The real challenge lies in Season 2

August 21, 2008

Sundar Raman, the CEO of the very successful IPL, has already started for the next year’s IPL tournament along with the upcoming T20 Cup to be played in the next month. Tying up with several big vendors and leading sponsors, the CEO also confirmed that they are also in talks with 2 major sponsors.

He told us that IPL committee has already bagged a 30 crore deal for the next IPL tournament. Now readers, make no mistake about the fact that these guys are indeed doing and dealing with a very successful and comprehensive business called the IPL.

Happy with the first year’s performance Raman said that IPL proved to be a great success because they were able to promote it properly and the quality of cricket played in this tournament was outstanding.

But he points out that their real challenge will be the next year’s championship after so much of expectation.

T20 twice in a year..a pain or a gain

May 26, 2008

Lalit Modi is not going to stop anywhere. The head of the so called great cricketing leagues is planning to organize the marathon tournament twice in a year from 2011. This is simply a classic example of fulfilling one desire and ambition. He is not aware by this move he is going to do an irreparable damage to the gentle men's game. The International Cricket Council is only going to support this move as they as looking to add some huge amount of dolors to their kitty. The ICC can't even think of apposing this move because of millions of dollors flowing to their pocket as well.
But this marathon event will curtail the international cricketing calender up to a great extent and with the growing popularity and increasing money in IPL, every player would love to be the part of this form of cricket.
But Mr.Modi is not bother about the vintage Ashes rivalry, the indo pak rivalry, all this will vanish due to the IPL monster.
So Mr Modi for the sake of personal interest just don't ruin the game other wise our coming generation will no longer take any interest in original form of the game which is also called the test of one's character.

Problem with IPL......when its going to be OVER?

May 1, 2008

This BCCI's child has problems right from its birth, and the latest addition is the departure of some Aussies and New Zea landers from the game in between, to represent their country in the forthcoming tours. and soon the South African will be joining them. Thus creating a problem with the much hyped league.
The main reason for this problem is the non consideration of IPL by ICC in their calender years. Thus letting this IPL child in trouble in its first year itself.

Still, IPL has a long way to go to become a successfully sports league as English premier League, the worlds most professional sports league. It has to act smartly and wisely to set an example to most of the to be followed cricket leagues in the world.

Is IPL going to be a success?


If you are an Indian then you ought to be familiar with two things; Hindi films & Cricket. Cricket, which is considered as a religion in this country, is not only a game but many more than that. When ODI was introduced to the cricket loving people the organizers were not sure about its success but slowly we have seen how this form of the game has conquered this nation and don’t forget the fact that Test cricket hasn’t yet lost it’s old charm & exuberance. But here we will be discussing about something which is in the centre of discussion for various reasons. Yes, I am talking about nothing but IPL, the hottest thing in India nowadays.

Well, you can say it the latest and shortest version of International Cricket which has entered the craziest venue of International Cricket, India. The IPL actually is a 20/20 cricket league which is played by professional cricketers all around the world. Mainly promoted by BCCI, this format of the cricket games hopes to bring lots of money in ICC’s bank account. There are 8 teams playing in this league: Kings 11 Punjab, Bangalore Royal Challengers, Chennai Super Kings, Deccan Chargers, Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals, Kolkata Knight Riders & Delhi Daredevils. Many celebrities from other field of society have also entered the stage of IPL.Leading Bollywood stars like Shahrukh Khan, Priety Zinta and businessmen like Mukesh Ambani & Vijay Malliya have their own teams.

Now as we know that the people of India love the game of cricket more than anything we can predict that in the initial stages people will surely come to see the IPL 20/20 not only to see this new format but to see the other aspects of this game. You know I personally feel that 20/20 cricket is like a package of entertainment because in the ground you will get a vibrant surroundings with live performances. But it will be too early to comment anything about the future of this game. Let see how people response to this format of the game, which so far looks good. But whether 20/20 will leave permanently? Well, nobody can answer that question now. Look, one true thing is that today we are living in a very fast world and many people don’t have time to see a 5day test match, they want quick entertainment. 20/20 is like a hot burger and some people will surely find it interesting. But this is too early to say something final about the success of IPL.
