The much-anticipated IPL 2024 is gearing up to witness the return of several star performers who missed out on the action in the 2023 edition due to various reasons. Cricket enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the comeback of these players, adding an extra layer of excitement to the upcoming season.

Jasprit Bumrah:

Bumrah, known for his lethal bowling prowess, sat out of IPL 2023 due to a back injury. The cautious approach by the BCCI paid dividends as Bumrah showcased his talent on the global stage, excelling in the ODI World Cup and Test matches against England. Now, the Mumbai Indians (MI) will welcome back their ace bowler, hoping for his impactful contributions once again.

Jonny Bairstow:

Bairstow's absence in IPL 2023 was due to recovery from leg surgery. Now, with Punjab Kings (PBKS), he joins a formidable international player lineup, adding depth and experience to the squad. It remains to be seen if he can secure a regular spot in the team and make significant contributions towards PBKS' quest for success.

Kane Williamson:

The return of Kane Williamson to Gujarat Titans (GT) brings leadership and batting stability. After missing out in 2023 due to an injury sustained in the opening match, Williamson faces competition for a spot in the playing XI from seasoned players like David Miller and Matthew Wade. GT's captain Shubman Gill has a crucial role in balancing the overseas players in the team.

Mitchell Starc:

Starc's comeback to IPL after a long hiatus brings an aura of anticipation and excitement. Joining Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) as the highest-paid player in IPL history, Starc's presence adds firepower to KKR's bowling attack. Fans are eager to see if Starc can live up to the expectations and deliver match-winning performances for his new franchise.

Pat Cummins:

After skipping IPL 2023 to focus on international cricket, Cummins returns to IPL with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) as the highest-paid player in the team. His leadership skills, coupled with his bowling prowess, make him a vital asset for SRH. However, Cummins will face the challenge of proving himself in the T20 format.

Rishabh Pant:

Pant's comeback to Delhi Capitals (DC) after recovering from a life-threatening car accident is a story of resilience and determination. His return brings a sense of excitement and anticipation among Indian cricket fans, eagerly waiting to see their blue-eyed boy back in action.

Shreyas Iyer:

Iyer's comeback to IPL with Delhi Capitals is clouded with speculation due to his back injury concerns. While his return adds depth to DC's batting lineup, there are concerns about his fitness, especially after reports of worsening back pain during domestic matches. DC will monitor his condition closely as fans hope for his swift recovery and impactful performances.

As the IPL 2024 draws near, the return of these star performers promises an action-packed and thrilling season for cricket enthusiasts worldwide.
