IPL History
Cricket is a game passionately followed by Indians. Moving over from the never-ending Test matches and 50 over day-long cricket,
Twenty20 is here to stay. IPL has simply enamoured the new age cricket lover who is now simply addicted to the game.
DLF INDIAN Premier League is a miracle in cricket history. It’s a wonderful idea in the entertainment world, approved by the Indian cricket board a few months ago. The inauguration ceremony of IPL was held at Chinnaswamy stadium in Bangluru on April18. The opening ceremony of IPL simply astonished the lovers of cricket. Chinnaswamy stadium for an instance looked like a filmfare awards’ stage; lighting arrangements in the stadium were a big-bang episode for the present audience . The night sky above the stadium was illuminated by a number of fireworks giving the environment a feel of utmost festivity as if it were a New Year festival of Mexico. It was a hair-raising ceremony, something that was never witnessed before in India.
In the IPL different states of India have been named as different cricket teams which are, Hyderabad Deccan Chargers, Chennai Super Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders, Delhi Daredevils, Mohali Punjab Kings XI, Mumbai Indians, Bangalore Royal Challengers and Jaipur Rajasthan Royals. It’s professional twenty20 cricket which is promoted by BCCI and backed by ICC. The IPL works on franchise system based on the American style of hiring players and transfers.
National and international players were auctioned and sold to the teams owned by various Bollywood stars and business tycoons. It can be easily seen as a cocktail mix of glamour and cricket. But it has been said about IPL that only the spirit of good cricket can take it forward and nothing else. The first IPL match was between Royal Challengers of Bangluru owned by Vijay Malaya and Knight Riders of Kolkata owned by Shahrukh Khan.
The game of cricket has a great fan following in India. In such conditions the idea of Indian Premier League is a boom in the market. The sponsors and investors are expected to get back a lot more than they have invested because it is appreciated by people as well. The fact that foreign players are playing for the teams hardly matters.
There is ample evidence from America and Europe that locals will sooner than not, start identifying with the imported players as their own and helping one another in working together as a team to win the tournament.
Cricket is now overflowing out of our ears and breakfast, lunch and dinner is eaten, chewed, swallowed, digested etc, all about cricket. It’s not just a game for people in India, it’s an addiction and something like IPL will obviously drive them out of their senses. The twenty20 cricket became very popular in India during the Twenty20 world cup and after India’s emergence as the winner in the cup, people have especially become attached to it. This popularity gave immense motivation to the initiative called Indian Premier League.
