IPL Has Helped Overseas Players To Get Used To Intimidating Crowds In India: Nasser Hussain
The Indian Premier League: The Indian Premier League (IPL) has played a crucial role in helping overseas cricketers acclimatise to the pressure of playing in front of intimidating Indian crowds, said former England captain Nasser Hussain said ahead of the 2026 Men's T20 World Cup starting next month in India and Sri Lanka.
"As an opposition, you are also taking on the crowd in India. Recently, in the World Cup semi-final between Australia and India Women, you could see from the crowd interaction that once the momentum starts going India’s way, it becomes very difficult to drag it back.
"The only thing I would add is that, because of the IPL, many foreign players have played in these stadiums, experienced that atmosphere, and understood the challenges and pressures that come with it. In the old days, someone like me turning up in India and witnessing something like Sachin Tendulkar walking out to bat and the crowd reaction, you could see the fear in the bowlers’ eyes.
