Indian premier league (IPL) 2 is back , as usual all the people around the world are glued to their television set for live action from south african cities . IPL was shifted from India to south africa as its schedule was coinciding with general elections 2009. As a result people has to be satisfied watching cricket match live on tv rather than visiting the stadiums.
First match of IPL has seen many unexpected winners specially the royal challengers of bangalore defeating rajasthan royals . In other t20 cricket match mumbai indians defeated chennai super kings . Other attraction of IPL cricket matches are the cheer leaders and they dance and cheer for every run or wicket gained by the their team . But the point of discussion is whether these girls are promoting obscenity ?????? Let us know your view (write your comments below).
There are 8 teams participating in this IPL T20 tournament , which are listed below:
- Kings XI Punjab
- Rajasthan Royals
- Delhi Daredevils
- Mumbai Indians
- Knight Riders
- Deccan Chargers - Hyderabad's Team
- Royal Challengers
- Chennai Super Kings
All these matches can be watched for live score and updates on Max channel from south africa . Those are not able to view the score of each T20 IPL matches can get the score popular websites like rediff and most of the IT sector companies have blocked such score publishing websites . Well still all sites cant be blocked , so start googling for new wesbites .
IPL has also come game called as Indian fantasy league , where you can select your playing 11 from all the players available for IPL and each time your choosen player scores runs or takes wicket in the real cricket match you will be awarded points and the winner will get rewarded at the end of the season . More over many teams are fighting it out online too having exclusive websites and blogs to promote their respective teams. Team best at promotion and advertising is Kolkatta Knight Riders - KKR , Shahrukh khan being the centre of attraction .
Other league which was started by Zee called as Indian Cricket league - ICL is the inspiration for Indian Premier league - IPL . Currently talks are being held at ICC for recognising the ICL also , we can hope that in near future we can see a contest between IPL and ICL .
Well the team i m supporting is obviously DECCAN CHARGERS team from Hyderabad which is promoted by a local Hyderabadi newspaper . Even though Deccan chargers could not perform upto the expectations in the last season , a lot is being expected from them in this season . Specially after Adam Gilchrist is made the captian of Deccan Chargers cricket team , all players seems to be pumped up. First match of Deccan chargers is on 19 th april 2009 with Kolkatta Knight Riders starting at 07:30 PM IST .Well those have missed the live action can always watch IPL videos on IPL's website or youtube. Watch this space for more IPL 2009 updates .
