“Our commitment towards the DLF Indian Premier League remains resolute and long term, given the immense synergies involved. We will continue to support the league that has ushered in a unique new era of cricket and entertainment for a global audience,” Rajeev Talwar, group executive director of DLF Limited, said in a statement.
Talwar also hoped the second edition starting from April 10 will be a bigger success than the inaugural edition.

“The DLF Indian Premier League is here to stay and has already carved out a distinct niche for itself in the international cricketing calendar. I am happy that India’s largest real estate company, DLF will continue to play an integral part in helping develop the league into a truly world – class platform for showcasing and developing cricketing talent globally,” he said.
