 IPL: REWRITING THE STORY OF INDIAN CRICKET



Ever since its maiden steps in 2008, the Indian Premier League (IPL), often seen as a blend between cricket and entertainment, has been a massive hit. With leading international players adding to the allure, the summer league has its charms. Despite controversies like the 2013 spot-fixing scandal, the IPL remains a blockbuster, giving tough competition to movies, dishing out quality cricket, and throwing the spotlight on fresh talent.

REASONS WHY IT IS SO SUCCESSFUL :

1) IPL: The Biggest Festival In India

The Indian Premier League is the biggest festival in India, and we are not just talking about the matches! From the food trucks to the music, this cricket-obsessed country is a haven for sports fans. Every season brings with it exciting new attractions and entertainment, ensuring that no matter what time of day or night you watch, you always have something to look forward to. IPL brings together friends and family just like any other festival.


2) A MIXTURE OF INDIAN PLAYERS+FOREIGN PLAYERS

A hard-core cricket fanatic will have cricket idols from all around the globe and it is always a dream for them to witness all the players on one platform. IPL is one such platform. From Virat Kohli to David Warner, from Hardik Pandya to Jos Butler, IPL brings players from all around the world. These international stars were the crowd pullers and every franchise ensured they have a strong pool of international stars. The presence of overseas stars also meant that IPL was followed outside India. For example, a person in Australia would always cheer for Chennai Superkings just because of his/her love for Ben Stokes.

3) Rags To Reaches Stories

Indian Premier League has not only provided a platform for some youngsters to showcase their talent but also provided them with the financial support that many of them deserved. Players like Mohamad Siraj, Yashasvi Jaiswal, T. Natarajan, and Kumar Kartikeya are all examples of players with humble backgrounds who now made it in their life.

Players who have sacrificed a lot to play cricket professionally finally got the fruits of all their hard work and dedication. For many of these players cricket is their lively hood and getting paid a hefty amount only helps them and their family but also helps other youngsters to consider cricket as a viable career. 

CONCLUSION :

IPL is a successful franchise that has revived Indian cricket and this event is the cynosure in all. It's great to have this event, which is second only to USA'S NBA. It makes every  Indian cricket fan proud.
