it is rubbish to say IPL will balkanize the country. How is it that Dhoni captaining chennai, srisanth playing for Punjab, utappa playing for Mumbai, and what the heck, didn't you see ponting hugging ganguly and Yuvraj jumping over Brett Lee and the like. Looking at the positive aspects, it will lessen the cultural divide between players, not only between Indian players, but also foreign players and Indian players.
