The Indian Premier League chairman Arun Dhumal has come up with a big statement when he was asked if IPL has any kind of threat from the new and emerging franchise T20 Leagues. Dhumal made a very hard and clear stance while talking about it and went on to say that the Indian Premier League would never have any kind of threat from the new T20 leagues.
"We don't see anyone else as our competition, there is none even close to IPL. Our best wishes to all the boards starting their own T20 leagues, but I don't think any of them can be a threat to IPL,” said Dhumal to Reuters.
Although this statement from Dhumal drew a lot of various interesting and different reactions on social media. Fans immediately took to Twitter and came up with a lot of responses after Dhumal’s statement on the competition of IPL with other leagues.

Later on, while talking about the recently-concluded edition of the Indian Premier League, Dhumal mentioned the exciting and thrilling matches that were played throughout the entire season.
"It has been a phenomenal success, and largely because of the sheer competitiveness of this year's tournament. Most of the matches went down to the wire and there were plenty of last-over thrillers. We got a phenomenal response from the fans. Our viewership grew manifold and our broadcast and digital partners both are excited,” said Dhumal.
Furthermore, he also cleared the stand of the Indian Cricket Board on the concern of increasing the salary cap for the franchises from the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League.
"We will have to consult the franchises and team owners before taking a call. While we still have 10 months before the next IPL, a lot of discussions will have to take place before anything like that happens,” he concluded.
