The IPL or Indian Premier League for T20 is done and over with yet the hangover is still not gone. Evenings that for once were not about the K factor seem to have gone back to soap and reality shows. I must compliment the BCCI especially Lalit Modi whose brainchild IPL was for making such a strong statement for domestic cricket. I remember when people used to go and watch Ranji final they had enough space for them to lounge around, loll around walk around - but not at the IPL my friend. You will be lucky to get your self enough space to rest your backside. Anyways why would you need so much of space anyways since you would always be sitting at the edge of your seat.

One thing that impressed me was its Corporate feel, the promoters backed their teams like they would to their employees. There was camaraderie on the field, leadership, stars, excitement, pressure – you name it and it was there. More importantly it gave the seniors, juniors and the rookies from U19 an equal opportunity to excel and reap benefits out of it.

Lastly I was happy Rajasthan Royals won this tournament – it proved once again that in the hands of a good leader even the inexperienced can create wonders. Hats off to you Shane, you have my new found respect.

I’m a huge fan now of IPL and basically the T20 format it keeps my adrenalin rushed.
