Just Like How IPL Did For India, SA20 Has Made South Africa More Competitive, Says Kallis
The fourth season of SA20 comes at a time when the men’s team continued its good run in the ICC tournaments in 2025 – a semifinal finish in the Champions Trophy was followed by winning the World Test Championship (WTC) for the first time. Before that, South Africa had entered the semi-finals of the 2023 ODI World Cup and became runners-up in the 2024 T20 World Cup.
"That's huge, as it's not a coincidence that we've suddenly become really competitive in these ICC tournaments. As I said earlier, we were only hoping that something like this could come to South Africa a lot earlier because we saw what IPL did for Indian cricket. There's a reason why Indian cricket has become so strong, it's because of the IPL," said Kallis to IANS in a virtual interaction ahead of the SA20 season four set to happen from December 26 to January 25.
