The new season of Indian Premier League (IPL) is very special for cricket fans. The first IPL after the star auction, the return of many stars, the composition of the team changed significantly … there are many reasons. The most important of these is the list of stars coming to the IPL after the break. From Rishabh Pant, who returned from the brink of death, to Mitchell Starc, who is part of the IPL after eight seasons, the list includes.
Rishabh Pant (Delhi Capitals)
At the end of December 2022 Rishabh Pant had an accident that shocked the entire cricket world. The vehicle in which the actor was traveling was completely burnt. There were also concerns that Ball would be able to return to cricket. But after a gap of 14 months, the batsman has returned to cricket. The star has already joined Delhi Capitals.
Rishabh Pant
Everyone is eagerly waiting for the performance of Pant who has been away from the field for a long time. Ball came back after knee surgery, therapy and several injuries. The star’s presence will add more strength to Delhi’s batting line-up. The Delhi batting line-up was unable to accelerate the scoring in the middle overs last season. The player’s return to the Indian team will be based on his performance in the IPL.
Jasprit Bumrah (Mumbai Indians)
Bumrah missed the 2023 season due to an external injury. Bumrah enters the new season in great form. He took 19 wickets at an average of 16.89 in the Test series against England. Bumrah has not been involved in Twenty20 cricket since the 2023 tour to Ireland.

Shreyas Iyer (Kolkata Knights)
Shreyas Iyer missed last season due to injury and surgery. Shreyas comes to lead the Kolkata Knight Riders from the midst of controversies. Shreyas, who was dropped from the Twenty20 and national teams after his impressive performance in the World Cup, also lost the central BCCI contract. The difficulty for Shreyas was that he did not participate in the Ranji Trophy even though he was not part of the international matches. After the BCCI action Shreyas, who was part of Ranji, scored 95 runs for Mumbai in the final. But the information is that the star is injured again.

Pat Cummins (Sunrisers Hyderabad)
Australian skipper Pat Cummins was absent last season as part of his focus on international cricket. Cummins won the World Test Championship and the ODI World Cup with Australia.

Mitchell Starc (Kolkata Knights)
Mitchell Starc is coming back after a gap of eight seasons with the name of being the most valuable player in the history of the IPL. Kolkata bought the player for Rs 24.75 crore. Starc has been a part of the IPL only in the seasons of 2014 and 2015. The player was playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore. Despite winning Kolkata in 2018, the player withdrew from the IPL.

Kane Williamson (Gujarat Titans)
Williamson’s first season with Gujarat Titans ended in less than an hour. The player was injured while fielding in the match against Chennai Super Kings. Later, Williamson made a comeback in the ODI World Cup. With Hardik Pandya moving to Mumbai, the inexperienced Shubman Gill leads Gujarat this time. In this situation, Williamson’s presence will be crucial for the team.

Jonny Bairstow (Punjab Kings)
Bairstow missed the 2023 season due to a leg injury and surgery. The player comes to the IPL after a poor performance in the Test series against India. The right-handed batsman managed to score 253 runs at an excellent strike rate for Punjab in the 2022 season. But the star’s average was only 23. The question is whether the England batsman can get a place in Punjab’s starting XI this time.
