IPL vs PSL: An open letter from an Indian cricket fan

Posted on at


Dear Pakistani cricket fans,

So currently you have got your own version of the IPL.

The TV ratings of the Pakistan Super League, we believe, area unit higher than any masala movie industry show and therefore the high spirits around it's in all probability just like the time Javed Miandad hit that last ball six.

Even if Rameez Raja takes the time to recollect that it's the city Kings and not the Kings IX geographical area, we are able to see it’s about to be a unique ball game altogether.

The cricketers, of course, area unit singing ‘scent of a money’, and here we have a tendency to area unit questioning once haven’t they? this can be your debut season and sort of a new contrivance, you may solely understand its battery life abundant later.

We, on the opposite hand, area unit veterans of it, getting into our ninth year.

Shahrukh Khan’s cartwheels within the sports stadium ground have lost their novelty even as Priety Zinta’s spirited jingoism can’t hide the actual fact that in such a large amount of seasons not once has she gotten her team right.

Priyanka Chopra has long left the building, or rather the sports stadium and this year, even Anushka Sharma isn’t about to be within the stands cheering on Virat Kohli.

Then, of course, there area unit the cheerleaders. Don’t expect the Super Bowl, anything is evitable . Even our cameramen area unit bored of constant recent routine, as area unit the over-zealous eyes of the culture brigade that thrives within the landmass.


Fans are going to be hoping Umar Akmal will for Pakistan what he has in dire straits the Qalandars
Some of our cheerleaders have even danced sporting saris however there was nothing value cheering, therefore don’t invite one thing you won’t like.

Think! Cheerleaders cheering in salwar tunic, it’s slightly like being hit wicket. But, there's a reason they need been prohibited from the IPL parties. Trust us, you’re simply avoiding the tat.

You go straight from the PSL to the T20 World Cup next month. we have a tendency to did constant in 2009, exhausted and with injuries to some key players.

It didn’t take North American nation long to exit the tournament and therefore the typically calm port of entry Kirsten our coach those days, fairly place the blame on IPL.

PSL isn't as long a tournament and hopefully, you'll manage the pulls and therefore the tears, if there area unit any. simply a note of caution, players area unit superb at keeping their injuries beneath wraps: Moneytalks.

It’s not a story — the conception of an excessive amount of cricket will exist
Our IPL calendar takes away the crucial rest before the beginning of a replacement season. Hopefully, your board has managed it higher.

But soon, you may realise once the stakes area unit therefore high it stops being a gentleman’s game. there'll be players WHO are going to be content simply enjoying this annually.

Test cricket, the hallmark of a decent player may be a dying breed. For us, the writing on the ‘wall’ is obvious. Ravindra Jadeja or Rohit Sharma, our regulars within the T-20 format can ne'er be mentioned within the same breath as Rahul Dravid.

It would even be informed leave technique reception once you watch these matches, the cricketers in any case do. Neither can the player of the tournament essentially continue to be future Afridi. what percentage of you have got detected of Akshar Patel or Sanju Samson?

Hopefully, the PSL will divert a number of the profits into the domestic league as a result of candidly, an entire player can ne'er emerge from hit and miss tournaments.

Match fixing still haunts you the maximum amount because it will North American nation
Now with the bar raised bookies are going to be creep around expecting their catch, and that they can realize the way.

Those with AN particularly humble background area unit all the additional vulnerable. This year Nathu Singh, the son of a working person has been bought by one in all the IPL franchise city Indians for Rs3.2 crores. There area unit some additional like him WHO have not dreamt of this type of cash. solely time can tell if their serious dedication will overcome all the distractions the not-very-serious kind of cricket brings.

Two of our groups, as well as the terribly roaring urban center Superkings semiconductor diode by MS Dhoni are suspended for 2 years.

Ideally, they must are for good prohibited however there's a reason some decision IPL the Indian Punters league. there's still a sealed envelope with names of over ten players concerned in IPL spot-fixing.

Your list over the years is equally long. For now, Mohammed swayer is back however whenever he offers 2 no-balls in a very row, can your mind not wander?

So, detain mind this can be not extremely sport and it doesn’t extremely take that long for the shine to wear off and therefore the dirt to kick in. Such tournaments create cash, seldom careers.

We can say that as a result of we’ve been burnt by the IPL.

Sincerely,
An Indian cricket fan (run out by the IPL)

P.S. Don’t forget to observe some take a look at matches; it’s not only for the player however conjointly a take a look at of WHO actuality fan is.
