With the summit clash just around the corner, anticipation is building for what promises to be an edge-of-the-seat contest between two deserving finalists. DP World ILT20 Commentator and legendary Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh spoke about the league's steady growth, its rising competitiveness, and the strong connect it has built with audiences since its inaugural season.
Associated with the DP World ILT20 since Season 1, Harbhajan said, "This is the fourth year of the tournament and every season has brought something new. The expectations have grown year on year, and the quality of cricket has improved consistently. From where the league started to where it is today, the journey has been very satisfying. It shows how the DP World ILT20 has established itself as a strong and competitive league in a short span of time."
Speaking about the presence of Indian players in the league, Harbhajan added, "It's lovely to see Indian players like Dinesh Karthik and Piyush Chawla playing this season. In earlier editions, we also saw players like Yusuf Pathan and Robin Uthappa. Indian players who have recently retired are coming here to continue playing competitive cricket, and their experience adds great value to the league."

With the finals just around the corner, the anticipation is at an all-time high, and we are excited to broadcast this thrilling showdown to millions of enthusiasts across our network."
Reflecting on the league as a whole, the former Indian spinner noted, "The DP World ILT20 has become a great platform not just for international stars, but also for players to test themselves in a high-pressure environment.
