Ahead of that, former cricketer Kevin Pietersen named his team of the tournament for IPL 2024. Sunil Narine is set to win the MVP of IPL 2024, he had been a crucial all-rounder for KKR, making significant contributions with both bat and ball. He had been named as one of the openers in Pietersen's team. 

The leading run-scorer of the tournament and the Orange Cap holder, Virat Kohli had had an exceptional season, making him a natural choice for the other opening slot. 

Despite a slow start, Patidar's remarkable turnaround in the latter stages of the tournament earned him the number three spot in Pietersen's squad.
