IPL Is Now One Of The Biggest Leagues In The World Across All Sports: Graeme Smith
Indian Premier League: Graeme Smith, the former South Africa captain currently serving as SA20 League commissioner, has hailed the growth of Indian Premier League (IPL), saying that the ten-team tournament is now one of the biggest leagues in the world across all sports.
In 29 IPL games, Smith amassed 739 runs, including hitting four fifties. Apart from turning out for Pune Warriors in the 2011 season, Smith played for the Rajasthan Royals (RR) under the legendary Shane Warne during the first three seasons of the IPL, including winning the trophy in the inaugural season in 2008.
"I think a lot of people forget the early years of the IPL. There were many things that had to go well for the league to grow the way it did. The IPL is now one of the biggest leagues in the world across all sports. In our first three seasons, we have seen strong growth in many areas at SA20 and hopefully that will continue,” said Smith during the SA20 India Day event.
