See, we all consider IPL as a benchmark. Yes, we all learn from this. IPL has set such high standards and it is just the progenitor of all the leagues that have started after IPL. We are just a small player in that entire ecosystem, but I can proudly say that we are the IPL of legends. Raheja further said- Whichever player retires from IPL, we start with him. Tournament is the story of DK (Dinesh Karthik), Shikhar Dhawan, Mohammad Kaif. There are a lot of these cricketers, they finish and we start. That’s why I will never compete, I don’t even want to challenge the IPL. I just want to complement it.
