Cricket Starts

Hi all. It’s the end of the long wait for all cricket lovers. The Indian Premier League (IPL) is underway. After lot of controversies in and around the IPL, it has at last started in South Africa. Elections disturbing made IPL to shift to South Africa. South Africans have given a warm welcome with open hands. It’s a great work by Mr.Lalit Modi to shift it to South Africa and make the IPL happen.

The rains seemed to threaten but the first match started off with a bang with the leading cricketers making it to the ground. The first day saw upsets as both the finalists of the last season suffered defeat in their respective opening matches. This season though not played in home seemed to have a great support from the local crowd. Hope the IPL makes an impact on the world to globalize the game. Just keep watching the great games are still to come.
