IPL is well planned show business. Starting from Cheer leaders to the Extra-Innings girls, players wives and GF's, everything is well planned and managed. This is like any other game. Why so much skin show/short dresses are needed? All these things are to attract people attention more and make money by what-so-ever way.
After match parties are even source of making more money. Here players are treated like horses who are "bought" in auctions and then asked to do anything as per the owners wish. Most of the IPL matches could be spot fixed, but hard to discover as many biggies are involved.
How come Vindoo Dara Singh sits close to Sakshi Dhoni and enjoy matches? This means there should be some connection of bookies with the players wives also. This possibility should not be ignored.
No one in outside world knows, what is behind the show case of IPL.... If the truth comes out, then probably people will stop watching cricket...
IPL wont give international quality players like Sachin, Saurav, Rahul, Laxman...
IPL could be really waste of time. No player is emotionally tied to any team. They are here only for making money (indirectly taken from people like us)

Now days, players are more interested in playing in IPL rather than concentrating on career in International Cricket. They dont bother whether they will get chance in Indian Team or not... IPL will give more than enough money than they would have earned through cricket career. in 3-4 overs of bowling, no one will become international player or batsman... In such cases, tendency towards grabbing the money from things like after match parties, spot fixing will be more.
When-ever there are politicians, businessmen are involved in games/tournaments like this, definitely they will spoil the spirit of the game.
