Praying for Death
18th April 2008 may be a red letter day for BCCI and for Indian cricket fans but this IPL's impact on international cricket in long terms is going to be negative somehow. As the days are passing viewers are getting really nail biting matches which is the real secret of IPL success but this kind of entertainment is going to kill interest of viewers from the other forms of cricket especially the real cricket called test cricket. People are getting used to these T20 matches which is going to take their 3 to 4 hours rather than 5 days taken by test matches and 9 to 10 hours of 50 overs one days.
Meanwhile there are so many controversies going on in this event and we should be ready for more. It is also creating a kind of pressure to perform in the mind of the players who have got handsome amount from the owners. these owners are mainly big guns of India like SRK and Dr. Mallya. They want to see their teams winning any how as they have invested a huge amount of money. So they will also pressurize the player to perform better. And somehow it is going to infect the sportsmanship.
Well so many negatives are mentioned but still there are some positives about IPL like domestic cricketers are getting better exposure and environment of international level matches. At the same time they are making their pockets heavy too.
