8 teams, 20 overs/team, 45 Days, top Players from International cricket, ruthless cricket for 3 hours and above all Mad Crowd who can watch cricket for their whole life. IPL. The battle between the ball and bat that can make the crowd go crazy will start in a day. For the next one and half months, nothing will occupy the front page of the newspaper, no Telengana issues, no Women's Bill, no politics, no budget controversies except for IPL. IPL will be the talk of the country.
Unlike any other game, cricket has varieties in it which makes it the unsung religion of India. 20-20 cricket is no divine like test cricket, it doesnt create emotional innings like ODIs, still it has its own advantage of pulling in the crowd. Endless hitting over the ropes, Unexpected fall of wickets, Players running themselves out in critical situations, breath-taking catches, nail- biting last overs , dancing cheer girls, all make people more interested towards this format.
Eventhough I am not a big fan of T20 cricket, but to see people from all countries playing for their franchises makes me believe that this is a good platform for players to mingle with varieties of culture. This is a good positive sign for international cricket. Its glad to see when Indian and pakistan players hug each other, Aus and English players pump their fists. This sportsmanship gets carried even when they play international cricket against each other.
In the next 45 days, IPL will become regular in daily life of every Indian. It will assure guaranteed endless entertainment for people around the world. So people, be ready to get addicted.
