For all these days the world cricketing world is glued to DLF IPL.Well it has been a huge success.
Cricket has wed entertainment.
All the games have close finish.Most of the matches have been batsmen's stronghold but bowlers like Mcgrath,warne,akhtar stand apart.
All the matches are marred with close finish like last ball six,30 runs scored in last over etc.
Initially DLF IPL faced the heat beacuse of cheerleaders,but the voice against it got vanished.
Is T20 doing good for cricket?
certainly T20 has brought many untapped talents to the fore,has increased the scoring rate(hereafter a score above 200 in ODI will be considered a low score),has exposed the teams and the captains to extreme adrelaine pumped up situations.
But think of its effect on Tests.The crowd which has witnessed T20 for over 3hrs will have less interest in watching test match for 5 days.Test is the ultimate format for testing the technical shrewdness of batsmen and bowlers.A person who proves himself in test is a player of all formats.
Though T20 has become a roaring success,the cricketing fraternity should not aggressively promote the concept of T20.Else within the span of some 10-15 years,test matches would lose their sheen and would be a history.
