I would like to start my blog with my greatest passion --CRICKET.. n nothing at present is bigger in cricket den IPL... IPL known as INDIAN PREMIER LEAGUE is a BPL (English football) of cricket, with largest fan following all over d world( in comparison to other T20 leagues,thanks to indians living all over d world.) IPL which was started just to stop ICL has become much larger den just a T20 league. money being poured in from all over the country n corporates, film stars all queuing up to buy a stake in every team. team auction which went in 2008. mumbai was sold highest at around 111 million USD,with rajasthan being sold for 67 Million USD. Nobody had guessed that rajasthan which was thought to be the weakest team will win,so IPL from the start went on to be super-hit. n just before IPL 3 season 2 more teams were sold for 320 million n 370 Million. now dat was a huge amount n suddenly BCCI became richer by 3400 crores( although money was to be paid in a period of 10 years n Kochi team was terminated last year due to non-payment of installments) but this thing certainly increased market value of all the teams.
then came IPL 4 , with two new teams added,players were put on auction again,many gud players were Retained by their teams. n gautam gambhir was picked for 2.4 million USD by kkr, the highest any player is getting as of now in IPL. what was more surprising was dat team India rejects rohit Sharma,robin uthhapa ,yusuf pathan,irfan pathan were sold for 2 Million usd (if this is the amount u r gettin for playin IPL) why would one like to play for Team INDIA??
N now we r in business end of IPL. all matches going on till final over? but Trp ratings are going down. why?? all stadia are getting good attendance, matches being interesting ( atleast much better den stupid bollywood movies n Daily soaps). why people are not watching it on TV?? many advertisers are now losing interest on IPL. what could be the reason??
1. The first and the biggest reason i can think of is too many matches in too less time. seriously dere are far too many matches for everybody's liking. Like football leagues, there should be matches only on SAT/SUN. less matches would keep viewers interestin and also good TRP ratings. if they have to reduce matches (as IPL has only 2 Months window) then they should, otherwise overdose of matches will kill IPL brand.
2. I think broadcasters should stop calling IPL as combination of cricket+bollywood. Bollywwod poeple don't know even ABC of cricket n when dey start commenting( or rather i should say start giving expert comments it looks very funny..
The money being poured in IPL is huge and it deserves it, India being a big market for cricket, its players should get good money . even though the money which Indian players are earning is only 10%-15%
of what footballers all over the world are earning. IPL will make Indian fringe players more competitive as for 2 months they will share dressing rooms with the biggest players of international cricket, getting tips from the best coaching staff, so it is good for Indian cricket.
