IPL

IPL....... The name says it all.well,this summer would be a big treat for all those cricket lovers in India.Surf any news channel you would either see the King Khan or Zinta with her cute dimple or business tycoon Vijay Mallaya or some celeb from the state endorsing their respective teams.Hmmm this has been too tiring & disheartening.There are other important issues to be focussed & discussed.This version of the game has got more to do with power,money & more money.If promoting good cricket was the intention then why should IPL be started & promoted like ICL's rival?Too much of money running on all these players.Unlike international cricket whether a player performs or not he would still smile his way back to the bank.If promotion of gentleman's game was the intention then why rope in international players & other big stars of Indian cricket who are already self accomplished in their own right.All these unnecessary hype by the media & big stars for all these years have sent many games in India to the grave & the recent one was our very own national game,hockey!Now IPL would be a final nail in the coffin 0f these games.We cant blame the players of other games if they don't perform well,because not many recognize their effort or hard fight.The saddest part is that when our cricketers are in deep pool of money,the other players find it difficult to even support their family.Whom should be blamed?I don't know.It's high time we people give at least quarter percent of our attention & support to other deserving games.Whether IPL would survive or not we should wait and watch,but surely those players & team owners would make a biggggggggggggggggggggggg profit out of it!!! Is cricket still a gentleman's game?!?!?! I WONDER!!!
