Hardly a week old and already the IPL has acquired a huge fan following worldwide. The extravaganza has drawn fans galore; be it the cricket crazy Indians or foreigners, be it male or female, young or the old. The IPL has definitely succeeded in bringing audience in masses to the stadiums. Families who have been thronging the malls and multiplexes have been attracted towards the stadiums. The IPL games are perceived as family outings. The Indian board has definitely struck bulls eye and has turned the attention of the world towards cricket.
But it is not all roses for the fans. What is a bit distressing is that the Indian players are yet to come to the party. There have been no stellar performances from the Indians so far. It has been the OZs who have been hogging the lime light in the IPL’s inaugural week. Be it the consistent McGrath, or the mesmerizing Warne, the effervescent Hussey, or the emerging Hopes, it has been the OZs who have saved the day for their respective teams. More distressing is the fact that, all the team captains are yet to live up to their names. The likes of Dhoni, Sourav, Sehwag, Laxman, Rahul are yet to impress. Yuvi managed a decent outing against the Royals. It is expected that these prolific players will come to the party soon otherwise the IPL might lose its place in the fan’s heart.
