“I am no Test cricket buff but am very excited about the Twenty20 format which is more suited for youngsters and families. We not only have some of the best young players in the game today, but ours is also a well-balanced side. Yuvraj Singh is the best Twenty20 player in the world and Brett Lee is the fastest bowler in the world. It was so exciting to watch Yuvraj hit six sixes in an over in the T20 World Cup. Our top players are regulars in their respective national teams. I expect King’s XI Punjab to win the trophy.”

Preity Zinta’s interview in which she talks about her team — King’s XI Punjab, Yuvraj Singh, Brett Lee and shared her excitement about being a part of the most talked-about event in world cricket – Indian Premier League.

Manoj Tiwary says: “Sometimes I think why it should happen to me. But then, God has been kind to me, giving me money in the form of IPL contract (with the Delhi Daredevils). I was certain that I’d have made it to the Indian team for Ireland and England and the T20 World Cup had I not got injured.”

Shane Warne says: “Though Twenty20 is called batsman’s game, bowlers can turn it around. Yes, spinners will be hit but often we saw good performances by them too. They have evolved and I feel they certainly have a big role in this format of cricket too.”

The chairman of IPL ie Indian Premier League Mr Lalit Modi told BBE sports that he would be more than happy to move his IPL season forward if it makes sure that the England players are keen in playing for IPL teams.This statement made it possible for the England’s top players to feature in the lucrative Indian Twenty20 series in the future.

This comes after English cricket boss Giles Clarke said no England player would want to go to the IPL. “We are not interested in people playing in the IPL,” Clarke said. “The IPL is a domestic competition and we’re not going to alter our season for a domestic season in another country,” he said.

Former Indian Cricketer Ajay Jadeja had to say these words on Indian Premier League – DLF IPL.

“Cricket cannot be marketed. Crowd in the grounds has to believe what they are seeing is real and not a reality show. Fast paced exciting colourful cricket is a grand idea but in India cricket fans will take time to adjust to the concept. Cricket crazy fans in the country associate themselves with the Indian cricket team and they want to watch Indian team playing.”
