Virat Kohli says there’s a special connection with IPL for players and fans ahead of 17th edition

Former India captain Virat Kohli has praised the Indian Premier League (IPL) as a challenging and distinctive tournament that provides players with new obstacles every day. Kohli highlighted the camaraderie shared among players from different countries during the IPL, which is set to begin on March 22.

Kohli emphasized the uniqueness of the IPL in allowing players to interact with teams from around the world on a regular basis, something that doesn’t happen in bilateral series or ICC tournaments. He spoke about the diverse challenges players face in the IPL, creating magical moments throughout the tournament.

The RCB player expressed his fondness for the IPL, citing the camaraderie and connection that exists between players and fans alike. Kohli, who has been associated with the IPL since its inception in 2008, is gearing up to lead RCB once again in the 2024 edition of the league, where he will strive to continue his record-breaking performances.

As the excitement builds for the upcoming IPL season, fans are eagerly anticipating the start of the T20 league, which Kohli believes has a special place in the hearts of players and supporters alike. With the tournament set to kick off later this month, cricket enthusiasts can look forward to witnessing the thrilling competition and camaraderie that the IPL brings every year.
