With the countdown to the Indian Premier League 2024 ticking away, Star Sports has unveiled an exciting promo featuring IPL stars KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, and Shreyas Iyer. The clip kicks off with Pant, adorned in Punjabi attire, emotionally watching MS Dhoni lifting Ravindra Jadeja after winning the IPL 2023 trophy. The poignant moment shifts to Iyer, clad in Bengali attire, celebrating Rinku Singh’s spectacular sixes.
The video kicks off with Rishabh Pant donned as a Punjabi man, emotionally watching the moment when MS Dhoni hoisted Ravindra Jadeja after winning the IPL in 2023. The 26-year-old, who missed the previous IPL season due to injuries, is portrayed tearfully witnessing the nostalgic scene.
The video transitions to Shreyas Iyer, dressed as a ‘Bangali Babu,’ celebrating exuberantly on a table in a dhoti after Rinku Singh’s six-hitting spree is showcased on television. The KKR captain then sweetly feeds an elderly person as the sequence progresses.
