Lalit Modi’s show - IPL

Being a cricket fan I was thrilled by the idea of IPL and with last year success to this tournament I was even more eagerly waiting for the second edition of IPL as it had more player addition this time. It’s only a pity that Pakistan players couldn’t make this edition. Pakistan players were great hit last year and I was eager to see how they perform this year as they had played fewer cricket in the past year.

 

Because general election was to held in April in India it was decided very lately that India couldn’t host the IPL. Only four weeks left for the tournament to begin it was shifted to South Africa.  Kudos to Lalit Modi(chairman and commissioner of IPL), whose out of box thinking led to tournament being shifted to South Africa. It looked as if the tournament would be cancelled when Indian government declared that they could not provide enough security to organize the tournament. If the tournament had been cancelled the franchise would have encountered serious losses. But last minute changes ensured that IPL could move on smoothly.

 

Today after watching the first two games on this edition of IPL, we should thank the South African board for making arrangement to such a huge tournament in very less time.

Being the follower of Bangalore Royal Challengers I was very happy with the result of their first match. I am a big fan of Rahul and Kumble and was very happy to see them play well. Hope Bangalore wins this year’s edition.

 

Go Bangalore Go!!!!!!!!!!
