For cricketers like this, the love for the game is surviving amidst all those who have sold it for the colour of money.
I too enjoy IPL, but i feel is is doing more harm than good.
The only good thing is that it is giving opportunity to those cricketers( especially Indians) who really would otherwise be stuck to Ranji duties and end their career. For them this is good money and recognition.
On the contrary, this tournament and the hectic schedule and the number of matches, really takes a toll on the players,t heir fitness and their calibre to perform in the maches for their country, which i presume is the ultimate goal for every cricketer.

They are really good and they showed that they put nation on upper side than money. Our cricketers should learn a lesson from them.

Test matches are the real test for cricketers. Fools like you don't like it.

Westerners are normally appalled by the poverty on display in India. However, some do come for the money which IPL provides. But others like Broad and Anderson can't imagine themselves playing in the city of slumdogs like Mumbai, so they just say no. Mumbaikars please invite MNS to make them say yes, or give these vacancies to marathi manooos.

mr. gowda, they have shown their loyalty to the nation by comiting to play for the national team. rather than join the circus called IPL, which is only good for the sponsors, franchisees and the players..

GOWDA no need to know how to play T20 just sloge it like base ball thats all it needs to learn
Reject IPL. As cricket followers we want India to take Aussies,SA,England in there own backyard and come up with Triumphs. IPL is a waste domestic tournament.
