IPL - what is the ROI

There was so much hype about IPL, rather the most hyped cricketing event, even more than World CUP but as we come nearer to the day it seems to be fizzling out and giving gitters to all the investment. I don't think investors will make enough or actually make losses.

Too much of any thing is bad, even cricket and even if it is India where Cricket is a religion and players GOD.

BCCI- if you are listening, too much cricket is bad for the game or may be its good as Indians will get bored and will start focusing at Hockey.

IPL - Bidding of Cricketing Stars

Today is a big day for Indian cricket, no not only Indian cricket world cricket. Today was the day when bidding took place for players and there were a few surprises. Dhoni was the higher paid at 5.8cr followed by Symonds at 5.7cr. Would anyone have ever expected that Symonds would be paid so much, (one more proof that we are not a racial country and neither are we a country that discriminates.

What surprised me was that Pointing was paid low, even lower than Murli Karthik - Has he lost his charisma and fan following?

India has a proved once again that even thro it is not the no. 1 ranked team, it funds world cricket.
