Craze of 20 -20 Cricket
The Indian Premier League (IPL) has taken the 22nd cricket season to a very high level. The IPL flu has gripped people's minds with all its might. With the opening of Cricket 22nd, the IPL and its possible winner became one of the hottest topics to discuss everywhere. Many people are of the opinion that it is one of the best things that ever happened to cricket. In fact the IPL has become so popular all over the world that Australian captain Ricky Ponting has had to appeal to his countrymen to focus more on their recent national team and West Indies series than watching their retired cricket players play in the IPL. The whole IPL tournament was broadcast in Australia as it went on the air and has become a huge madness.
With the introduction of twenty-two games, cricket has become an industry now. The sector has apparently expanded India's economic liberation to an astonishing length of time. We beat the DLF-IPL by twenty-two as a recreational product sold to cricket buyers for seating prices that cost anything between Rs. 200 to Rs.5,000 per game in Chennai. Tickets for the season cost Rs 30,000 / - (Chennai prices).
The other seven cities have also been approved by the league's promoters especially companies assisted by people like Mukesh Ambani and Vijay Mallya; and bollywood celebrities - Shah Rukh Khan, Juhi Chawla (collectively affiliated with Kolkata) and Preity Zinta (co-star in the Mohali franchise). These people had paid a lot of money. Mallya reportedly paid $ 111.6 million in Bangalore and spent another Rs.15.2 crore buying city team players.
Players were put up for auction and even the game was cut into form and materials to suit the needs of the day / night game. Think of the energy bill involved in such a game. Cricket, as most game enthusiasts think, was an easy game during the day. Have we not seen the similarity of the Test being reduced by the negative natural light? We have not yet considered whether they had a game on April 22; and if ‘World Day’ fans have plans to oppose such a remarkable use of power in the name of cricket.
We have also heard that IPL promoters have tried to call the media a policy, setting conditions for newspapers to try to block the number of images that a newspaper can post on its web programs. No self-respecting newspaper editor could be expected to accept such conditions: In addition, the promoters of the league claim to have unrestricted access to media and photographic material as a free lunch; and this, they want as a privilege, in order to fulfill the media at your own expense.
IPL promoters or franchise owners did not seem to care about the audience's interests. In my count the organizers of the 22nd league take for granted the vast majority of their cricketing clients. The IPL may prefer a US business model such as baseball, basketball or soccer. Is it the issue that changing cricket into a luxury business is in line with the reality of our economic well-being. Other than that, would it be a good idea to allow a home builder in India to model a cricket business model (which is almost a religion and our sports-loving crowd) for the benefit of a large number of investors and a select group of player players. If this Twenty-20 league goes ahead, it will not be long before we have international investors and take on rich people who show interest in the entertainment prospects of cricket in India.
It is certain that in the crazy world of India famous cricket and aspiring Twenty-20 will surpass One Day International and that is why the Rebel Zee Group has started with Twenty-20 and BCCI is also considering this approach. England have also announced a 25 per cent increase in 22 games from next season. So Twenty-20 seems to be the future of cricket that can transform and unite the game globally.
