The Lanka Premier League is a vital competition for Sri Lankan cricket. Although there are still some instabilities, to an extent, the organizers have been successful in organizing the competition every year. Going forward, this tournament will play an important role in defining the future of Sri Lankan cricket. The highest point for any franchise league to reach is the Indian Premier League. Interestingly, some of the winners of IPL 2024 are also participating in the ongoing LPL. The Kolkata Knight Riders‘ players have been in fine form for a while now. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of two talented IPL 2024 winners who are playing in the Lanka Premier League 2024.
1) Dushmantha Chameera – Kandy Falcons
Chameera is an important part of the Sri Lankan setup in the white-ball formats. However, injuries have hampered his career and he is yet to realize his talent fully. Nevertheless, teams across the globe identify his talent and try to give him chances often. When Gus Atkinson pulled out, KKR therefore signed Chameera as the replacement.
However, he did not get a lot of games because Starc was the preferred choice. In the match he did play, he could not do well and hence, he had to be replaced. Kandy Falcons will hope for him to do well.
2) Rahmanullah Gurbaz – Colombo Strikers
Rahmanullah Gurbaz is one of the IPL 2024 winners who are playing in the Lanka Premier League 2024. He has been playing cricket non-stop for a while now. He was on the bench for a long time in IPL 2024. However, when his turn came up, he did not disappoint his fans and the management.
Gurbaz was adequate in replacing Phil Salt, who had a fine season for KKR. Colombo Strikers will hope that Gurbaz will also bring the same luck to them this year.
