Finding information On IPL Cricket
There was a time when cricket was categorised as a gentlemen’s game but through the years as test cricket burned itself out, emphasis shifted to hard hitting and defensive bowling and with no replacement for famous cricketers like Ian Botham, Richard Hadlee and Imran Khan from the 80's, India’s last sporting success was the world cup in 1983.
Since then cricket has changed dramatically with the introduction of Indian premier League (IPL) in April 2008. Infusing new life into the game was not only encouraging for Indians but a really good sign for cricket fans world-wide.
The introduction of T20 format cricket was originally introduced in Wales and England to woo back crowds and promoters and the BBC, realising the large following in the UK developed its own variation of league matches in the T20 format and referred to it as the Indian Premier league or IPL.
With every team composing of players from different nationalities, the idea was certain to be a success and marketed fabulously by its then chairman Mr Lalit Modi, its was genuinely the first sporting event carried over to ‘YouTube’ to reach viewers across the globe.
Each team is owned by businessmen or actors, in truth anyone who can afford to pay players and sponsor them and IPL cricketers are actually bought through an ‘auction’ making it unique among other cricketing events.
The IPL has most definitely brought cricket to the forefront of sport once again and at the same time created a sense of unity and trust among international cricketers who've never played together before.
The IPL cricket league is one of the most awaited sporting events of the year and is said to be watched by more than a billion people world-wide. Nearly seventy percent of these people are from India or Pakistan where cricket is now considered as more of a religion than a sport.
