IPL 2017: 5 reasons why the IPL is a huge hit

#5 Highest quality of cricket on display

Young Indian talents like Sanju Samson caught the attention of the world audience and made their way into the national team through the IPL

When it was first launched, the Indian Premier League was looked upon as a fun tournament with a mix of cricket and Bollywood. However, as the seasons progressed, the tournament has taken shape as a very fiercely competitive T20 league.

With all the top international stars available for the tournament and playing with a lot of freedom, the matches consistently throw up exciting contests, exceptional batting and bowling displays, moments of brilliance on the field and tight finishes, often of a higher standard than seen in international T20 matches.

After the razzmatazz, glitz and glamour, and once the ball rolls, it is serious cricketing action of the highest quality that has kept the followers of the game glued to each and every season.

The IPL is a dream destination for many top international stars who look forward to showcasing their skills and earning a fortune in quick time. The Indian Premier League has also become a platform for young talents to catch the attention of the national selectors and make an easy route to the Indian team.
