Because of the tournament’s craze in the world, there are several general knowledge experts, who ask questions related to the competition in their shows. Kaun Banega Crorepati: KBC is one of the most-followed GK quiz shows in India. During the first episode of the new season, host Amitabh Bachchan asked a male contestant a question related to IPL 2024 season. The question was:
“Who was the Most Valuable Player in IPL 2024 for his all-round performances?”

As per the show’s rules, there are four options given to the contestant for each question. Similarly, even this contestant received four options for the question, namely Travis Head, Pat Cummins, Sunil Narine and Virat Kohli. The contestant was confused and asked the host whether MVP and Player of the Season were the same thing.
Since he only had 45 seconds to answer, he decided to use the Audience Poll lifeline. 54% of the audience voted for Sunil Narine, which was the correct answer.
Who was the Most Valuable Player in IPL 2024?
The most valuable player in this year’s Indian Premier League was Kolkata Knight Riders all-rounder, Sunil Narine. The team’s new mentor Gautam Gambhir promoted Narine to the opener’s position, and he performed exceptionally well by scoring heaps of runs at an electric strike rate for his team.
Apart from his explosive batting, Narine was also among the best bowlers in the tournament. Hence, he earned a lot of points in the Most Valuable Player’s race, and unsurprisingly, he was adjudged the Most Valuable Player of the tournament. To add more to Narine’s happiness, his team Kolkata Knight Riders won the IPL championship as well.
