When IPLT20 kick started, I was not too sure if it is going to be a big hit. Reason was many. Firstly, Kapil’s ICL did not gather much attention in public. Secondly, when players play for their country, there is a true aggression and willingness to win the game. But when it comes to playing for a county or city, there is no nativeness experienced Players and they seem to be playing for money not for country. The reason whey ICL did not caught up fame because all the players in ICL are retired from International Cricket and lack of support from ICC.
But After 2 weeks of It’s start, now the fame is building up slowly and people started to follow it very seriously. Cheerleaders are really cheering the crowds. Some poor politicians making fuss out of it to gain political mileage in this matter too. It’s dirty of Politicians to compare Cheerleaders with Bar-Dance girls. Bar Dance girls dance in Bars and there only aim to seduce the Customers. But, Cheerleaders cheer up the crowd by their dance.
Basically, T20 has become very interesting form of cricket because the result of the game can be changed at anytime within a matter of a BAD or GOOD over. Fast food is tastier than Hotel meals. But are they healthier? Some of the cricketers like Imran Khan hates T20 matches because they believe it will ruin the cricket’s very own Test matches. People have already switched from Test cricket to one day matches and now to T20 matches. People want entertainment and are not interested to wait for 5 days to know the result, that too no result most of the times.
Though the mass fame of T20 matches building up day by day, the satisfaction of winning a match will be more in 50 over cricket and Test matches. Because, even an incompetent team which has a fortunate day can win a T20 matches by grabbing few good Overs.
There is nothing wrong in doing something as long as there is no harm for others and it provides happiness to you. In that way, as long as IPLT20 entertain us, let’s also watch and enjoy it.
