Australian opener Matthew Hayden described the Indian Premier League (IPL) as the beginning of an ‘incredible journey’ and said initial matches of the Twenty20 championship had set a very high standard for the rest of the tournament.

Hayden, who is playing for Chennai Super Kings, said the high-scoring matches in the tournament have raised the bar for every team. Hayden said the non-availability of foreign recruits for the entire tournament would not affect the IPL.

‘That’s the beauty of the IPL. You get to see almost all the top players in the world at some point in the tournament. I think, the IPL is the start of an incredible journey,’ he said.
