IPL 2024: Best overseas XI
The destructive duo of Sunil Narine and Travis Head will open the innings. Both left-handed batters have been in phenomenal touch scoring runs at a brisk pace. Youngster, Jake-Fraser McGurk comes in next. Making his debut in IPL, McGurk showcased his range of shots as he looked threatening against both pace and spin bowling.

The Australian pacer has scalped 15 wickets in 13 matches so far. Cummins can also break the record of Shane Warne for ‘Most wickets as IPL captain’ in a single edition.
The pace trio of Trent Boult, Mustafizur Rahman and Matheesha Pathirana will provide a lot of variety in the bowling attack. Afghanistan’s star spinner Rashid Khan will be the lone premier spinner in the Overseas XI of IPL 2024.
