IPL - Ranji Trophy

Yeah!!!! The IPL is just a few days far. No one can deny that the last year IPL was a huge success and this time also many expect the same. There are many appreciations and controversies on IPL.

And whatever critics might say, I strongly believe the IPL has unearthed some real talents. Lots of talents (MS Gony,Pragyan Ozha and Amit Mishra…)have come to limelight, through the match. Due to the IPL performances - Shane Watson gets a recall in place of an injured Mathew Hayden. Morkel, Shaun Marsh… also got a firm position on their nation team.

We have been playing Ranji Cricket for many decades, which can’t even stand near the success of IPL. Every one knows the reason for the state of Ranji – Local politics and Politicians. Also BCCI has failed to generate public interest in Ranji Trophy ( I feel,BCCI shall also tender the Ranji teams, to Preity/Shilpa/Bipasha...;-D)

In IPL, everyone expect only the Performance. If you perform you are in, if not no politician’s relative will be able to help. Because this is run as a business by (some) corporate. This I suppose is something good, and this thought came out only because of IPL.

Whatever it is…. Now despite the IPL happening in South Africa, the live telecast on the TV remains on the same time. So we don’t need to watch some reality shows(full of drama), screaming serials, and worst of all a lecture of wrong facts in NDTV,CNN(called NEWS;-D) every evening.

Hey, I can watch Sehwag and Gambhir hitting the ball every few days. Pity, I really did hope to watch a few games at Chepauk, Chennai ;-(.
