The imminent arrival of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 has garnered attention, unveiling its schedule for the extravagant cricket tournament. The inaugural clash on March 22 in Chennai will witness the MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings confronting the star-studded Royal Challengers Bangalore, captained by Virat Kohli.
However, only the first two weeks of the schedule have been disclosed, as organizers await clarity on dates from the announcement of the General Elections 2024. Amidst the anticipation, a viral video showcasing doppelgangers resembling cricket legends such as Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, and Shikhar Dhawan has captured social media’s fascination, humorously dubbed as the ‘Duplicate Premier League.’

Questions surrounding Virat Kohli’s participation in the IPL arise, as he has opted to skip the ongoing Test series against England due to personal reasons. Speculation heightened when Sunil Gavaskar, the cricket legend, pondered whether the star batter would grace the IPL stage. The IPL 24 kickstarts with the clash between defending champions Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore on March 22 at Chepauk. Kohli, initially named in the Indian Test squad, withdrew before the opening game in Hyderabad.
Virat Kohli expressed his joy on social media after Rohit Sharma and his team achieved a historic series victory against England. India secured a commanding 3-1 lead in the five-match series by defeating England by five wickets in the fourth Test match held in Ranchi on Monday.
His absence was attributed to personal commitments, with Kohli and his wife, Anushka Sharma, announcing the birth of their second child earlier this month. In a playful exchange with students at the Indian Institute of Management, Ranchi, during a Star Sports event, Gavaskar cheekily speculated on Kohli’s future involvement, raising the question of whether the hiatus might extend to the IPL. The cricketing community awaits with curiosity as the dynamics of the upcoming IPL season continue to unfold.
