Former Indian cricketer and commentator Aakash Chopra believes that Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 showcased a clear shift in the evolution of T20 cricket, with batting dominance taking centre stage. Speaking exclusively on JioHotstar, Chopra analyzed how teams, particularly Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Mumbai Indians (MI), redefined the game with their aggressive approach. Chopra said as per JioHotstar, “IPL 2024 was dominated only by the batsmen. We have seen a small trailer of the future as to where exactly this T20 game is going. They are hitting sixes on sixes; whoever comes, hits. 277–that was unthinkable at that moment. But the Sunrisers did it, setting up a massive challenge for Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan. It was either going to be an absolute thriller or an uphill battle. 277 was on the board, and winning didn’t even seem like a possibility at first. But then Rohit took his stance, and Ishan started from the other end. As they began striking the ball cleanly, the game took a bizarre turn. Suddenly, it felt like anything was possible!”

With age not by their side anymore at 37 and 36 respectively, it could very well be the last time India witnesses two of its biggest icons in an ICC tournament together for one last time. Over the years, they have evolved from being free-flowing, talented youngsters to being national icons on whose calctulated strokes and swings hinge hopes of over a billion people.
