Mumbai Indians, who also made the playoffs last season alongside Lucknow Supergiants will hope to win their sixth title this year.

Rajasthan Royals, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings, on the other hand, will expect a better performance. Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad also endured underwhelming campaigns in 2023 and would want to qualify for the playoffs, at the very least.

Hardik Pandya taking over MI captaincy from Rohit Sharma has been the most-talked-about change in leadership for the IPL 2024.
