Kohli hits fifty as RCB open IPL with impressive win

Twelve England players are set to feature in the latest edition of the IPL.

Former England white-ball captain Jos Buttler will hope to find form after a disappointing World Cup as he returns to Gujarat Titans, where he is joined by batter Tom Banton and left-arm seamer Luke Wood.

Salt is joined by Jacob Bethell at RCB, alongside a new addition in middle-order batter Jordan Cox, though neither Bethell nor Cox played against Sunrisers.

Seamer Jofra Archer is back at Rajasthan Royals, while all-rounder Jamie Overton returns to Chennai Super Kings.

All-rounder Will Jacks will look to build on a promising winter at Mumbai Indians, while Liam Livingstone and Brydon Carse are at Sunrisers with Payne. Neither played in the opening match.

Batter Ben Duckett had been signed by Delhi Capitals but has pulled out to play in the County Championship as he looks to ensure he keeps his place in the Test team after a lean Ashes, while all-rounder Sam Curran has been ruled out of playing for Rajasthan Royals with an injury.
