5 things I hate about the IPL!
From the drama that started with auction of the players to the last minute change of the venue for the event, the Indian Premier League (IPL) has shown us a bit of everything! Dubbed as India’s DESI EPL (except for the different game being played here), the IPL brings about tons of things to cheer about. But here are a few things that irritate me.
- SOUTH AFRICA :
Seriously. This is supposed to be the “INDIAN” Premier League. They expect us to be all happy and gay when the stadiums in our own cities are empty! - FAKE CROWD STATISTICS :
The commentators really need to stop harping on and on about “how well attended the IPL matches are” and “the stadium is packed to capacity”. Do you think I’m blind? No matter how hard you broadcasters try to pan the cameras only towards the areas where the crowd sits, I can still see those empty stands. - OLD / CLUMSY / RETIRED CRICKETERS :
When the IPL was launched, it was hailed as a revolutionary platform for exploring young, budding talent. The IPL has without a doubt produced some great new talent but I really don’t fancy seeing cricketers who have either retired or are past their prime in this form of the game. I always thought the rebel ICL is supposed to be the messiah of the oldies. Hurray for the “young”, controversial wackos like Harbhajan and Sreesanth!! - UGLY CHEERLEADERS :
I really don’t know why there is so much focus on these cheerleaders. Maybe there’s something wrong with my eyes but I can’t figure out what Ravi Shastri finds so amazing about them. - SUNIL GAVASKAR and MANDIRA BEDI :
Somebody needs to go to South Africa and bring these two back to India. But you know what would be better? If we somehow lost both the idiots in SA itself!!! Gavaskar’s commentary is pathetic and Mandira’s presence there is a mystery considering her lack of knowledge.
No slapping… no drama… no controversies… and on top of that, some ordinary cricket!!! I’m just hoping things get better as the tournament progresses. Now, it’s your turn. Share with me your dislikes about this edition of the Indian Premier League.
