Bhajji- The Culprit

Verdict is out that Bhajji has committed a gruesome behavior of hitting a fellow player from the national team & has been banned for 11 IPL matches. The man with a 10 years experience of playing International cricket has erupted to a possible banter of a novice cricketer.
Harbhajan's hysteric moment of madness has fetch him with a big trouble when a couple of months back everybody has supported him against that racial abuse case in Australia.
This type of behavior should not be tolerated because this guys have an iconic status & they should act responsibly. Actually its a shame for all of us. Just when IPL is showing the power of Indian cricket, this episode has a spoilsport & created a bitter taste.
IPL has shown a right precedence by giving him a ban of 11 matches & this type of nasty activity should never be tolerated. Any sports should be played with a positive spirit. This is high time when our sportsmen understand that they should behave responsibly.

IPL- A major success

The IPL extravaganza at its peak. Boy! it has become a mother of all prime time entertainment. Clock ticks at 8 O' Clock everybody is getting glued into TV to watch cricket- Prime time entertainment. All the hoopla! of IPL has lived up its expectation. This slam bang cricket is expected to make heavy impact as a global sports all over the world. After seeing the first match when Mc Cullum hit a blazing century & the crowd turnout at Chinnaswami Stadium at Bangalore, I feel this expectation of making it a global sports is going to be successful for sure. This is the tonic Cricket which required for a long time.
As far as the added flavor is concerned that is provided by none other than SRK. That guy has amazing enthusiasm for sports. I understand he is the owner of the franchisee so he need to be in the thick of things but to be a part of the cricket matches, promotions, almost every where related to Cricket these days, shows his commitment, not to forget he is a star in Bollywood & he has commitment for movies too.
With respect to actual cricket, I would say T20 has brought a totally different version of cricket. It seems hitting sixes are easier than making a child to take milk. Now opportunities are at galore for the young people who would want to be a cricket player.
For me IPL has brought lot of excitement & loving to watch players from different countries who are enjoying each others company. Surely this format is going to be sure shot success in future.
