IPL 2024: The 17th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has arrived, and the fans are really excited for IPL 2024. Ten teams will lock horns against each other, and all of them will be giving their 100% to lift the prestigious IPL trophy. The opening game will be played between defending champions Chennai Super Kings and Faf Du Plessis-led Royal Challengers Bangalore at Chennai’s M.A. Chidambaram Stadium.
The Chennai Super Kings are a team that don’t prefer making too many changes to their squad and their playing 11, but following the retirement of Ambati Rayudu and their constant dependence on Deepak Chahar, the Chennai based franchise did some shopping at the 2024 IPL Auction as they brought in Shardul Thakur to support Deepak Chahar in the bowling unit while they also roped in Sameer Rizvi and Rachin Ravindra to strengthen their batting unit. Newly appointed skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad would be hoping to get the best out of this team and give the best possible farewell to their legend, MS Dhoni, by winning their sixth IPL title.

It was another season of making changes to their squad for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, as they splashed a heavy amount of cash on overseas bowlers after releasing the duo of Josh Hazlewood and Wanindu Hasaranga. They secured the services of Alzarri Joseph, Lockie Ferguson, and Tom Curran for their bowling unit. The Bengaluru-based franchise also signed Cameron Green in a trade deal with the Mumbai Indians for 17.5 crore rupees, which raised a lot of eyebrows among cricket fans around the world. But will these new additions end RCB’s title drought of 16 years? Only time will give the answer to this question.
