IPL 17: Eyes will be on India’s stars in the biggest event of fast-paced cricket – Dainik Savera Times

New Delhi: The never-ending speculations about Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s retirement, Virat Kohli’s struggle for not winning the title for 16 years, Rishabh Pant coming on the field after getting a second chance in life and Rohit Sharma’s pain of losing the captaincy. All these stories will be enough to make the epic cricket battle starting from Friday more interesting. Even at the age of 42, Dhoni is the evergreen captain of IPL and he will be asked if this is his last tournament.

So maybe once again he will be left smiling. Wicketkeeper batsman Pant, who is considered his heir, is returning to the field after getting life support in a horrific car accident and would like to show the world that he still has the same strength in his arms. Rohit, who hides his pain behind his cool Mumbai style, will enter the Wankhede Stadium but this time he will not be the captain. Rohit, the audience’s favorite, will be eager to take out all the troubles with his bat. King Kohli’s eyes will be on the title for which he has been waiting for 16 years.

The only IPL player playing for the same team since the beginning, Kohli’s passion will act as a tonic for his team. Royal Challengers Bangalore women’s team has recently won the Women’s Premier League title. At least 10 to 12 players will be desperate to prove their worth to the selectors so that they can get a ticket for the T20 World Cup to be held in America and West Indies. In this annual event that colors the whole world in the colors of cricket, some players will make a comeback, some new stars will emerge, some stories will emerge from the ground up and many stars may also get grounded.

Fortunes change in this game in one over. After every match, players will also have to face the cruelty of social media. There will be immense pressure on expensive players like Pat Cummins (Sunrisers Hyderabad) and Mitchell Starc (Kolkata Knight Riders) to live up to the expectations. Once again Chennai Super Kings will be among the strong contenders for the sixth title. His favorite ‘Thala’ knows how to overcome difficult situations and achieve victory. Rachin Ravindra will get a chance to hone his skills under Dhoni’s captaincy. The responsibility of fast bowling will be on Deepak Chahar. The team also has stalwarts like Ruturaj Gaikwad, Moeen Ali and Ravindra Jadeja. At the same time, five titles till 2020 and not winning the trophy for the last three years forced Mumbai Indians to change the captain.

Hardik Pandya will have the responsibility of not only winning the title but also winning the hearts of everyone in the dressing room. If he is able to do this then half the battle will be won because Mumbai has such an excellent batting that the shortcomings of bowling will not outweigh. The biggest inspiration for RCB is the title win of the women’s team. Kohli may score less runs but wants to win the title at any cost. Dhoni and Rohit have won the title five times. KKR has also been champion twice. Kohli cannot win the title alone. For this, Dinesh Karthik, Faf du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell will also have to play well.
