The Indian Premier League

The IPL season has gripped the entire cricket loving fans. And I am a no exception to it. Its good to see the entire flavour of cricketing talent producing some of the best moments in the history of the game. And its not simply about cricket, its about how best the game can be & how great excitement it can generate. In today's world where everything is changing for the better, thanks to developing technology, the demand for speed & effectiveness has been a prime guding factor. The need of the hour is the best & not just the good. IPL deed just that. It has also succeeded in developing a unique bond between the erstwhile rival players. Its good to see Gibbs & Gilchrist as the dreaded opening partners. And the majestic pair Sachin & Jayasuriya is a treat to watch. The adrenalin is sure to get a boost & how one cannot help to take deep interest in watching devastating plunder of bowling attack. Also, you realize, the very vagabond attacker, Hayden is indeed a great stroke player, & you now begin to praise the strokes he now plays for the Chennai team, which earlier you criticsed when it was hit against the Indian bowling attack.
The whole world seemed to be engrossed in the Cricketing world & even the housewives dont seem to relent the matches their husbands watch with keen interest. There is IPL everwhere. From the TV set, gossips, newspapers, advertisements, betting, & in the people's heart. You talk to a very good friend & first thing you ask him is who is his favourite team. You become his fan in heart, if he supports your own team, or else, you will look at him with contempt. Sure shot, the history of cricket has not seen so much enthusiasm in any other form (except the World cup, but then one has to wait too long- for 4 years) but IPL has surely changed the face. Surely, its all about money, but the spectator has no problem if in return, he is treated with amazing talent show in short time. T20 is much adored than the One dayers, you save time, get to see more of blistering cricketing strokes, more enthusiasm in the game & more amazement in the players & the viewers. What else could one wish for a sporting entertainment other than IPL. And not to mention the glamorous cheer-leaders, you do enjoy every boundary hitting shot- 4 or 6, they are always there to cheer for you. The best part, however I like about this great game is that it brings the entire world together for a talent show & internally feel happyf or the Indian fans & their love for the game & their gift to the fans in the world- the Indian Premier League.
Cheers
