Shreyas Iyer is also coming back to IPL after missing 2023 due to a back injury which needed a surgery. The batter played some outstanding knocks in World Cup last year before he hit a rough patch in Tests, eventually losing his place in the side. He has lost the BCCI central contract also and fair to say, it is one one of the lows of his career. Iyer will hope for a strong comeback in IPL, aiming to win the first title for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). (Image: ANI)

The Australian captain has been named captain of Sunrisers Hyderabad for IPL 2024. Cummins opted out of IPL 2023 as he wanted to focus on international assignments in what was a packed year. He was eventually let go by KKR before. After winning World Test Championship (WTC), ODI World Cup titles, he put himself back into the auction pool and fetched a staggering Rs 20.5 crore deal with SRH. Watch out for Captains Cummins for the first time in IPL. (Image: ANI)

Australia's left-arm pacer is returning to IPL after 8 years. This is one of the most anticipated comebacks and Starc will look to boost KKR's bowling lineup. In the auction, he became the most expensive IPL player in history fetching a record Rs 24.75 crore at the auction. Starc has not played white-ball matches, forget T20Is, for the last six months and it will be fascinating to see how he goes in the league. (Image: ANI)

Kane Williamson played the first match of IPL 2023 for Gujarat Titans (GT) before he injured himself while fielding in the deep. That injury ruled him out of action for almost six months but Williamson did play some matches of the World Cup. Williamson is fit again and is looking to make it big this year for GT. Shubman Gill will surely be helped by presence of this senior batter in this team. (Image: ANI)

Jonny Bairstow is not in best of form at the moment after having fared poorly in the five-match Tests. He missed the last year's IPL due to fractured leg as he was recovering from the surgery. Punjab Kings will be hoping one of their finest overseas picks performs well this season. (Image: ANI)
