Today marks the beginning of the 17th edition of the Indian Premier League, aka IPL. This Cricket league needs no introduction as it has become an emotion for Cricket lovers, and it has been entertaining the viewers for over one and a half decades now. The latest edition of 2024 will be kickstarted with a high-voltage drama between two of the most celebrated Cricket franchises, CSK and RCB.
Dhoni – The biggest draw for Chennai Super Kings
Both Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore enjoy a massive fan following not just in India but also internationally. Coming to Chennai’s team, Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been the biggest draw to date, and his name is enough to set the ticket counters on fire. As a captain, he has handled the team for 14 editions and enjoys an impressive winning record.
King Kohli – The force of Royal Challengers Bangalore
For Royal Challengers Bangalore, there have been several star players, but the biggest crowd-puller remains ‘King’ Virat Kohli. The run machine has been super consistent with his bat, but sadly, the team never got the title under his captaincy for 7 seasons. Even his winning record as a captain isn’t that good.
