Sandeep, I am afraid that not many will agree with you. What is wrong with following or supporting foreign clubs especially in football (where we are probably 155th in the world)?
In regard to our local stars, we need to see their talent first. Barring Dada, none of the senior players have done anything of note. Either it is the foreign players or the Indian youth who are excelling in IPL.
English Premier League (EPL) is probably the best organised and popular. But is dominated by non-England players (even Giggs is technically from Wales!). Some clubs like Arsenal do not have many England players!! Even Chelsea and Man U have only a few players of England origin. Nowadays there is a proposal to restrict the number of foreign players in England football!!
But it is true that foreign players really help improve local talent. England's cricket team was strong when counties did not have any restriction of overseas players till 1980. But once the restriction came into force, the standard of England's cricket came down rapidly.
So, let's encourage competitiveness by bringing in foreign players in IPL!Shane Warne, Shane Watson, Husseys (Mike and David),Mcgrath, Jayasuriya,Sangakkara,Morkel, Hayden, Symonds are all showing far greater commitment than Bhajji, Rahul, Laxman, Yuvaraj and all the fancied India stars. Only Dhoni and Rohit are showing great class.
