The Indian Premier League not only provides a platform for young cricketers to get into the limelight but also offers international players the opportunity to announce their revival through stunning performances. The IPL has rejuvenated the careers of many players; therefore, these cricketers are hoping for a grand comeback in the IPL 2024.
Top 5 players who have to revive their career in IPL 2024
Ajinkya Rahane
Rahane is currently out of India’s scheme of things as he is not part of any squad. In the 2023 IPL, when a similar situation arose for Rahane, he silenced all his critics with a stellar performance in the tournament. Now, Rahane has one last chance to revive his international career in the upcoming IPL season, playing under the leadership of MS Dhoni. CSK are known for reviving players’ careers.
Shardul Thakur
The Indian all-rounder did not have a great IPL in 2023. Shardul had the best chance to make an impact in India’s playing XI in the absence of Hardik Pandya. But he also suffered an injury in the Test series between India and South Africa on the 2nd Test. As Shivam Dube is emerging as the all-rounder for India, Shardul has to show his worth in the IPL to be chosen as India’s all-rounder, ahead of Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube.
Yuzvendra Chahal
Once the spearhead of India’s spin bowling, Yuzvendra Chahal has not featured for the Indian cricket team for a long time. He is waiting for his chance, but selectors will only consider him if he does something special in the upcoming Indian Premier League.
Prithvi Shaw
The IPL 2024 would be a do-or-die for Prithvi Shaw. The Delhi Capitals have given the last chance to the Mumbai batter to prove his talent and make a mark in the tournament. Shaw has to create some magic to get noticed by selection. In the last IPL, Shaw had scored only 106 runs at an average of 13.25 in eight matches. He is out of India’s side from July 2021.
Shikhar Dhawan
It has become impossible for Shikhar Dhawan to make a comeback in India’s National team. He last appeared for the side on 10 December 2022, since then he has not been able to make it to the team. IPL 2024 could be the last chance for the veteran to make his case.
