IPL and punters and Lalit Modi and more...

it all started wid ICL...it was a a private funda funded by ZEE Entertainment..2007-09
ZEE initially had bid(it was d highest bid)for 2003 WC n after dat for 2004 season also...wich again happened for 2006 champions trophy...after lots of court battle n war of prestige Zee Telefilms announced that it would partner with IL&FS to create a new, ambitious cricket organisation, the Indian Cricket League wid prize money of one million the initial edition for the winning team.
it had nine teams...after world championship and world series it kinda failed...
The BCCI refused to recognise the ICL as a cricket league, and criticised Kiran More and Kapil Dev for joining the ICL.The future of ICL has become dark when BCCI allowed ICL players to play international matches.

BUZZ OFF ICL WELCOME IPL
IPL was initiated by BCCI.first season of the tournament started on 18 April 08 and lasted for 46 days.
2nd season coincided wid Elections in India and for security reasons it was sto South Africa.
3rd season started wid players auction in Jan 2010.
4th or current season has two new teams frm Pune and Kochi.
3rd IPL season had 60 matches n addition of two new teams wud make dat number 94 so BCCI replaced the round-robin stage by a group stage with two groups of five, limiting the number of matches to 74.

Rules
Minimum squad strength of 16 players plus one physio and a coach.
No more than 10 foreign players in the squad and at most 4 in the playing XI.
As this is domestic cricket so minimum of 8 local players must be included in each squad.
A minimum of 2 players from the BCCI under-22 pool in each squad.
timeout was introduced wich was to taken after 9 and 16th over.
as IPL had lots of commercials over rate was not as issue for teams.


in ipl KKR is the worst performin team wid least no of wins..
n CSK is d best team.
still KKR is s biggest brand in IPL worth $ 54.2 m..

nw in IPL 2011 player auctions were held wich made lots of changes in the team...KKR won two highest bids viz gautam gambhir n yusuf pathan...


Controversies...
IPL had controversies wid english n welsh cricket board and cricket australia and PCB abt player availability and schedules...bt as BCCI nearly owns the ICC everything was sorted out...bt it suffered d biggest setback by its own chairman MR.LALIT MODI.

lalit modi is an amzin businessman.here are some his deals
ESPN distributor for india in 1994 for $975 million
Team Sponsorship Deal for Team India with Sahara group for 4 years - $103 million 2005
Media Rights Deal with Nimbus for 4 years - $612 millionn 2006
The Indian Premier League sold eight franchises - US$723.59 million 2008IPL
Media Rights Deal with Sony - $1.26 Billion 2008
IPL Theatrical Rights Deal with UFO and ESD for over 300 Crores 2009

A TWEET by Modi declaring the KOCHI OWNERS allegedly breaching confidentiality agreements led to the resignation of the then
shashi tharoor.

Modi was then suspended as Chairman and Commissioner of the IPL in April 2010.

An income tax department report on Modi has revealed that he holds a silent stake in three IPL teams - the Rajasthan Royals, Kings XI Punjab. there are questions as to whether Modi was involved in match fixing and betting in Indian Premier League games.

so this is it.
IPL 2011 has started and I am supporting KKR as always.n hopin dat this time it ll reach d SEMIS.
BTW there is one more thing as per INDIAN BETS this time stakes on IPL by the punters are as high as Rs. 12000 crores...so lets hope IPL stays out of fixing...
