IPL 2024: Team-wise one player who can emerge as match-winner

The Indian Premier League (IPL) will return with its 17th edition on March 22. Before the competition, all sides will strive to reinforce themselves in all departments of the game. All teams will want their marquee players to be confident and deliver match-winning knocks.

In the previous season, some star players such as Shubman Gill, Faf du Plessis, Devon Conway, Virat Kohli, Mohammed Shami, and Rashid Khan performed exceptionally and ended up as the top performers. Young players such as Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rinku Singh, Matheesha Pathirana, and Noor Ahmad also put up impressive shows and became renowned names in the cricketing circle.

This IPL, veterans and new faces will look to hit the headlines again with their impressive performances. With the 2024 IPL just four weeks away, let’s discuss players who can deliver match-winning numbers to their respective sides consistently.

Here is one player from each team who can emerge as a match-winner in IPL 2024:

10. Faf du Plessis- Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)

South Africa player Faf du Plessis has done a fabulous job as a batter for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the past two seasons, ending up as the leading run-scorer for the team twice. 

This year, eyes will be set on the RCB skipper again. In the recently concluded SA20 League 2023-24, he exuded confidence with his bat, scoring 239 runs in 11 matches at a strike rate of 141.42. Noting the Protea veteran’s current form, Bangalore supporters will expect him to be at his best and deliver fierce starts to the team as an opening batter.
