IPL or IBL (Indian business league)

IPL,the heart beat of one billion Indians etc etc. But it is commercialization to the worst possible extent. . IPl ,provides a lot of opportunity to the youngsters.They get to interact and learn a lot form the greats of the game.But the business motive behind it is alarming.Gulu Eziekel a freelance sports writer rightly points out," whenever a six is being hit the commentators rather than calling it a six say it as dlf maximum. When a catch or run out is effected they instead of applauding the efforts of the fielder describe it as citi-moment of success(citi bank is a sponsor).
IPL has lured greats like Adam Gilchrist, Matthew hayden etc to retire from their international duties"They also choose a person as miss bollywood for every match ,as if they are going to give them a chance in their forthcoming hindi films, not to mention the cheergirls who take commercialization to the worst extent.
What does cricket got to do with the likes of mandira bedi who dont know the technicalities of cricket.The greatness of the game is being reduced to rubble. Well the emphasis is made on the atmosphere and crowd rather than the pitch and the strategies of the game.

Indian premier league has become very popular in South Africa for the amount it donates for the education in SA during the strategic time-out.What did the INDIAN premier league do to INDIANS the previous season?Every match they show the trophy and thank the sponsors for making IPL possible.
Another allegation is the racism shown by the Kolkata Knight riders foreign towards the Indian players in the camp, their performance describes it all.Jeffrey Archer rightly described during his recent visit to Mumbai,"cricket is not 20-20. It is all about Rahul Dravid and VVS laxman batting the whole day". We might not find such matches so interesting. 20-20 is fine with the entertainment it provides. But making it a minting machine ...is unhealthy for the spirit of the game.
