The hype called DLF IPL is now over. The people now will get
out of their houses in the evening, the children will rush up in the parks and
the shopkeepers will also start making money in this period of the day. The
newspapers will not be having the Analysis and the detailed Score Sheets of the
last evening games and the controversies happening in the IPL.
What we saw in this year’s IPL? Some fantastic Cricket,
unfortunate match fixing allegations on some players, the rave party incident,
the demolition of ‘the God of Off-side’, the title clinching of the Kolkata
Knight Riders and the ‘unprecedented’ involvement of a CM in the celebration of
the KKR.
The IPL TV Commercials always had some senseless taglines
like: ‘Aisa Mauka or Kahan Milega’, ‘Yahaan Sab Kuch Milega Extra’, ‘Bharat
Band’ etc. And in a way, these TV Commercials are giving the right message as
well. The IPL gives the media everything including the match report, the
thrilling moments, the controversies, the debate on the league and, thus, it
matters a lot to the Media people.
The TRP Graph shows this was the best IPL of the lot and, by
far, the most profitable to the BCCI. No wonder, they decided to share the
revenue with the Ex-Cricketers as they might be having shortage of the space to
keep their money in!
