IPL is the best thing that has happened to Indian cricket: Dhawan
There's a month and a half to go for the 12th edition of the IPL, but the anticipation for the T20 event across the country, despite the lack of clarity over venues, is already warming up.
Shikhar Dhawan, who is making a switch back to the Delhi franchise this year, told CricketNext that the IPL has helped youngsters grow over the years.
"IPL is the best thing that has happened to Indian cricket. The first year I played for Delhi franchise, we had (Glenn) McGrath, AB de Villiers, Viru bhaiya (Virender Sehwag), Shoaib Malik and Daniel Vettori. I shared the dressing room with them and it was a really big deal for me".
"I feel that our youngsters are so confident because they have got big exposure and it helps a lot. They bring that experience in the Indian team like Kuldeep (Yadav) has done as well as (Yuzvendra) Chahal".
Dhawan was part of the Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2018, before shifting sides and being traded to his first ever franchise. In return, Shahbaz Nadeem, Abhishek Sharma and Vijay Shankar moved to Hyderabad.
