With so much of cricket in IPL, ICL (Zee) and official matches, the game will die its natural death. Nobody needs to take any extra pain to make it die/a flop.
All those involved in the bidding and other activities of IPL, should feel ashamed with crores of money pumped into it. Who pays for it? Ultimately, its we, the general public, by way of all purchases of consumer itesm that we do; these sponsorship/franchisee costs are inbuilt in it.
With such large scale underdevelopment all around, few people garnering crores of rupees, is justified? What is their significant contribution to the nation? Cricket has been played for over a century. Why so much hype now and crores being spent/paid?
