Already there has been some breathtaking cricket and nail biting finishes. Most of the games have been thrillers which went till the last ball if not the last over.

All the teams this season possess the unique blend of experience and youth. The beauty of IPL is it presents a chance for young domestic and overseas players to rub the shoulders with the best in the business. These players come out as more matured ones after IPL which eventually benefits their respective national sides.
