With the opening match between Sachin Tendulkar's Mumbai Indians with Alviro Petersen's Highveld Lions, South Africa will prove their mettle once again hosting big and bigger sporting tournaments after the IPL 2009 and then the heavy weight FIFA World Cup 2010. The South African cricket fans are on new highs to catch the action at their home grounds. International stars like Sachin Tendulkar, Mark Boucher, M.S Dhoni, Jacques Kallis, Makhaya Ntini, Morkel, Hussey, Mills, Harbhajan Singh, Anil Kumble, Kieron Pollard, Ross Taylor, Cameron White, Dwayne Bravo and others feature in the Champions League T20 2010 making it the second largest international cricket event after the world cups. Since the first world cup of T20, people are restless to catch the T20 actions live or on their Television sets.
I am supporting Sachin Tendulkar's Mumbai Indians but I wish may the best team win.
