5 things about IPL

IPL fever has caught everyone around including me. I have been sneezing 20-20 times a day. And there is no royal knight who can charge this super king size daredevil virus out this Indian’s body.

Any ways the reason behind this post is, I got tagged by PG … thanks for the tag mate …

So, 5 things about IPL

1.

The three most costly teams, viz. Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers and Hyderabad Deccan Failed to leave a mark. And the teams like Rajasthan Royals, Kings 11 Punjab and Kolkata Knight Riders made their place in top 4. With Rajasthan Royals (a $67 million team) at the top and Royal Challengers (a $111.6 million team) at bottom, the system of Players auction is under a big question mark.

2.

Jaspal Bhatti mocked the cricketers’ auction and organized a sports ‘mandi’ at Chandigarh

I have been a huge fan of Mr. Bhatti’s Sarcasm since the time of ulta-pulta, and definitely not on the side of players’ auction. That’s why this news got a place in top five things about and around IPL.

3.

If some one asks me to put my money on a team … then that would definitely be Rajasthan Royals . A team without an “Icon Player” and was expected to be the weakest team in the IPL. with the batsman like yuasuf pathan, bowler like shane warne and all-rounder like shane watson, they proved every predictions wrong and emerged as the best team of the series.

4.

And two thumbs up for the organizers strategy of keeping night matches (so that office going guys can catch the live action, which can compensate the floodlights expenses) and organizing the match at teams’ home ground (attracts more janta, hence more money).

But 1 thumb down for mismanagements in the matches (like, floodlight problem in Kolkata, misbehavior with the cheerleaders etc) and for restricting match only to 8 stadiums (can look for other stadium in the same state at least).

5.

Then there is the cheerleader issue, and I must say that I m very pro to this cheerleading thing… although I think that this job should be given to Indians. Why feeding Americans when they are blaming us for their starvation … :D … Other than those 35 Cr. Middle class Indians who are eating away their grains there are 60 Cr. others too.

PS: – Last week was pretty busy visited many relatives.

PS: — Traveling in summers sucks.

PS: — Radio PJ :- Who is the gal, jiski laat khaa ker koi bhi matvaala ho jaata hai….

PS: —- Ans :- “preet”

PS: —– reason :- rmr the kailash kher song “preet ki lat mohe aisi laagi, ho gayi main matwali”

PS: —— Okie bbye for now…

PS: ——- Now you can stop banging your head with your key board :D .

    1) kolkata ain’t in the top 4!!

    2) The prices you mentioned were for the cities. The cumulative amount bid for each franchise’s players is more relevant than the cost of the franchise
