Rajasthan Royals that has been successful for them in the IPL. The English opener has been one of the best in the shorter format. He has been a prolific run-scorer for RR, and that is expected of him in the coming IPL 2024 as well. Buttler has scored more than 1200 runs in the last two IPL seasons, and he can be the one that can end RR’s trophy drought. His presence also helps Yashasvi Jaiswal play freely, which is why he is very important for RR.
5. Virat Kohli
You can never keep Virat Kohli away when it comes to scoring in a competitive tournament. He has been a run machine wherever he has played in his career, and when it comes to the IPL, he is the highest run scorer of all time. Virat had an incredible 2023 season for RCB, where he scored 639 runs at an average and strike rate of 53.25 and 139.82, respectively. Since then, he has been scoring runs for fun across formats. Fans are waiting for another brilliant season for King Kohli, and he will be the one player that will be on the mind of every opposition’s captain.
