Indian vs Overseas Player Classification
Understanding the distinction between Indian and Overseas players is key to exploring these squads:
IND Indian Players
Definition: Players eligible to represent India internationally.
Role: Provide the core of every IPL team. Essential for squad balance and domestic representation.
Key Advantage: Unlimited selection in playing XI
Examples: Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, Rohit Sharma
OS Overseas Players
