Couple of days back I went to see a match between Mumbai Indian & Rajasthan Royals in D.Y Patil Stadium at Nerul, Navi Mumbai. First time went to see an IPL match. Amazed to see a stadium was full of crowd on a weekday that too not for an International match, its a city match. Colorful atmosphere all around with a DJ buzzing on a full throttle. People came with Drums & trumpet's, it was like a festival time. With artificial lights blazing at its best & a lush green ground, really gives an awesome atmosphere. Not to forget the cheer leaders who are on their toes always to look for an opportunity to shake their bellies like Shakira & some moves which are not to far from Madhuri's dancing skills to match the theme songs of IPL teams whenever sixes or fours been hit by their own franchisee team. On a broader sense the cheerleaders are well awerse in their dancing skills & certainly added a flavor which crowd were throughly enjoying.
This T20 format definitely revolutionizing the way cricket is beenplayed & its certainly an entertainment prospect with action & thrill component. I feel Cricket crazy Indian public deserve it. Already acceptance in general public can be seen by the way almost all the matches were played in front of sold out crowd.
Also want to add that though people are moved by this format due to its compactness & added flavors but the quality of cricket also need to be compliment as it is of a high class. That is actually proved in the first match itself when Mc Cullum hit a mind boggling century with a terrific hitting of power & class. Also the young upcoming players of India also getting chance to play with a proven performers is definitely going to prove worthwhile in near future.
I am really moved by seeing the IPL match due to its competitiveness, thrill, fun & festivity.
