Super Over craze took over the Indian cricket community last night during the high-voltage clash between India and Afghanistan, and fans would want the same during IPL 2024. The 10-team extravaganza will happen later this year, with the venue for the competition yet to be announced.
The bowlers are under pressure during the Super Over because the batters do not care much about wicket and try for a big shot regularly. Here’s a list of the one bowler who could bowl Super Over for the 10 teams in IPL 2024.
1. Jasprit Bumrah may bowl Super Over for MI in IPL 2024

2. Ravi Bishnoi may bowl Super Over for LSG in IPL 2024
Considering how well Ravi Bishnoi bowled in the Super Over yesterday, he will be a contender to do that job for LSG in IPL. He can trouble the batters with his pace and spin.
