Indian Premier League(IPL) has changed the way cricket is being played over past 100 years in just 3 years. IPL has started in 2008 and it was an instant and phenomenal success. IPL was the brain child of Mr. Lalit Modi who is arguably one of the most famous and discussed personalities these days. The first version of IPL got off to an exciting start when Brenden Macculum of Kolkata Knight Riders smashed an unbeaten 152 against Royal Challengers Bangalore and it reached its fitting climax as Rajasthan Royals beat Chenni Super Kings on the last ball. What an astonishing tournament it was!
The second edition of IPL(2009) had to shifted to South Africa due to some political problems in a very short notice, still it was a very successful tournament by any means of imaginations. Ironically, the Deccan Chargers and Royal Challengers who were last and second last in IPL 1 turned out to be the champion and runners up in IPL2. You can well imagine the competition from this very fact.
IPL3 is going on successfully again on Indian soil in 2010. People all over the world are going crazy! TRP of the soaps are down and release of movies are seldom. Big money is flowing like anything!
Why IPL is so attractive and successful:
* People just love to see that best cricketers from all over the world are playing together for the same franchisee.
* City based franchisee are getting enormous support from the citizens.
* As the number of foreign players in the paying 11 in a team is restricted to 4, a good number of young Indian cricketers are bound to come in lime light. Its thus should be beneficial for Indian Cricket.
**** From next year, 2 more teams are added to the tally- Pune and Kochi. Be prepared!
