Info On IPL Cricket
Not so long ago cricket was considered 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 legendary cricketers such as Ian Botham, Richard Hadlee and Imran Khan from the 80's, India’s last sports success was the world cup in 1983.
Subsequently cricket has changed drastically 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 worldwide.
Initially started in England and Wales to woo back crowds and promoters, the introduction of T20 cricket quickly became popular and the BBC, realising the massive 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 every team composed of players from various nationalities, the concept was certain to be a success and marketed fabulously by its then chairman Mr Lalit Modi, its was actually the first sports event carried over to ‘YouTube’ to reach viewers all over the world.
Entrepreneurs, 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've never performed together before.
Now viewed by over a billion people worldwide, the IPL cricket league is already among the most anticipated occasions of the year and seventy percent of viewers are reportedly from Pakistan and India alone where it is considered more of a religion than just a sport.
