IPL "Beyond all abilities"



“Indian premier league” started on the line of European football league, to monetize the avail madness over cricket among the Indian citizens. And the goal seems to be quite accomplished with the present uproar over the ongoing IPL series. It not only transformed Indian cricket management from a lean to racy management. Lalit Modi “the pioneer of this IPL series” has also changed the definition of cricket from earlier modified one day matches to commuted Twenty-twenty system, with the introduction of appealing cheerleaders, tucking more technology into the game (now earphones along with microphone are provided to players), preventing audiences from getting bored by the introduction of some interesting games in between the break. With the present style of living, dedicating a whole day for a one-day cricket match is beyond the potential taking care of all other daily jobs.
The IPL to some extent whether by its behaviour or by its success is more or less represent Indian economy. The way India is developing, the pace shown by the growth rate of India is comparable to the run rate of teams in the IPL matches. The amount of money involved in conducting IPL would never been in the dreams of sports experts. Thousand of crores of money is being earned from the advertisement rights and broadcasting rights. Involvement of celebrities and business tycoons in the event cause an artificial brouhaha over the IPL. One incident that was happened with MUMBAI INDIANS team recites the lucullan of the IPL. MI had a scheduled match on that day night and DWAYNE BRAVO was one of their key players, but the next day BRAVO had the match for his country and the venue for next day match was WEST INDIES. But Bravo has played the match for MI and the same evening a private jet was arranged for him on his way to West-indies. Never in the history of India after 1947, would India have been thought of dealing with this kind of lavish solutions.
Coming to player side, now INDIA (a developing economy) is offering a foreign cricket player (Flintoff and Pieterson) of European origin equivalent to the money earn by Gerrard or other football iconic players from their clubs of EPL and that’s too for playing six weeks only. From every angle they are earning and that’s accredited to the madness prevailing over cricket in the minds of Indians as well as to the population of India.
