Now that our very own Indian Premier League has bumped into another controversy, a question arises that do we actually need IPL every summer? Come to think about it logically, the only thing we get from IPL is entertainment – those on-field fights, twitter wars, cheerleaders, rivalry and more rivalry. Apart from entertainment what we get to see ar... Read more..

We demand answers! I am an 18 year old teenager. From childhood, especially from the 2003 World Cup, cricket has become my passion. I am an ardent cricket fan, not having any particular inclination towards other sports. By stating that I am a fan, it is not only restricted to India matches, but all the matches played across the globe; which includes all the internationals, as well as a league as remote as Zimbabwe T20 domestic league (I am proud to say that I follow it) Cricket has always been a solace for me. Unlike many others, I consider IPL not to be a just a sourc... Read more..

Impact preferable over longevity? The age of the rebellious mid-30s has captured our imagination. Few days ago, all of us were cheering about Sachin Tendulkar’s 24 year journey on the cricket field, beginning as a tender 16-year old, way back in 1989.  For an international cricketer, an ideal age to start out will be the early twenties which can ensure that he can take his time to adjust to the rigours at this level. If he plays well, he also stands a chance of competing for a decade or more, in all probability. Even though he might be dropped, he always... Read more..

This IPL will be the last for many gentlemen as we move on to another reshuffle before the next season. Rahul Dravid, Hodge, Gilchrist and our all-time favourite Sachin, in all probability will move on.  There are many things to be learnt from these gentlemen. One can say their consistency, sublime shot making, but the way they carried themselves throughout their career tops the list. Recently, Dravid in an interview admitted that IPL contracts are a big lure for the youngsters. He never imagined himself doing a ramp walk when he started playing cricket. Now time has changed. Big money comes... Read more..

A team I can back to the hilt! It was back in December last year that I was fortunate to attend a cricket-cum-economics based competition in Mumbai. There was a quiz on IPL, with further rounds leading up to an auction of players (not real, of course, I know it must be a mouthwatering prospect for most of you). It was an amazing last round; we got to choose our own team which can do the best.  At the same time, I also understood the complexities of the auction. One of them is that you are simply spoilt for choice if the entire set of international players is made available to you. Similarl... Read more..
