IPL Cricket Live

IPL Cricket LIVE is breaching new boundaries and what better illustration of this than the fact that Iceland, which has a population of just 3.38 lakhs, is currently enthusiastically taking up the sport. Until lately the Nordic country has been obsessed with the sport of football, after their national team's amazing run to the quarterfinals of the UEFA Euro 2016 followed by qualification for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

In a first-ever for this tiny nation, a spinner from Iceland, Kató Jónsson will attend trials at Kings XI Punjab with a view of signing a season-long deal. Jónsson could become the first Icelandic cricketer to play in the Indian Premier League, getting still another puzzle spinner from developing cricketing nations to play in the league.

"This is what the IPL is all about," Kings XI Punjab CEO Satish Menon told the official website of the franchise. "This proves that cricket is truly a global sport that knows no boundaries. To have a cricketer from Iceland in IPL would be historic and a testament to our belief that opportunity doesn't discriminate."
