Has IPL served its purpose?

Anything regarding the laziest stuff like cricket can never serve any kind of purpose. Moreover concerning the totally fixed type Indian Pathetic League (IPL) which is a bane to our country's economy and infrastructure in a long run it becomes more thinkable derogatory issue. This is a time to stop thinking about this game and promote other games which has indeed and in fact more appeal and crowd globally. Games like our National Game Hockey then football, badminton, lawn tennis, table tennis etc which has greater health benefit and are more popular internationally too. We have to compete this whole world if we want us to be over the top in every positive aspects concerned.

I condemn specially this format because of the brutal fact that the concept holder (Mr. Kapil Dev) is not entertained and felicitated and the main financier (Mr. Lalit Modi) to build up the architecture is brutally thrown out like any trash. To what extent will they be selfish and so cruel?. Moreover it is only the star players who eat the most of the cake(Money for auction or bid) why not promote and prioritize the new ones so that they can also improve their conditions and can get more feel good factor?

IPL has served those cricketers who weren't able to make it to the Test team; IPL has served those who prefers money over just the love of the game; IPL has served those who loves the bowlers being clobbered for a six! or four! every ball; IPL has served those who loves to make quick money out of nothing and shame the nation on yet another scam; IPL has served those corporates who just needs to pep up their Balance Sheet with 'Miscellaneous Income' and the overall profit; AND IPL has served those skimpily clad cheer-leaders, or should I say failed models, who now profited from showing just their skin and probably even more...

But has IPL did anything better to serve the game? NO. It is beginning to ruin the love of the game where players have started preferring playing for their franchisees over their country. Gone are the days where test cricket was considered the ultimate test for the players; Cometh the IPL and test cricket now seems in its final journey unless and until something is done to regain its past glory. Yes, it has churned millions of dollars but has it churnd atleast half a dozen of Indian talent? Yusuf, Jadeja, Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina..How many of them have cemented their place in the test team? None...Now does IPL augur well for these potentially talented youngsters?

My answer: NO

Ayan I agree with you totally on the subject. The actual purpose of BCCI and the franchisee got fulfilled in terms of "PROFIT" 

Very well said, Ayan.
