The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 is right upon us. The schedule for the richest cricket tournament in India is out with the MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings facing Royal Challengers Bangalore, which boasts of stars like Virat Kohli, in the opening match on March 22 in Chennai. So far, only the schedule of the first two weeks is out as the IPL organisers are awaiting the announcement of the General Elections 2024 for more clarity on dates.
In the midst of this a video of famous cricketers’ look-alikes has gone viral. In the video, doppelgangers of Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan can be seen on a cricket field. The video has gone viral on social media with some calling it ‘Duplicate Premier League’.

With Virat Kohli skipping the ongoing Test series against England citing personal reasons, the legendary Sunil Gavaskar on Monday wondered if the star batter would play in the upcoming Indian Premier League. The IPL 24 will begin with defending champions Chennai Super Kings taking on Royal Challengers Bangalore on March 22 at Chepauk. Initially named in the Indian Test squad, the RCB talisman pulled out before the opening game in Hyderabad. Earlier this month, the cricketer along with his wife Anushka Sharma announced the birth of their second child.
“Kya woh khelenge… kuchh reason ke liye khel nahin rahe hain, shaayad ho sakta hai ke IPL ke liye bhi na khele (Will he play… He is not playing because of some reason, perhaps he may not play in IPL as well),” Gavaskar said rather cheekily when asked if Kohli would be hungry for runs in the IPL as he would be returning to action after a long break.
Gavaskar was interacting with the students of Indian Institute of Management, Ranchi during a Star Sports Star event.
