Complete List of Tamil Nadu cricketers who are a part of IPL 2024

Tamil Nadu’s domestic cricket team has achieved a lot of success in the last few years. It is rare to see a side from Tamil Nadu crash out of a domestic tournament in the early rounds. The talent pool of Tamil Nadu is so good that there are many players from the state, who are playing in IPL now. 

The credit must also go to Tamil Nadu Premier League, which is an IPL-style tournament, but happening at a lower level without overseas stars. TNPL has elevated the game of many Tamil Nadu players, and here’s a quick look at the 12 players from the state, who are playing in IPL 2024.
