I have always maintained that the IPL is detrimental to the game of cricket in more ways than one.
Besides making instant heroes out of very ordinary players who would find it very hard to be picked to even play the Ranji trophy, it is also ruining the technique of capable cricketers.
The most damaging thing that it is doing is that it is promoting unnecessary rivalries, aggression on the field and regionalism which will prove to be destructive for national integration. We already have regional political parties playing havoc and the last think we need is cricket, hitherto the only complete unifier in India, to play havoc with the concept of Indianness.
Say, how many times have you seen Captain Cool lose his cool while playing for India and the Little Master screaming, shouting and punching the air in his twenty year long international career or the sight of national players being booed by the crowds in their own country? Well, it's all happening at the IPL.
Virat Kohli is right when he says that the IPL is not the end of the world. I completely agree with him. Not the end of the world by any stretch of the imagination!!!
Fans should take a reality check and should try and not lose it over a game that's not even real cricket!!!
