The IPL 2024 is currently in full swing, with some teams excelling while others are struggling. Rajasthan Royals, SunRisers Hyderabad, and Kolkata Knight Riders are the top three teams, while Delhi Capitals, Punjab Kings, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru are at the bottom of the table. The IPL holds extra significance this year as it is right before the T20 World Cup 2024, with the squad expected to be announced soon.
Former Australia batter Aaron Finch has expressed his concerns about the form of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Hardik Pandya, who have not been in their best form during the IPL. However, Jaiswal proved Finch wrong by scoring an unbeaten century in a recent match, improving his average for the season. Finch also highlighted the importance of spin bowling in the upcoming T20 World Cup, with players like Kuldeep Yadav and Arshdeep Singh needing to find form before the tournament.
Finch believes that there is still time for players to improve their form before the T20 World Cup, with potentially 10 more games left in the IPL. He emphasized that players being in great form will be crucial for them to make it to India’s squad and contribute to their chances of winning the tournament.
The IPL has been a great platform for young Indian cricketers to showcase their talent and prove themselves on a global stage. With India set to host the T20 World Cup next year, it is important that they have a strong squad ready to compete on home soil.
One team that has been performing well so far is Rajasthan Royals. Captain Sanju Samson has led from the front with some impressive performances from both bat and ball. SunRisers Hyderabad has also been doing well under captain David Warner’s leadership.
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals has struggled so far this season despite having a talented squad filled with experienced players like Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant. Punjab Kings have also struggled early on but have shown signs of improvement recently.
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru have yet to win a game after four matches played this season. Their skipper Virat Kohli will need to lead from the front if they want to turn things around quickly.
Overall, it’s still early days in this season of IPL but some teams are already starting to shape up for what could be an exciting tournament ahead.
