Rajkot: The much-maligned Indian Premier League (IPL) on Saturday got a dose of positive response when swing bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar credited the T20 League for improving him as a bowler at the death in limited overs cricket.

"IPL has helped me in improving my death bowling. I have been bowling the first few overs with new ball and at the end with the old one," said the India medium pacer ahead of tomorrow's third One-Day International against South Africa in Rajkot on Sunday.
