IPL Cricket- Harmful Impacts of this commercial Game

This blog is in continuation of my blog dt 24th of July 2015 regarding" AVIYAL Cricket of India IPL- A Gamblers Paradise". It has almost been decided that from Nest Indian Premier League ( I.P.L) there would be two new teams in place of the two banned Teams Chennai Super Kings and Rajastan Royals.not only this but from the year 2018 after lifting the Ban there would be 10 Teams in IPL on a permanent basis.This is a decision taken by the IPL Governing Council. Let us examine the negative impacts of this decision. First of all the third version of the cricket viz T 20 cricket which is a reduced version of One Day Internationals approved by ICC since 1975. There is a T20 World cup also approved by the ICC besides Test Matches which are the classic versions of world cricket.The international and Indian cricketers who are to play these 3 versions of cricket,viz one day internationals,test matches and T20 world cup.the same players often take part in IPL cricket also.such players have to run after money also and do not get time to rest.thiscalso affects the quality of international Nation to Nation Cricket.thus they spoil their health also. The IPL is a commercial version of cricket involving Astronomical amounts of Money .The players auction cost,the sponsors cost,the Television rights ,the publicity involving Cheer girls and all together make it a Hungama besides Gambling in the form of Spot fixing and Betting.All these together ,makes the original Nation to nation classical Cricket less valuable and less honoured.This makes the very presence of Nation to Nation games of Cricket a mockery rather than a competition with National spirit.There is also a tendency among players to play for money instead of National victory.This is not an established fact.But a hidden secret.There are still players who play for Nation with Patriotism.However,the real charm of cricket is lost .The IPL seriously affects the standard of International cricket involving cricket playing Nation. A solid part of the crowd on the Stadiums where IPL is staged and in front of Television Sets all over the World ,are school and College students.More than the 40 days duration of IPL every year their mind and attentio are concentrated on IPL discussions and watching the games.Naturally this affects their basic cause of Education seriously.A large number of parents have this opinion in their mind though they do not express openly.Some wise parents are putting restriction on them but not very effective . Secondly,this Hungama started by Lalith Modi who discovered the commercial scope for making money simultaneously for himself and collectively for the players,sponsors ,Broadcasting Channels,and for all those who connected with the conduct of it from advertisement to even restaurants in and around the Stadium.For around 40+days IPL conquers the nation in one way or other.A lot of money in Crores and Crores are being spinned for which there is not even clear accountability. For the same reason and various irregularities relating to IPL Shri Lalit Modi is in exile for whom even look out notice has been served.the accountability is a serious matter which could even turn up and down the Economy of the nation. There ,it appears,does not exist proper records of transactions of money received and spent.Even the Government is not aware of the Tax evasion that could have happened all around. Besides,it has been proved beyond doubt that the game of cricket in the form T20 is a platform for Spot fixing and betting which are the evils of the society without an element of Doubt. Until and unless these transactions are made accountable by taking over by Government and audit by CAG is introduced,the stability of Indian Economy can not be guaranteed . With all these happening in front of our eyes,do we need such a sports event which could break the basis of Indian Economy.?there are many more games and Sport events in India.They do not get proper recognition because of this cricket Hungama.Basically this was the reason why A football league also started last year.it is quite a reasonable demand that all sports and Games should have equal recognition for example Hockey ,Lawn Tennis,Table Tennis,and athletic events in the country .This is why we have a Sports Ministry in the cental Government as well as a sports department in the different States.The National Games is a glaring instance of the Government doing it themselves. So, it is time either to ban or Government to take over the IPL management. Thirdly,while India as a Nation is facing shortage of Electricity which often compels state Governments to employ Power cut resulting in enormous inconveniences to the public and especially for students who are to convert themselves as the Pillars of society in future. The power generated in the country and distributed by subsidized rate ,is being used by this IPL Hungama extravagantly to which the Government machinery themselves close their eyes. It is a matter to be looked into seriously whether we need such a Hungama or, if needed ,should it not be made covered by proper accountability and Audit by CAG of India?
