10 Things that define the IPL

2. International stars and the veterans hit back:

The very essence of the IPL is the fact that the young domestic talent get a chance to rub shoulders with the international greats. IPL pioneered in this era of T20 leagues where the international stars take centre stage. The involvement that the international players show and the emotions that are on display is enthralling to see. The chants of ABD when AB de Villiers walks in to bat at Bengaluru is a moment worth reliving again and again! The stars of yesterday do have more to give to the game of cricket and what better platform than IPL to do so! From players like Tendulkar to Dravid, Hayden to Hussey and Ponting to Watson, all have played IPL after retiring from international cricket. Getting a chance to witness the legends in action all over again is certainly something that defines the IPL.
