IPL is Here!!

I am not much of a cricket fan but the "glamourous IPL" fascinates me! And finally, IPL is here! The format of IPL is just too alluring to resist! So I make sure that I stick to television screen all through IPL season and be updated with every minute detail about IPL.

I always look for opening of such big tournaments. Be it Olympics, Commonwealth Games, World Cup Cricket or IPL. But today, IPL's opening was much of a disappointment. I still remember IPL Season-1's opening! It was such a spectacular event to watch out for. The acrobats, the laser show, the performers... They were awe-inspiring. I never expected such an opening from a place like India. No offences for India! But from a country with limited resources, One cannot expect an opening which can match itself with the standards of other big tournaments like Olympics. But IPL season-1 came off as a surprise to me. Kudos to Vijay Mallya and Lalit Modi!

But what happened this time??  I tuned in to "SetMax" sharp at 6pm. The opening started at 7pm. But my wait was not at all worth it! The opening was much of an award function. The ground had a stage in the middle. There were awesome performances by people like Ali Campbell, Deepika padukone, Bjorn and Pop legend Lionel Richie. But, the event did not look like opening of IPL! There were no acrobat shows, less of laser show, less of demonstrations... I could seriously sense the feel of award functions at the opening!

After the dissatisfactory opening event,  I was in for Kolkata Knight Riders! I support them whole heartedly(Partially because Shahrukh Khan is the owner). I am watching out for the match " Kolkata Knight Riders Vs Deccan Chargers". I hope they win today and even IPL season-3 :)
