This year the IPL is in the news for all the wrong reasons. Firstly there are immense controversy about the venue and the very sustenance of the tournament was questioned. But then our BCCI stalwart Mr.Modi saw the tournament though the thick and thins and ensured that it happened.
I have hardly been able to follow the match on the television though I guess interests picks once we reach the lateral rounds of the tournament.
Another controversy doing rounds this year is that of the blog called as fake IPL player. Now there has been lots of discussion as to whether he is actually a player with the KKR or is he a attention seeking sports journalist or somebody who might be looking to create some controversy or add spice to the entire event.
Further today I was a bit saddened when I was reading an article in TOI, it was about one of the most prolific batsmen of yester years. One who I believe would have been apt for a event like IPL, its Lance Klusener. Known for his bit hits in the 50 over version today Klusener doesn’t fit in the scheme of things for CSA. The only reason for this.. well he is part of the rebel cricket league ICL. Just a sad example of how politics & power in sports can deprive some genuine talents of their opportunity.
