CRICKET has always been a worship for the country. India has been very synonymous to "the cricketing nation". The originality of game deteriorated with T20 but the enjoyment increased and the people accepted it with open arms. Suddenly, why is the essence of the game being lost? IPL has been the biggest and most successful cricket league till date. The flaw at the managerial level has spreaded its clutches and reached the spirit of the game. The money flow in the league is not justified yet; and the connections travel from all the poosible reasons from mafia to industrialists to betting to match fixing and even to cross border links. Eveybody is here to earn, be it the management, the franchisees, the players and everybody related to it. But not at all at the cost of game-value or killing the soul of the sport. The question arises, at the end of it all, BCCI remains the umbrella for all the cricketing going on in India. Is this really the first time that BCCI realised about the money movement within the IPL? Though the demand of JPC (joint parliament committee) for the investigation is very well understood and acceptable, would it serve the purpose of an honest and foolproof fact-finding? After the sleek involvement of an educated and sensible minister of External Affairs, Mr. Tharoor, is anybody else reliable enough to hand over the responsibility? The web that has been knit around the scandal is being tracked only after Kochi team franchisee got into questions. Starting from Mr. Shashi Tharoor, whom the younger generation looked upto, the controversy exposed Mr. Modi's deeds, switching on to Mr. Patel,Mr. Pawar, and whos who of the Indian Politics are being dragged and truely cracked.
The question remains... Is IPL the next BIG scam after Satyam? Is this the end of the "money-spinning legendary T20 tournament"?
