Here we look at the 3 Team That Target Josh Inglis in IPL 2024
- Chennai Super Kings
Chennai Super Kings won the 2023 IPL title with MS Dhoni leading from the front as a captain. CSK wanted Josh Inglis as a backup keeping the future in mind.
MS Dhoni-led side has strong Indian core players and doesn’t need to worry about the overseas players available for them. With Rayudu retired, CSK needs a strong middle-order bat which Josh Inglis can provide.
His ability to hit big shots as CSK has the habit of sending Shivam Dube as floaters according to the match situation. With MS Dhoni likely to retire, Josh Inglis could be their long-term wicketkeeping option which would help the five-time champion big time.
- Royal Challengers Bangalore
Royal Challengers Bangalore has been struggling in the wicketkeeping department in IPL 2023. Dinesh Karthik and Anuj Rawat were not able to hit big scores that would help RCB win matches on their own.
The likes of Faf du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell, and Josh Hazlewood likely to be selected, and they need to find a way to fit Josh Inglis into the middle order as fourth overseas player. RCB largely dependent on Virat Kohli which does not help their cause.
If Josh Inglis could be fitted into the squad, Royal Challengers Bangalore could have a serious chance of winning the title.
- Delhi Capitals
Delhi Capitals struggled with their wicketkeeping options with Rishabh Pant meeting with an unfortunate accident. They gave chances to Abishek Porel and Sarfaraz Khan, but they could not stamp their chances and produce some magical knocks.
Delhi Capitals had a disappointing 2023 finishing 9th in the points table. They need to focus on the wicketkeeper who can provide the skills with the bat. Josh Inglis would be the perfect choice for Delhi Capitals which will give impetus in lower order depending upon the situation.
