Former India captain Virat Kohli has hailed the Indian Premier League (IPL) as a tough and unique tournament that poses newer challenges for players every day as they play in different conditions in different cities and against different teams.

At the same time, IPL allows the players to share camaraderie despite coming from different countries. The fans too have developed a connection with the IPL as they wait eagerly for the T20 league every year. Kohli, who plays for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Indian Premier League, said as players take part in bilateral series and ICC tournaments, which are one country against another, they don't get enough chances to interact with players from other teams.

However, the IPL provides that opportunity, but the beauty of the event is the challenges it throws at the players every day, said Kohli ahead of the 2024 edition of the IPL starting on March 22.
