A day after pacer Dale Steyn’s comment on IPL created a furor on social media, the former South African international on Wednesday took to social media to clarify his statements and said what he said was taken out of context and he did not intend to degrade, insult or compare any leagues.
Steyn had said he found playing in leagues like Pakistan Super League ‘more rewarding’ as a player compared to the Indian Premier League. Steyn explained that there is too much focus on money in the IPL and ‘cricket gets forgotten’, while the game remains the central focus in other leagues.
