IPL 09-My Take away

Hey man its strange, IPL fever has gone and i have not writen even a single post on it.Just couldn't restrict myslef from writing one for the same,though for most of us it would be redundant info,but for me it will be a flash card for the 09 version.
This version was full of surprises,dramas and a lot of mirch and masala ranging from various controversies on feild and off field.We have the champs ,the one who finished last in 08 has reigned supreme this time around.One could not also forget the much hyped KKR's multi captain theory, to their disastrous performance and then a sudden resurgence which kicked the defending champs out with sober wounds and bleeding egos.To add to all the glamour we had an anonymous FIP (FAKE IPL PLAYER),though anonymous, most of us do have a clue whose hands will be behind it.Not accurately but i can still put my money on the maker of the master plan,another publicity stunt to hype the much hyped event and then we have the highly intellectual people living in india and various other indian diasporas which wouldn't refrain themselves from commenting on its anonymity and the allegations.He hasn't refrained himself from taunting the legends of the cricket .some were ridiculed,some tested and many others were put into some controversies whose autheticity cant be put to test.There was a time when the popularity of the blog would surely be more than the KKR's own performance or i must say their non performance.but the ground reality is whatever we say about him we all followed him religiously.
With the closing ceremony and crowning the chargers the undisputed kings, we have actually opened up a whole new dimension of opportunities.Not only it has given young indian cricketers a whole new experience and exposure but also India has come on the forefront ,not as the richest cricketing board staffing more dollars under their belly but as a mascot of cricket spreading it to other corners of the world.one can now safely say that cricket mania is up on the go and is surely gaining popularity in the world where football has been the most followed up sport.With this thought and lots of memories of IPL 09 im all waiting for the next version.I hope this time around it would again be a dream run for an underdog team and we might see the KKR's ,the number 8 to be next year's champion as it happened this time round.
All the best to them.amen
