Yo, peep this! Saba Karim just spilled the tea on how Lalit Modi was dreamin' up T20 leagues back in '97-98, long before the IPL was even a thought. While cricket was all about them slow jams, Lalit was schemin' a fast-paced vibe, tryin' to pitch a Bengal crew to the BCCI. Fast forward to 2008, and bam! The IPL dropped, just like Lalit envisioned, and now RCB and SRH are ready to rumble in the 19th round, fo' shizzle!

Quick rundown
