IPL cricket

There was a time when cricket was classed as a gentlemen’s game but through the years as test cricket burned itself out, focus shifted to hard hitting and defensive bowling and with no replacement for famous cricketers like Ian Botham, Richard Hadlee and Imran Khan from the 1980′s, India’s last sporting success was the world cup in 1983.
Cricket has altered significantly ever since then with the introduction of Indian premier League (IPL) in April 2008. Infusing new life into the game was not only motivating for Indians but a very good sign for cricket fans around the world.
The introduction of T20 format cricket was originally introduced in Wales and England to woo back crowds and promoters and the BBC, realising the enormous following in the UK created its own version of league matches in the T20 format and referred to it as the Indian Premier league or IPL.
With players from different countries in each team the idea was bound to be a big success and promoted wonderfully by its then chairman Mr Lalit Modi, its is actually the very first sporting event carried over to ‘YouTube’ to reach audiences all over the world.
business people, actors, in fact anyone who can afford to sponsor and pay the players own the teams and IPL cricket players are in fact auctioned making it unique among other cricketing events.
The IPL has undoubtedly helped bring cricket to the forefront of sport once again and at the same time developed a sense of unity and trust among international cricketers who have never performed together before.
Now viewed by more than a billion people around the world, the IPL cricket league is now one of the most awaited events of the year and seventy percent of viewers are reportedly from Pakistan and India alone where it is considered much more of a religion than a sport.
