The IPL attracts eyeballs and money like no other, and sees players give national duties a miss as well over the past few seasons.

Lately, much debate has been around Mumbai Indians' duo Hardik Pandya, and Ishan Kishan, who are making their return to cricket after respective layoffs. While Pandya is making a return from an ankle injury, Kishan is coming back after a short mental-health break, which witnessed the player lose his central contract as well for not playing in Ranji Trophy 2024. 

Several key players like Mohammed Shami, Prasidh Krishna, and Lungi Ngidi are already ruled out of the tournament, cricketers like Suryakumar Yadav, Anrich Nortje, Devon Conway, and Matheesha Pathirana are expected to take part during the second-part of IPL 2024.
