#2 Chance to witness all international stars perform at one stage
It has been every cricket fan’s dream to watch the greats of the games together on the field. Fans often fantasised what would happen when Sachin Tendulkar would bat alongside Sanath Jayasuriya or in recent times when AB de Villers bats with Virat Kohli.
Their wish was IPL’s command and no fan wanted to miss this opportunity. These international stars (both Indian and overseas) were the crowd pullers and every team ensured they have a strong pool of international stars.
Presence of overseas stars also meant that IPL was followed outside India. For instance, a person in South Africa would support Royal Challengers Bangalore just because of his love for AB de Villiers.
These stars also helped in elevating the standard of the overall game and this had a positive impact on the Indian youngsters who shared a dressing room with their heroes and tried to learn from them.
