England batsman Ravi Bopara, who leaves to do the national duty after starring for Kings XI Punjab, has described his experience of playing in the Indian Premier League "as one of the best things" he has done in life.

"There was a little speech for me, I also said something back to them `This is one of the best things that I have ever done, playing the IPL, with you guys it has been amazing. Carry on the good work'," Bopara said recalling his farewell before joining England team to play against the West Indies at home.
