Indian Premier League is going to change the cricket, not only in India but everywhere in the world. Though I doubt anyone would be able to get such huge money involved in the game. It is one of those things that can only happen in India. From celebrities, Industrialists and politicians to a common man, every one loves cricket and there is no doubt that it is the most popular sports in world’s second most populous country. Indian Premier League would change the way cricketers thought of glory, fame and money.

Cricket had a reputation of being a gentleman’s game. With the end of colonialization, new cricketing nations appeared on the cricket horizons. At that time it was considered as a threat to the decency and seriousness of Cricket as a sport. But new nations only brought fame, glory and money to Cricket. Now there is so much involved in Twenty20 Indian Premier League that it got ICCI worried. They are worried about match fixing, corruption, and of course their authority on the cricket.

Gary Kirsten newly appointed coach of India’s national cricket team told CricInfo that IPL brings new challenges. He is not interested in joining the new IPL twenty20 era as yet. He said he is more focused on his new assignment of training the Indian Cricket Team.
