I HATE IPL

Its IPL season.... This is examination season too...

I don't know why media give such a big hype on IPL. We all know that IPL is just nothing but a money making game. The Govt nor us gain a penny out of it. But many say it is just an entertainment. Film is also entertainment. We have an emotional attachement with that. We like our heroes doing romance, fight, comedy. I don't who is playing for which team. Many of the player names I haven't heard before.

I dont know how in a T20 a planning or strategy could be made against the opposition team. It doesn't involve team work. Its about "HIT every ball that you face to the fence". Bowlers and fielders play very less significant role. We Indians love mathematics. We are the ones who introduced the number Zero to the world. Thats why we love cricket. Its all about statistics and numbers and we like it. Moreover our ancestors who lived 100 years ago, followed britishers in everything they do. Even the word "company" in sentences like "pls give me company" evolved when britishers asked them to drink for the sake of East India company.

IPL Team has nothing to do with the city name that they have as a tag. Because many from the team are not from the city. How many players know about the city that they represent.The Players are only loyal to the firm that had acquired him.

And again many argue that IPL brings the talent for exposure and many new players are identified for the National Team. It has been three years since inception of IPL, Can you point out one single player who came to national team??? Also there is enough domestic cricket and Ranjit trophy to identify talents. If this is to identify talent among young, then why players above the age of 35 there in all teams?? Some old horses are worn out and the new players cannot learn anything from them.

We cannot blame the players for making so much money. And of course it is their hardwork and toil that had brought them to this level. But I have a very big doubt, how come in many international matches they become unfit to play because of injury but not in IPL ???

Cricket in India had destroyed other forms of games. How many of them know that Hockey World cup was held in India Last month??? Many come to sports only to get a govt.job through sports quota. Even if those with real passion come forward, they are being bullied by others with money power. Recently I read a news that a woman sports athlete was sexually assaulted by her own coach.

I m not against IPL, but make this as a sports season. Bring all talents in various sports and games on to the dias. Then this would turn out to be Indian olympics. This also would bring many more sponsorers and even more money!!!!Its true that it cannot be made immediately, but step by step it can implemeted. Already people from urban rich class are closely following Football & Races. There is a saying that "a lamp burns brighter before fading out". Cricket is soon going to fade out. People will soon get bored of the overdose.
