How can you call IPL innovative ... copying other people's ideas .. IPL is a byproduct of ICL ... The notion of league does not exist .. Its good for IPL that Rajasthan royal won the finals but soon there will be a team that rocks the league stage and looses the semi finals badly .. There is nothing in it for topping the league ... The number of foriegn players should be increase to 5 or 6 and the number of franchises should increase .. This will ensure enough indian domestic players get a chance ... Orange cap and Purple cap is a good innovation . Man of the series should be a point based system instead so that we all know who is tending towards the Man of the series (like in cricket world cups).
With all the money that they generated ... Power cuts in matches , poor quality pitches , tickets sold in blacks shows poor management something we tend to accept ...
