IPL 2024: Super Over combination of each team

Super Overs are the must-have entertainment in the T20 format. Whenever a match is tied in T20Is or T20 leagues like the IPL, a super over is played. Three pre-designated batters play six balls from a pre-determined bowler from the opposition and score as many runs as they can. However, if two batters are dismissed before the six balls are over, then the innings end. 

The other team then has to chase down the total with the same rules. If a super over is tied, then another super over is played, and then another until a result is reached. 

Therefore, in the IPL, teams prepare beforehand who their super over batters and bowlers will be and always have an option as a backup for all of them. With the IPL 2024 season nearing, we take a look at the super over combinations of all the ten teams for the season. 

Team-wise Super Over combinations for the IPL 2024 season:

1. Chennai Super Kings- Shivam Dube, Daryl Mitchell, Ruturaj Gaikwad; Deepak Chahar

The defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will have a lot to choose from when it comes to super over batting and bowling combinations. CSK bought power hitters Daryl Mitchell and Sameer Rizvi in the IPL 2024 auction and already has Shivam Dube, MS Dhoni, and Ruturaj Gaikwad for super-over purposes. 

As for the bowling duties in Super Over, CSK’s best bet would be Deepak Chahar, who is known for his variations and perfect yorkers. CSK might also go for Mukesh Choudhary or Mustafizur Rahman or even spinners like Mitchell Santner and Maheesh Theekshana if the need arises. With a brilliant cricketing mind like MS Dhoni leading CSK, there could be more combinations they can go for.
