England defeated Pakistan by five wickets on Sunday to lift the 2022 T20 World Cup. In the past few weeks, there have been debates if IPL is the best T20 league on the planet. Here, we take a look at a tweet posted after the 2022 T20 World Cup shows why IPL is the best T20 league right now.
A lot of players in the England Team have IPL experience
The Indian Premier League is an excellent platform not just for Indian cricketers but also for overseas stars. In the past, we have seen players like Shane Watson and David Warner hone their skills in IPL and then go on to do well for their country.
In the recent England team that lifted the 2022 T20 WC, too, there are many players who have played in the IPL. Barring newcomers Phil Salt and Harry Brook, the other nine players in the England XI have played in the IPL before or are active at the moment. This might have helped the team to do well in the tournament.
IPL is the best T20 league at the moment
With India losing to England in the semis, many started blaming IPL for the loss of quality in Indian cricket. The fact that India has not won a T20 World Cup since IPL started in 2008 was a debate point for many. However, with as many as six active IPL cricketers in the England XI that won the World Cup, the quality of IPL is now again for display. A Twitter user talked about the same. Here is a look at the tweet:
6 players from IPL in this WC winner side. Again proves IPL is much better than those Micky mouse leagues 🙂
