I am a traditionalist. I would rather watch Rahul Dravid battle the guile of English bowlers in overcast conditions or watch Nayan Mongia keep wickets to Anil Kumble in the dusty Indian wickets or watch Anil Kumble gritting his teeth and grinding down his opponents than watch the razzmatazz of IPL 20 – 20 cricket. 20-20 is not for a passionate and ardent cricket lover like me.
As the adage goes, change is constant and IPL tamasha is here to stay. The money is good and no cricketer is complaining of excessive cricket. The Indian cricket board is happy and that’s what counts in the cricketing world.
I certainly would watch the IPL and enjoy the game but certainly would not lose my sleep over it. I would rather lose my sleep watching teams battle New Zealand at Christchurch.
I always enjoyed watching this game ever since age of 5. I remember waking up at 4:30am with my dad to watch Ravi Shastri win the Champion of Champions in Australia and car along with it. It’s been a passion since
