IPL first of its kind Entertainment Capsule from BCCI (read it as Lalit Modi) has blocked large chunk of time in every cricket lover's calendar..
IPL has pioneered a new epic for spiced up version of cricket (T20), where cricket is married to entertainment - "CRICKETAINTMENT"... It cohered the ties between Cricket and Bollywood... It erased rivalry between nations... and modern day cricket is presented to the spectators at its best...
Overflowing Moolah, Glamorous Team owners, unmatched media coverage, Team anthems, albums, mascots, brand ambassadors... Nothing wrong if one thinks that IPL is larger than the game itself...
Everything started with McCullum's firework and Hussey's elegance... other highlights being Gambhir's and MSD's consistence... rise of a new international superstar - Shaun Marsh and numerous local Stars like Badrinath, Dhawan, Yusuf, Asnodkar, Abishekh Nayar, YOMI and many more.. Old war horses Pidgee, Sanath and Warnie didn't disappoint us (Our very own Little Master is yet to put up a remarkable performance though)... and not to forget fiery return of Rawalpindi Express... it was indeed a treat to our eyes...
Wait... IPL Epic was not just the battle of leather and willow... There is more action and drama to it... It was a shock to see tears pouring out of India's most "Aggressive" bowler Sreesanth, and then there comes team politics -- Mallya Vs RCB and then the latest verbal dual - Gilli Vs Viru... All these pretty much indicates that IPL is the best reality show in Indian Television and it justifies the shooting TRP of this "CRICKETAINTMENT"...
Now coming back to the game... It has lived up to prenomination of Cricket being unpredictable... The strongest batting line-up on the paper, a team comprising of Gilli, Symo, Afridi, Gibbs, and Rohit Sharma is at the bottom of the table and a team sans superstars is heading the table... Look at the current standings...
