IPL will not have the same fan following as the international games. The names of the teams sound like small-time club teams - chennai super kings, deccan chargers, bhagalpore bhais...
This is going to be a joke.
Our professional cricketers also need to learn a thing or two about prioritizing their commitments. They cannot be excused for taking more pride in donning their IPL gear than the India shirt.
It cannot also be safely said that IPL and big money will improve the quality of cricket here - Even with cash-rich premiership, the England team don't count among the best in the world, at the moment. What has happened is that foreign players playing in England have learned to read the English tactics and give it to them royally in international matches.
