Do you think IPL is killing cricket?

Question

More cheergirls and bollywood stars participating in auctions.

Is it not making the cricket an instrument to get popularity?

are cheergirls not hired to pull crowd?

Answer 1

I watch cricket only for the cheer-girls. Unfortunately they seem too traditional and under-aged. It can't be fun to watch someone trying to hit the ball on every delivery.

Answer 2

Yes

Answer 3

Not at the moment.

But it could if each country decides to introduce their own brands of IPL like England and Australia want to do. I think that could lead to an over saturation of 20/20 and there's already enough on the calendar. Having more would diminish the status of the other forms of the game.

Answer 4

yes, it is...but not because of stars..............

the cricketers will become the rival of another one.....even if they r in the same team..........because his team mate in team india will b his rival in the IPL...............so the players willl find themselves alone.............they will play for just themselves................its destroying team work.........spirit

Answer 5

Nobody watches cricket for the sake of the cheergirls. In any case, the cheergirls selected for the job do not excite any one and they do not appear to have that talent to do that too.

And, lastly, no one can kill cricket. Through IPL, you can select the best players to represent in ODIs too. And our fielding standards will improve too, with the presence of the foreign players in the teams.

Answer 6

cricket in any form attracts people and spinning money.in this format of T20 cricket, the real cricket is buried.I am associated with cricket for four decades in T Nadu.,South India.but seeing this popularity and commercialization, i am afraid the real cricket is lost somewhere. this is not cricket at all.

Answer 7

Yes IPL is killing Cricket, the Indian Cricket Board Boycotted the Zimbabwe tour of India 2009 just Because they don't have enough time for IPL Season 2 .... IPL is KILLING REAL CRICKET... even though it's interesting ..

Answer 8

no

Answer 9

Cricket has not remained only sports but has turned into a full fledged business. Business man and Big Stars know the amount of audience who are involved with cricket and will certainly try to market themselves to the largest. The passion and emotion which was used to be at earlier times will slowly get diminished as people will stop watching test cricket and will be more involved with short form of cricket.
