DLF IPL- Income Premier League

DLF IPL- Income Premier League
How many people are crazy about IPL? The answer is many. There are various reasons behind it. For the celebrities, it is money and publicity. People like Preity Zinta and Shilpa Shetty, whose last film, people need time to recollect and Shah Rukh Khan, whose old age is affecting his days of romance. But the show must go on, irrespective of fields or sets.
Cricketers are at an advantageous state too. Players like Ganguly, Tendulkar are earning in lakhs by not only playing matches but jab advertisements hai toh kya baat hai. Even if players are not part of the Indian team, they are part the IPL Twenty20.
Many people are calling the Indian Premier League to be an International Premier League because it has shifted to South Africa. What people are ignoring or avoiding the fact that we have 213 cricketers playing, out of which 36% of them are international players. The story does not end here as 8 international coaches are training 8 teams. They are playing more important roles than the Indians. We have 28 Australians – our arch rivals in international cricket, in 8 teams. Players like Shane Warne and McCullum are captains of the two most popular teams. This shows how Indian PL has become International PL, where international players play dominant roles. It has already started. Shilpa Shetty said that she will learn cricket from Shane Warne.
Our players, irrespective of any game, claim that they play for INDIA. So, do our actors and actresses. But what are they during General Elections? Are they voting or playing IPL?
IPL have many cheerleaders, on-screen and off-screen. Kolkatans are cheering for Kolkata Knight Riders, Mumbaikars for Mumbai Indians etc. What do you think what is it leading to? There are few who are cheering for other regions.
So, one conclusion that can be drawn is that IPL is not completely about cricket but about earning/yearning loads of cash. This year will be remembered by many jobless people as a year of ‘recession’, but who will say so looking at the IPL, who has already claimed a profit of Rupees 200 crorers.
