3 players to watch in IPL 2024: The IPL 2024 will reportedly get underway on March 22. With the T20 World Cup set to kick-start at the start of June, the IPL is likely to conclude by the end of the third week of May.
The 17th edition of the IPL will be a turning point in the history of the tournament, as this year’s competition is going to be the last for a few legends. With the IPL 2025 auction likely to be a mega-auction, a few players on the wrong side of the 30s (and someone in his 40s) could bid adieu.
Here are the 3 players to watch in IPL 2024: Indian Premier League 2024
1. MS Dhoni
While we have been pondering this for the last four seasons, the IPL 2024 is all but certain to be the last IPL for MS Dhoni. The CSK captain will be nearing the age of 43 by the end of the tournament this year.
As per the 3 Players to Watch in IPL 2024, He remains the most successful IPL skipper, with five IPL trophies and multiple playoff and final appearances as CSK’s captain. Every move of Dhoni in the IPL 2024 will be observed and will remain unmissable for his legions of fans.
2. Rohit Sharma
Although Rohit Sharma has been replaced as the Mumbai Indians captain, the 36-year-old still has something to prove as a batsman. Now that it feels all but guaranteed that Rohit will play and lead in the T20 World Cup 2024, the right-handed opener needs to show that he will be able to transfer his aggressive approach in the ODI powerplays from the World Cup 2023 to T20 cricket.
The sort of mini-innings that Rohit played in the World Cup would be even more useful in the T20 format. Rohit has been under-par as a batsman in the IPL over recent seasons, but with his current form and experience, he is never too far away from dominating games as he used to in his heydays.
