Indian Premier League: Good bye sports
Whatever maybe the outcome of this “Great Tamasha,” it is bound to change the face of cricket and could well entice cricketers to put a price on their heads as TV channels and other stake holders come out with innovative methods to reap profits.
And now for 44 days from April 18, India’s great cricket tamasha gets underway as the modern gladiators owned by Bollywood stars and industrialists battle for a prize money of US $5 million which is five times the prize money at the 2007 ICC World Cup in the Caribbean.
So, all those complaints of overdose of cricket and hectic tour schedule have all been pushed into the background and truly the Indian Premier League (IPL) has become Indian Paise Lob for it is just the money making the stars go round. And all this to counter the earlier Indian Cricket League (ICL) launched by media magnate Subhash Chandra.
