The IPL Season 2 begins today and like all cricket fans,i am also excited.Actually,a couple of years back,i was against the concept of 20-20 cricket.i didnt like it.i felt test cricket and ODIs are the only forms of cricket that was watchable.i felt 20-20 was a game for sloggers.how wrong i was.i started liking 20-20 since the 20-20 world cup.i started watching a couple of games a i slowly became addicted to this format of the game.since then,i've been very keen on watching 20-20 cricket.my initial assumption that it was a game of sloggers was changed.
The IPL however did not create much interest in me when it was first announced,even though it was after the T20 WC.i felt it was some sort of a circus,with players from different countries playing for the same team.i felt the intensity while representing one's country will not b there.again,i was wrong.i could see some of the most entertaining cricket thorugh IPL Season1.players from same country represented different teams,players from different countries represented the same team.it was real fun.after a couple of games,i became a die hard fan of IPL and i was so sad when it came to an end.The happy news is that IPL is back again.All though the venue has shifted from Indian to South Africa,i hope the intensity will not be reduced and i hope to see some great matches like what i saw last year.I wish the IPL Season 2 all the best

i do not think this year the IPL will become as big a hit as last year because it has been moved to SA. the stadiums are only half filled as compared to last years matches for which it was next to impossible to get tickets!!
ReplyDeletealso i feel this year all the teams have taken more keen interest in selecting the cheerleaders and other entertainment programs than the actual players!
