IPL sensation and election heat

In the beginning, this BCCI was poor. Later became rich. He is very rich now. In the beginning, this BCCI was also weak. Later became powerful. It is also very powerful now. This is what the rich and powerful BCCI says in world cricket. Especially till the nineties, there was a big complaint of Indian cricket, why is England and Australia dominating this world cricket? Why is the voice of only white people loud?

Now India is ruling the world cricket by taking England and Australia in their hands. Needless to say, the BCCI has no time to reminisce about the old days. Reiterating all these discussions, why is the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 starting yesterday? So far, only a total of two weeks' schedule has been released. The 17th edition of the tournament is not yet decided.

Why is this concern starting from June 1 in the West Indies and America, the Twenty20 World Cup? It will happen tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Maybe this World Cup will be overshadowed before the IPL this time? Maybe it could be. Maybe not. Perhaps why is it that after the IPL is over, only the tired players will play the World Cup. So it can fade. No, the current IPL will give rhythm to this World Cup. The

will pave the way for the thriller, so maybe not. That means this World Cup could be more exciting because of IPL. At least one fact is certain. For the next three to four months, the excitement of Twenty20 cricket will exceed the limit for those who love cricket. The excitement of IPL will be sky high on our side too. After that, Nepal is also playing in the next World Cup, so rumors of the World Cup will be spread based on the IPL.

So let's be a little positive. Going straight to the IPL itself, there are also some major questions that will dictate how the tournament will progress. The two most successful teams in the history of this tournament are Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians. Both have won the IPL five times each. Although not in the lead from Chennai Once again Mahendra Singh Dhoni is playing. The question is, how long will Dhoni play? One day you have to stop, you are already 42 years old.

Whether Dhoni will retire from IPL now or tomorrow, no one can guess. Last year, Dhoni could not play as a player. Played with a knee injury. Towards the end of the innings, a couple of fours came to hit a six. But he won the title with Chennai. Especially his quality is captaincy. He has done many things to Chennai as captain. Most likely, this will be the last IPL that Dhoni will play.

In the Mumbai team, there is a lot going on. Many are not satisfied with the assignment of Hardik Pandya as the captain. He was the captain of Gujarat Titans in the last IPL. Before that, he played for Mumbai for a long time. Pandya was dropped from Gujarat amid controversy to replace Rohit Sharma, who was the regular captain. Sharma is currently the captain of the Indian team. Why is Pandya dearer to Mumbai than him?

is also difficult to understand. But there must be some breath in it. The Ambani family runs this team. So this decision must have been made after some thought. Again, under the leadership of Sharma, Mumbai played very badly last season. Chennai and Mumbai are the most successful teams in the IPL while the most unsuccessful team in the tournament is Royal Challengers Bangalore. Since then it has adopted a new name, Royal Challengers Bangalore.

RCB in short. This team has never won the IPL. It seems like the title will be won every time. But he can't win. This is the team that will fail in the end. So this is a failed team. The biggest name in this team is Virat Kohli. After that, Kohli, despite being as good a player as he is, has not won the IPL. He has played for this team since the beginning and has said that he will never change it and play elsewhere.

That's why I'm afraid Kohli's CB will never have an IPL title, isn't it? Now it is starting to be said, this time if Kohli is going to win the IPL, he has won. Otherwise you can't. He has one last chance. He himself also turned 36 years old. He did not even play the Test series against England due to family reasons. Kohli, who has been out of the field for a long time, is making a sudden appearance in the IPL. Are you in rhythm or have you lost it? It was another question about Kohli.

Another player will be all eyes on him and that is Rishabh Pant. This wicketkeeper-batsman will also captain Delhi Capitals. It is surprising that Pant started playing again. In 2022, he met with a terrible car accident. He was lucky, so he survived. Looking at his condition at that time, it was his closest guess that he will not be able to play cricket again. But proving everyone's guess wrong, he has returned to the field.

How much he worked hard for this, what kind of treatment he was involved in, a separate discussion is needed. But for the way he started playing cricket again, he has to be saluted once. He just has to do a little better, he too will be in the Indian team for the T20 World Cup. Especially not only him, those who will do well in this competition, they will be in the national team of their country.

Needless to say, the best players in world cricket are the ones who will play in the IPL. Amidst all this background, it remains to be seen where the impact of a third party will be on the IPL and the Twenty20 World Cup. And, this is the 6-week long general election in India. That election will be held from April 19 to June 1. The issue of safety will be the core. Even during cricket, immense security arrangements are necessary. This may not be possible when there is a

election. However, the sensation of cricket and Indian politics will continue in parallel. Both sides will have the same debate. Meanwhile, the answer to the question whether the IPL is bigger or the World Cup may differ from person to person. Keeping that aside, the question can also be, is politics bigger or smaller than cricket in India? The big thing is politics. But who will be discussed? Let's watch, let's enjoy.
