IPL is about to start its sixth edition next week. The restaurants, bars across India are getting ready to woo its customers with the IPL cricket. Huge money is going to be churned in the country as most businesses would like to piggyback on IPL, starting from Pepsi, Coke to Tasmac’s (Some started keeping hoardings about IPL in front of Tasmac).
The other day I was speaking to my friend, we kind of agreed (mostly we don’t agree often) on that we don’t remember any particular matches, except the innings which MSD played in Dharmasala against Kings II Punjab, that will be 2nd or 3rd edition.
April 3rd to May 26th, 55 days, 75 matches, it is going to be a droll, absolutely droll. Cruel summer for players and viewers. But still there will be more enthusiastic fans cheering in the stadium and in front of the TV supporting their favorite team. TRP ratings of the IPL will be published in newspaper, out throwing the TV serial soap ratings.
Initially the electronics\Tea shops\Salons will have some crowd outside to watch the matches, say till some 20 – 30 matches, and then the interest will dwindle and then in the elimination or on final stages people will start to pick interest, then the grand final involving CSK Vs ___. Grand success, hola !!!, let’s party !!!.
PS: What about the Sri Lankan players playing in Chennai ?
