The ten franchises have geared themselves up for the upcoming 15th season of the Indian Premier League, the commencement of which is just a week away.
While the majority of Indian players have started with their practices sessions, the overseas picks of the season who do not presently owe their commitment to play for their national sides have also arrived in the country.
All franchises, but the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) had, after announcing their respective captains for the season, also roped in the required personnel, including the coach, assistant coach, physios et al, who would offer their services during the imminent season.
The RCB, during a grand event at Bengaluru a few days ago, also named former South Africa skipper Faf du Plessis as their new skipper, who would succeed former India captain Virat Kohli after the latter decided to relinquish the post the previous year.
