The platform of “IPL” giving the chance to the young chaps from India and across the world to prove their mettle in this league and to hit the fame also which they are struggling to get in the national or domestic sides of there states.
The players from the world cricket perform in the “IPL” which in turn give the opportunity for young chaps like Pant, Shaw or Devdutt the Upcoming Star of India who hails from Karnataka to share the dressing room with these players and to get to know about how to handle pressure in these tough matches.
There are 8 teams with 8 different franchises playing in round-robin format later in the playoffs for the title of “IPL”. There are teams from the inception of “IPL” which I Believe are the best till date.
Here I’ve sorted up the teams according to elite standard:
Elite Level of teams- “CSK” “RCB” “KKR” “SRH”
Average level of teams- “DC” “RR” “MI” “KXIP”
There is no doubt that the teams from the “Elite Level” are best in the league.
