The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season is right upon us. Every year the two-and-half-months of IPL sees the top talents in world cricket get together to compete in the richest cricket tournament of the world. This time too the anticipation surrounding the league is immense. Chennai Super Kings are the defending champions and under the leadership of MS Dhoni, they will aim to win a record sixth title. Apart from CSK, there will be a lot of interest on Mumbai Indians too, who will be playing under their new skipper Hardik Pandya.
Ahead of the IPL, the organisers released a hilarious ad, where Hardik Pandya and Ishan Kishan can be seen trolling Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Shreyas Iyer, saying: “10 Rs ka makkhan, Iyer Bhai Dhakkan.”
Reporting the ad, Iyer wrote: “Kaun dhakkan aur kaun makkhan yeh toh kuch dino mein pata chal jayega Match mein milte hain @hardikpandya7 @ishankishan51”

Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Shreyas Iyer may end up missing the initial matches of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, according to a report by Times of India. The report claimed that the batter’s old back injury has flared up once again following his 95-run knock for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy final against Vidarbha. In 2023, Iyer underwent surgery due to the same injury and the recent development can rule him out of the first few matches of IPL 2024. “It is not looking good. It is the same back injury which has got aggravated. It is unlikely he will take the field on Day 5 of the Ranji Trophy final. He is in danger of missing the initial matches of the IPL,” a source told Times Of India in the report.
The IPL is a crucial tournament for Iyer after he was left out of BCCI’s central contract list. KKR take on Sunrisers Hyderabad in Kolkata on March 23 in their first game of the competition.
Iyer suffered back spasms during his 95-run knock and had to be checked twice by the Mumbai team physio. He also did not take the field for Mumbai on Wednesday and the report claimed that it is highly unlikely that he will play a further part in the Ranji Trophy final.
Iyer had earlier complained about this injury during the recently concluded Test series against England.
“During the recently-held Test series against England at home, he had told the Indian team management about this injury troubling him again,” the source said.
However, the National Cricket Academy (NCA) said that he has no new injury concerns.
