The two-month-long extravaganza of IPL 2024 has concluded, with the Kolkata Knight Riders ending their 10-year title drought by defeating the Sunrisers Hyderabad in a one-sided final. Commentators rightly noted this season as trend-setting, featuring numerous record-breaking performances, thrilling matches, and the longest six ever hit by MS Dhoni.
It wouldn't be wrong to quote that IPL 2024 highlighted the dominance of young Indian uncapped players, each team showcasing emerging talents who could potentially shape the future of Indian cricket. However, seasoned players like Virat Kohli, Sunil Narine, and Mitchell Starc demonstrated that experience is invaluable, particularly in crucial matches like the finals.

The number of awards has significantly increased, recognizing achievements from the season's best catch to the most sixes hit.
