Monty Panesar has paid tribute to the supporters of the Indian Premier League after the competition got back underway last month.
Some of the world’s best cricketers turn out in the IPL every single year and the tournament has provided followers of cricket with numerous memorable incidents.

With the 2023 season well underway and the world waiting to see Ben Stokes showcase his qualities, Panesar has praised the fans of the IPL and has spoken up on their eagerness to see England’s all-rounder make his mark.
“You know what they’re like in IPL teams, the fans are very loyal and it's similar to how football is here, so they expect a lot from their big guns and the guys who are on multi-million pound contracts,” said Panesar when speaking to Safe Betting Sites
“I’m sure we’ll see the best of Ben Stokes at some stage during this IPL and let's hope it's very soon.”
