1.Virat Kohli: Royal Challengers Bangalore
For a number of years now, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Virat Kohli have been synonymous. Over the past several years, the hitter has surpassed the opening department in the squad and has been performing his duties to the fullest extent possible.
Virat hasn’t played in many T20 Internationals lately. He played in the 2024 Twenty20 Indian Premier League match against Afghanistan however, his performance was lackluster. It would be anticipated that the batter’s explosive batting abilities would light up the stage once more.

Chinnaswamy Stadium against Gujarat, where he scored 28 runs off of 19 balls.
3.Glenn Maxwell: Royal Challengers Bangalore
While Glenn Maxwell did not disappoint with the bat in the 2023 Indian Premier League, the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) club management would be looking for him to lead the team in significant innings this season. He scored two match-winning hundreds for Australia in the last ten Twenty20 Internationals.
The Australian is anticipated to showcase his all-around skill to hurt the hosts and help his team start the season with a victory in the opening match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.
4.Rachin Ravindra: Chennai Super Kings
Rachin Ravindra, a top hitter for New Zealand in the ODI World Cup 2023, will be an important member of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the forthcoming IPL season. Along with homegrown talent Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ravindra is anticipated to open the innings for CSK in the IPL 2024 as a first-choice player in the team.
As the team’s replacement for the injured Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra will have a lot of pressure to perform well in the first order.
5.Ruturaj Gaikwad: Chennai Super Kings
Among the CSK team, Ruturaj Gaikwad has established himself thanks to his brilliant batting statistics. The opening batter was a vital player in Chennai’s last two championship victories. In order to successfully defend the title in 2024, the Super Kings will need him to be at the top of his game.
Ruturaj scored runs for India in a five-match T20I series played at home against Australia, demonstrating his remarkable recent T20 batting skills. He scored his first international century in a losing cause in Guwahati. To appease CSK followers, Gaikwad will try to show off his menacing side once more.
6.Daryl Mitchell: Chennai Super Kings
In the CSK camp for the IPL 2024, Daryl Mitchell, a batter from New Zealand, will be an important member. The Kiwi player was signed by the Yellow Army for a whopping INR 14 crore. The middle-order player for CSK is expected to be a productive batsman and score game-winning hits. In a five-match Twenty20 International series against Pakistan, Mitchell exhibited confidence with the bat.
7.Ravindra Jadeja: Chennai Super Kings
Over the years, Ravindra Jadeja has presented the RCB batting unit with a variety of threats. In addition to being frugal, he has a tendency for gaining crucial wickets because of his ability to consistently use appropriate bowling variations, which makes it difficult for the opposition to score runs off of him. He will be trying to work his magic with the ball after taking the third-most wickets of any bowler in IPL history with 26 against RCB. Since 2008, he has participated in 226 IPL games and claimed 152 wickets, including three four-wicket innings and a fifer.
8.Mohammad Siraj: Royal Challengers Bangalore
When it comes to their death bowling skills, RCB has a lot on their plate. The bowling that RCB lacked in the final four overs of the previous season was one of those areas. The time frame, dubbed “make or break,” proved to be RCB’s weak point in the 2023 IPL.
Along with Lokie Ferguson, Muhammad Siraj will spearhead the side’s pace attack and be a crucial bowler in the closing stages of the game. At the end of the innings, it will be up to the two to limit the opposition’s run-flow.
9.Matheesha Pathirana: Chennai Super Kings
In the 2023 season, Matheesha Pathirana, a a pacer from Sri Lanka, was fantastic with the ball for CSK. During the Yellow Army’s fifth championship victory, he contributed 19 wickets at an economy of 8.00 in 12 games. The upcoming IPL season will be a chance for the speedster to keep up his good work. Pathirana has been bowling well lately; in a three-match T20 International (T20I) series, Sri Lanka defeated Afghanistan with Pathirana’s assistance.
10.Deepak Chahar: Chennai Super Kings
CSK’s most effective bowler, particularly during powerplay overs, is Deepak Chahar. His ability to swing the ball both ways, which has frequently paid for early dismissals, is his greatest weapon. Important hitters are removed during the powerplay overs, which makes it much simpler for MS Dhoni to thwart the opposition’s plan and establish the tone for the remainder of the innings. In 73 games, he has claimed 72 wickets at an economy rate of 7.92, with two four-wicket hauls.
