iPL 7 - A whole new perspective

After 6 years of IPL, the bread and butter for millions of Indians, the way cricket is played has been changed, not only in India but around the world. True? Indeed, it has brought a new meaning to “towel in pants”, bred sports enthusiasts, made millionaires and gave twitterati plethora of topics to critic on. But most importantly, it has made Indians out of international cricketers, be it Bravo donning the lungi, Bhajji and Perera dancing, Gayle’s production language in Hindi, and so on.

The next season of IPL will see allegiance of players shifting between franchises but for CSK who tend to hold on to their near and dear, son-in-laws are an exception though. So, with this paradigm shift, there would be some rule changes as well.

  • All players should possess a twitter account to be considered for the auction.
  • CSK to replace all their cheer leader girls with Whistle blowers, the team lead being Mr. Cricket.
  • To fill the SRT void, which is like trying to seal a black hole, how many players would MI need to buy? They’d have eyed some of the CLT20 non-IPL teams, were there any?

And so on…but the most important and brain shattering change would be the inclusion of a completely international team. Interesting? But it’s the Indian PL, we just can’t have a whole bunch of non-BCCI controlled folks playing in a team, so what does BCCI do, they go ahead and name them the International Indians. Now, what does it take to play in this team, you basically need to adopt an Indian name and pray Lord Srinivasa.

So, this year IPL will feature the 8th team, the International Indians featuring
