The IPL is now the most prestigious T20 competition in the world, with players from all around the world competing each year. The BCCI established this competition in 2008 with the goal of providing a platform for young people to display their skills. Several cricketers have utilised this platform to create some Toing Moments and propel themselves to the next level in their careers.
The league began in 2008, and the 16th edition is now ongoing in India. There have been several Toing Moments during the tournament during the previous two weeks. This season, some senior cricketers have made comebacks and demonstrated that they can still #StayToing.
we will look at five veteran players who have had the finest transformations in IPL history. Here is a list of five changes that will leave you speechless.
1. MS Dhoni’s WOW Shots
MS Dhoni is now the face of the Indian Premier League. Because of Dhoni, the Chennai Super Kings enjoy huge support from the spectators at the stadiums no matter where they play.
Dhoni’s ability to knock sixes is one of the main reasons for his fan base. Dhoni has played some Toing shots in his career, whether it was in 2008, 2015, or 2023. His appearance has changed dramatically over the last 15 years, but his six-hitting ability has not.
2. Ravindra Jadeja’s #StayToing Beards
Aside from top-tier cricket, the IPL is noted for its glitz. You can come up with the most bizarre haircuts and beard arrangements, and the cricketers will Sport It. Ravindra Jadeja is one of the athletes who has astounded fans with his transformation.
When the IPL began, the Chennai Super Kings all-rounder was an under-19 player. He didn’t have much facial hair, but his beard styles received a lot of attention throughout the 2016 and 2017 seasons. His hairstyles were also highly fashionable.
3. Sport It Like Virat Kohli
Another cricketer who was an under-19 sensation when the IPL began is Virat Kohli. When he made his debut for the Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2008, he was pretty fat.
He has worked hard on his fitness and has shown to be one of the tournament’s strongest players. His manner and appearance have also evolved significantly. Many young Indians idolise him not just for his batting but also for his beard and hairstyles in order to #StayToing.
4. Rohit Sharma has had many Toing Moments
In terms of championship wins, Rohit Sharma is the most successful captain in IPL history. Sharma has assisted Mumbai Indians in winning five titles.
Sharma began his IPL career with the Deccan Chargers. In 2008, he was a promising newcomer. Throughout his storied IPL career, Sharma has generated several ‘wow’ moments with his great hitting, outstanding captaincy, hat-trick, and clever press conference statements.
5. Ageless Wriddhiman Saha’s Toing IPL Journey
Wriddhiman Saha, an Indian hitter, has played in every IPL season. While fans frequently discuss Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni’s health, it is important to remember that Saha has maintained his condition very well even at the age of 38.
He began his IPL career in 2008 with the Kolkata Knight Riders then joined Chennai Super Kings, Punjab Kings, and Sunrisers Hyderabad before joining the Gujarat Titans in 2022. Although his sides have changed, his batting and wicket-keeping instincts have always been the Toing Moment for everyone.
