Ruturaj Gaikwad to Bhuvneshwar Kumar: 10 IPL 2024 stars not in India's T20 World Cup squad

Ruturaj Gaikwad has been in tremendous touch in his first season as captain of Chennai Super Kings. Gaikwad is currently the second highest run-getter in the tournament scoring 541 runs at 60.11 and a strike rate of 147 including four fifties and a century

Shashank Singh has probably been the find of IPL 2024 playing for Punjab Kings. Scoring 351 runs in 11 innings at an average of 63 and a strike rate of 165.7, Shashank has single-handedly kept Punjab in several games and won two games batting in the middle order

Abhishek Sharma may have tailed off a bit in IPL 2024 but when he was on song, he lit up the tournament. Despite a few low scores, his strike rate in the tournament is 195, tells you at what speed he was playing - scoring 326 runs

Striking at 193, Dinesh Karthik has rolled years back in IPL 2024 in the death overs. Karthik has had a couple of 20-odd ball fifties and has given RCB and their fans much respite amid all the gloom. However, this is his last IPL and was not going to be considered for the Indian team

Like Dinesh Karthik for RCB, Tilak Varma has been probably one of the very few bright spots for Mumbai Indians apart from Jasprit Bumrah amid a disappointing season. Varma has shown various aspects to his game, playing in both gears and has been the troubleshooter for MI many times with 384 runs to his name in the season

Riyan Parag has probably been the most improved player in IPL 2024 after being given the No 4 position. His consistency, six-hitting, maturity and just overall game sense has been top-notch and has been one of the reasons why Rajasthan Royals are where they are on the table

For two seasons in a row now, Varun Chakravarthy has started to find himself back with the lengths he is bowling and the consistency he has been with line while using his variations when he needs to and not overdoing it. 16 wickets and Chakaravarthy's partnership with Sunil Narine has been exceptional

Harshal Patel too has had a season of rediscovery. The shades of Purple Patel of 2021 have been visible this year with the dip and the hang-time in the air with his slower balls returning and now has 17 wickets to his name

With the tracks slowing down a bit, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has come into his own. Bhuvneshwar has reached the 180 mark in terms of total wickets in the IPL and has already won a game on his own for the Sunrisers and put breaks on LSG's scoring with two wickets in another

T Natarajan with 15 wickets in IPL 2024 has shown signs of the Natarajan of 2020 and 2021 as the yorker is back, the consistency with lines and lengths is there and has played a crucial part for the Sunrisers
