1. Faster Recognition & Early Spotlight for Young Talent

Ek strong IPL season ke baad cricketers:
Straight national team ke radar me aa jate hain
Crores of fans unhe follow karne lagte hain
Media unhe highlight karti hai
Brands & sponsors unhe notice karte hain
IPL young talent ko overnight “known players” bana deta hai — jo pehle kabhi possible nahi tha.

ke roop me use karte hain.
Isliye many players like:
Hardik Pandya
Jasprit Bumrah
Suryakumar Yadav
Ravindra Jadeja
Rinku Singh
sab IPL se rise hue — aur phir national stars bane.
