FINALLY the IPL is over, more than a month of fast cricket is over. I feel IPL will bring new revolution to international cricket. Just looking the whole event and with the victory of Rajasthan it is clear that money has nothing to do with winning or losing and many player played better than there bid value for example Shane Watson he out played all the player whether Indian or foreigner, other man is Shaun marsh just as low as $30,000 and he got orange cap for scoring maximum run in the tournament same is with Sohail tanvir. So one thing is clear corporate leaders thinking that they have spend more money will mean that their team will win the tournament has been proved to be wrong. And many players were rewarded with more money than there worth was proved in the tournament that they don’t deserve that much money.
Just looking at the teams I am not surprised with performance of rajasthan because the team has player not with big names but with the bunch of player with good skills who hasn’t got enough chance to showcase their talent in international cricket and the Australian leader how can I forget his brilliant effort to uplift the team to play as champions, Shane warne he is still as astute as he used to be. Second team Chennai super kings about this team I should say a roller coaster performance throughout tournament this team has ideal balance if Hayden and Hussy wouldn’t have left for national duties, and if these two would have been in the entire tournament they would have been toughest nut to crack, because this team has also two world class all rounder as well Oram and Albie Morkel. So in the next season if Chennai won the title you shouldn’t be surprise. Now the third one Mohali’s team about this I should say in there success there is solely one man and that is marsh he single handedly won matches for Mohali by scoring runs consistently, apart from him there batting look a bit fragile Hopes, Sangkara chipping with good performance but not consistently, there bowling was full of Indian young lad so no problem in that department. The fourth one Delhi daredevils about this team I should say apart from opening pair and McGrath they had nothing good, the team owner has spent a good amount on buying other players but they bet on wrong one. They bought for 3 crore asif, 2 crore karthik, and 2.5 manoj tiwari, I frankly feel that these players doesn’t deserve this much money and instead of that they should have bought other quality player which were available for a lower value, I don’t know whom they consulted to buy these players no middle order Indian batsman no Indian fast bowler, no all rounder yet they made to semi’s credit goes to sehwag, gambhir and dhawan.
About rest of the four who couldn’t make it to semi’s lets begin with mumbai, the most expensive team of IPL this team lost first four and won next six has a good chance to make to semi’s but rajasthan thrashed their dream, but one responsible for their success is Bravo and the other is Jayasurya, well rest played ordinary cricket even uthapa didn’t played to his ability. Nayyar was impressive; Pollock and Sachin also didn’t performed to their name. Now kolkata knight rider owned by SRK very much hyped team beautifully advertised by Shah Rukh couldn’t lived up to his hyped image, the major reason being fragile batting no consistent performance by a single batsman, bowling was bit ok if Gayle would have played the tournament the scene may be a bit different and even Ponting also didn’t performed as per his name, one thing should be clear that T20 is a batsman’s game if you don’t have good quality hitting batsman you could hardly win a match and this thing totally applies on Banglore royal challengers, the team full of test players couldn’t performed as per the expectation of the owner Mr. Mallya resulted in the sacking of ceo Charu Sharma , It may be the Dravid may also be replaced by some other person in the next season, but I feel Dravid played his part as a batsman very well but may be he failed as a captain, lets see how this team perform in the next season. Now the turn of the team that started the campaign as the favorites but couldn’t perform, there down fall was freefall. I couldn’t digest that the team, which has Gilchrist, Gibbs, Afridi, Vas, Symmonds, and Rohit Sharma how can this team, end up winning just two matches, these all players are match winners for there national squad and here in IPL they failed to perform collectively, I could sense something like match fixing, though its purely my thought but you couldn’t rule out this thing because billion of money was involved in IPL even the bookies were ready to cash the occasion.
After consequences of IPL:
People are thinking that one day will lose its value but I don’t think because the excitement involved in a 300 plus match couldn’t be seen in T-20, because T-20 didn’t give much chance to repair the early damage if once done, just two early wickets your out of the match where as you have chance to recover and still manage to win the match so in that note you see ODI will still survive plus the skill of a player are better seen in ODI. Plus most of the matches in T-20 format is one sided you can easily judge who will win the match prior four five over’s
The scenario of one day will also be changed and you will see in near future that even the 300+ scores will be easily chased because players mindset will be changed that they have chased 175 plus in 20 overs they can in similar way can get the same amount of run in the last 20 overs of ODI. So thus ODI will be changed courtesy the shorter version.
The players will prefer to play the leagues instead of international cricket because they have a chance to make more money in short span of time, and they can spend rest of their time with family, second reason being no big pressure means players will have less pressure while playing in leagues in comparison to international cricket because media will not criticizing much on poor performance see in case of Hyderabad team. This thing will be clearer from sachin’s decision choosing to take rest when it came to international cricket.
Other thing, which you might see is more leagues presented by different boards because BCCI made a huge money out IPL similar way other cricket boards would also want to made money and will launch their leagues. And we shouldn’t surprise if we see different leagues going throughout the year in different part of world and no touring of teams. This may soon be the case in the years to come.
The bad effect of IPL would be the cricket which use to unite our country will now divide our country, this thing would have been clear to you if you have seen the adds of IPL which were shown on TV that people fighting with each other because of different teams they are supporting.
Other thing, which you also will see, is decrease in sense of hatred or increase in fan following of foreign player in India because the player is playing for their favorite IPL team.

IPL v\s ICL
Now in the end I would like to compare the two leagues ICL and IPL, I don’t know how many of you have seen ICL matches but let me tell you ICL is not less than IPL but because of less media coverage ICL couldn’t be that much popular, but if you asked me which one is better I will put ICL ahead of IPL on certain grounds one being tight finishes, in IPL if you remember the matches are high scoring but you can easily make it out who will win the match but in ICL the matches were low scoring and in most of the matches I witnessed a close ending just comparing the final of IPL with ICL the IPL one was victory on last ball but in ICL I saw a ball out the match being tie and then the bowlers has to hit the stumps, the other thing being the right balance in all the teams in ICL, naming f the teams is good in ICL while in IPL its not good , in IPL there are two teams named as Kings, both with lions , mumbai’s team being named as Indians cant they get better than this we all are Indian’s, and just look at the banglore’s team which is named after Vijay Mallya’s famous liquor Royal Challenge. The other thing which I liked about ICL was its time of match beginning it was 7 to 10 so you didn’t have to wait for long in night.
