<p>All 10 clubs will compete in the league stage using a round-robin home-and-away format, same as in the previous two editions.</p>
<p>The playoffs will include the following fixtures: Eliminator, Qualifier 1, Qualifier 2, and Final. The top four clubs advance to these rounds.</p>
<p>Only half of the tournament’s schedule—21 matches spread over 10 locations, with each side playing three to five matches—has been released by BCCI due to the nation’s general elections.</p>
<p>Regarding the tournament, 74 games in all will take place at various locations, and the remaining schedule, which includes the playoffs, will probably be revealed in the next few days.</p>
<p>For the IPL 2024, all ten clubs have finalized their squads; however, a few alterations have occurred as a result of withdrawals and injuries.</p>
<p>A few teams have also added new coaches and leaders.</p>
<p>Captain of the Chennai Super Kings is MS Dhoni</p>
<p>Stephen Fleming, coach</p>
<p>Chennai Super Kings, who won their fifth IPL crown last year in a record-tying manner, would be the tournament favorites going into it.</p>
<p>Although Dhoni will captain the CSK once more, this season is likely to be his last since he chose to play for one more season after telling the supporters that he would return last year as a thank you from his dad.</p>
<p>Captain of the Delhi Capitals: Rishabh Pant</p>
<p>Ricky Ponting is the coach.</p>
<p>Pant will head the Delhi Capitals team once again when he returns to cricket in the IPL in 2024.</p>

<p>Shubman Gill, captain of the Gujarat Titans</p>
<p>Ashish Nehra, coach</p>
<p>Shubman Gill was named captain of the Gujarat Titans shortly after Hardik Pandya, the previous captain, left to join the Mumbai Indians during the IPL 2024 auction.</p>

<p>Captain of the Lucknow Super Giants: KL Rahul</p>
<p>Head coach: Justin Langer</p>
<p>Following an injury that kept him out of action halfway through the previous season, KL Rahul will also return to captain his LSG team.</p>
<p>For the rest of the 2023 competition, Krunal Pandya led the team, leading them to a third-place result.</p>

<p>Captain of the Royal Challengers Bangalore: Faf du Plessis</p>
<p>Andy Flower, coach</p>
<p>In the IPL2024, Andy Flower, who signed from LSG, will take over as head coach of RCB, replacing Faf du Plessis.</p>

Hyderabad’s Sunrisers<br />
Pat Cummins, captain</p>
<p>Daniel Vettori is the coach.</p>
<p>After Daniel Vettori was chosen head coach, SRH picked Pat Cummins as their new captain, taking Aiden Markram’s position.</p>
