Every season, we witness some of the relations of former Indian players ply their trade in the IPL. It is the same in the upcoming season, as well. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of three relations of former Indian players who will play in the upcoming IPL 2024.
1) Dinesh Karthik – Son-in-law of Susan Itticheria
Not many know that Dinesh Karthik is also related to a former India cricketer. This time, it is former India Women’s cricketer Susan Itticheria. Dinesh is married to the daughter of Susan.
Susan played seven Tests and 2 ODIs for Team India. Her last international game came about in 1978. On the other hand, DK will look to do well in IPL 2024 for RCB because the franchise has placed its trust in him.
2) Mayank Dagar – Nephew of Virender Sehwag
Mayank Dagar is the nephew of Virender Sehwag. He has played for multiple franchises and it will be the first time that he will be representing RCB.
It was before the auctions that RCB hired him in a trade deal from SRH. Mayank is a good left-arm spinner and can also contribute with the bat. This time around, RCB has a weak spin attack. Hence, Mayank has to step up. It is also a good opportunity for him to do well and fall under the radar of the Indian selectors.
3) Arjun Tendulkar – Son of Sachin Tendulkar
Arjun Tendulkar is one of the relations of former Indian players who will play in the upcoming IPL 2024. Son of the legendary cricketer, Arjun made his debut last season.
While he was decent with the new ball, he struggled in the other phases. Mumbai Indians will hope that he would have worked on his game. If Arjun can deliver with the bat, as well, it could help him cement his place in the side.
