Steyn thrilled with SA hosting IPL

"Imagine what this will do for the youngsters of my country," South Africa pace spearhead Dale Steyn said.

"When I was growing up, there were no World Cups in South Africa. I was excited just by the opportunity to watch Jonty Rhodes diving all over the place on television.

"Now the kids of South Africa have a chance to go down to their local grounds and watch the best players in the world playing each other. There is already a real buzz in the country after the Test series against Australia," said the pacer.

"It will be interesting to see what can be achieved at such short notice," the 25-year-old told.

"The reception was amazing last year. We were really treated like rock stars everywhere we went," he said.
