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?

Obviously the sponsors will pull the money from their products by increaing the cost of it.. thus adding to inflation..

let me tell youa basic costing principle. The profits come not by increasing the price but by buiding up the volumes. The sponsors will try to sell more, more to each old segment and they'll try to create more new takers to their product. And if the product is not a softdrink or chips its okay to build volumes, its perfectly legal.

agree with you partially. But this is not new, crores of money was already being spent on media and sponsorship of one dayers and tests. Even the tests and one dayers didnt contribute in any way.
