When the first T20I international was played in 2005 between Australia and New Zealand, no one would have thought that the format would become so big in about ten years' time and there would be the talk of the format being the most likely format to take cricket into Olympics.

Former South Africa captain Graeme Smith recently revisited India's first T20I against South Africa and he also spoke about how IPL has been a big reason behind helping T20 cricket reach high levels.
Former South African all-rounder Lance Klusener was on Monday named as the head coach of the Durban franchise for the first CSA T20 League.
