Indian Premier League

I, many a times,think that glamourisation of 20-20 cricket match is outcome in the form of Indian Premier League.First It was started by Shri Kapil Dev as Indian Cricket League,which died its death by its own,to a greater extent,seeing money,glamour,BCCI killed that body.Any way its not the question but to think it seriously,is it really yielding entertainment,excitement.Answer is Yes.A big number of youths are watching it in stadiums and on their TV sets,but where had gone the patriotic feelings,when Indian vs Pakistan or Australia one dayers match are being played. Yes that is the real excitement with every ball and more exciting climbing ladders in last overs or even in last over when 12 runs in 3 balls against Pakistan and blood run fast in artieries and heart beats when Indian team wins or loose.
Now IPL has become wealth game,excitement,fast, but too long because money is involved for cricketers, who being auctioned earns auction money more than what they earn for their country in a year.Thats why players are seeking retirement from first class,test,20-20 match from their country, but play in IPL with all happy mood.
I do remember one cheer leader who disclosed that these girls were sexually exploited in nights by all.Beyond doubt this is worst form of one time called Gentlemen game.Team Owners/Co owners earn a lots but not loose.Ad income sharing,TRP and ad income for TV channel and sponsore's crores and crores income.For many including me, IPL has no meaning and very seldom i do see any match,reason given above.Cricket batting and bowling techniques which were being displayed by Sachin like international fame cricketers had gone but objective is all fast without techniques.Obviously this is not techniques displaying game in IPL but what a consumer gets in return.
Obviously the teams owners are industrialists,manufacturers or in service industry,raises their prices.In fact all the huge expenses are born by Indian public,who get nothing but pay a huge amount in the form of high ever increasing prices almost every two- three months.In 1947 one Rupee was equalent to one US Dollar and now 55 rupees against one dollar.We are bound to afford/spoile country;s economy but wastage of money in IPL form of cricket tournament is necessary by a class.
Is it necessary.Where are our people and country going.Indian poor public affording their hard earned money for a class,who get an autograph in a note of 1000 rupee and tear it off in two pcs.But that one thousand rupees can feed,shelter and clothing a family.
