Will This IPL Season Mark the End for Cricket Legends?
The Indian Premier League (IPL) has served as a grand stage for some of the greatest cricketers of our time. As the 2024 season unfolds, speculation is rife that it might be the last for cricket legends like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and MS Dhoni. This could also be true for seasoned performers like Faf Du Plessis and Sunil Narine. With age and injuries playing a role, let’s take a closer look at these cricketing icons.
Rohit Sharma
Captain of the Mumbai Indians, Rohit Sharma has led his team to five IPL titles. However, at 37, his recent performances have been lackluster. In the 2024 season, free from captaincy pressure, he managed to score 417 runs in 14 matches. Will he bid farewell to IPL like he did with T20 internationals after lifting the T20 World Cup?
Virat Kohli
Known as ‘King’ Kohli, he had a stellar 2023 season with 741 runs in 15 matches. However, despite his individual brilliance, RCB continues to chase the elusive title. With his T20I retirement last year, will this season be his final chance to make an impact in the IPL?
MS Dhoni
After a knee surgery post-IPL 2023, MS Dhoni has adapted his role in the Chennai Super Kings, scoring 161 runs at an impressive strike rate of 220.54. At 43, will this IPL be his swansong, possibly concluding with a title-winning six?
Faf Du Plessis
Now with Delhi Capitals, Faf Du Plessis continues to showcase his skills at 40. He scored 438 runs in 15 matches last season. Will he secure a maiden title for DC before calling it a day?
Sunil Narine
At 36, Narine has transformed into a dynamic all-rounder, scoring 488 runs last season. His performance is pivotal for KKR. Will he aim for a title before closing this chapter of his career?
