Indian Premier league abbreviated as IPL has been one of the major discussions in the town,not only for the excitement and glamour quotient but also for its off-field controversies. It all started from Mr Lalit Modi's tweet on Kochi ownership. Fuck this microblogging twitter. I hate twitter :P and the strangest part is yet to come. I not only joined twitter but I am 61 tweets old now =) IPL is now being hailed not only as Indian paisa league,but also Indian political league. :| :x
Sashi tharoors relationship with Sunanda Pushkar and his involvement in the bidding process, being raised in Parliament,and the Opposition just needed to strengthen its case,already having the price-rise issue. Tharoor being forced to relinguish his powers,is a great loss to Indian politics. Now the storm is on Lalit Modi,and he is being asked to step down as IPL chairman. Most of the BCCI honchos gave the IPL award night a miss. There are unconfirmed reports that many a match were fixed in the second season of IPL held at South Africa.
Coming back to cricket,Mumbai Indians seem to be the clear cut favourite against Chennai but the split web is a serious concern,and if HE(no prices for guessing though, the leading run getter in the league stage,and an inspirational captain) doesnt play,then Chennai might have an upper hand and with the likes of Dhoni,Raina,Hayden I bet this wont be a no-encounter like the yesterdays 3rd place play-off between Bangalore and Deccan. I would not be surprised if Gilchrist announce his retirement from IPL because it was sad to see "the once,most destructive batsman" to fail so miserably. Hoping for a good contest and obviously,as Harbhajan said,a sweet birthday present to SACHIN TENDULKAR. Go Mumbai Indians!!
