IPL Beleaguered

I am too naïve to write the disgusting politics and nepotism whose smell made me nauseous in the year of the inception of grand start of IPL. Here I am witnessing the multi-billion sports affair loosing the credit. It was the year 2008 after the legend over of Stuart Broad IPL kicked off and trying to rebuilt the lost charm of cricket after disastrous performance in 2006 World Cup. T20 world cup was kickoff for Indian cricket when Dhoni and squad won the first ever T20 world cup. Beating the most aspired looser from Indian fan perspective Pakistan. They became heroes and role model. The big business bullies of India cant let go this big in-hand opportunity.
Rightly said successful person don’t do different thing they just do the things differently but it is adept to add they also hammer the iron when its hot. IPL a grand success since its very inception, brought in lot of money, although nobody actually cared from where. Is this whole idea was of just one man I am afraid not. Lot of calculation and analysis would have been required. In small marriage in India everyone along with Groom everyone have their share of pie, this was a monster.
Definitely it brought entertainment to vast population of India with some tincture to cricket loving nations. It had names which were legend, it had full support from government, it had all biggies involved it was the most masaledaar news. And no doubt it became success. Shifted to South Africa where government is more concerned had some charity apart from boosting the economy where world was facing the biggest meltdown. They exploited it in their favor and had done a fantastic job.
Simple economics, if demand is more calculatingly increase the supply esp if you are getting the best bargain. We witness the expansion with addition of couple of teams and this was not a very good idea esp when a person is involved whose life is quite open thanks to advancement in social networking. Things went out of the hand and we are witnessing couple of scapegoat due to grand opening of name bidders.
Some facts openly admitted make my throat sour. There are millions of middle class people working and yet finding it hard to enjoy little bit of luxury but a billion dollar firms earning profit definitely in double digits had the luxury of tax evasion.
India administration is too typical to understand but there some basics of economies which every country should follow is kind of forgotten by politician running the state.
