Actually we need to move away from senior players to young players like Pant, Gill, Parag, etc. It will not only revitalize IPL but also make a good T20 international team. I think the seniors need to move away like in 2007. Dhoni, Rohit, Kohli need to stop using it for WC batting practice Switchblade and chewy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

European football is deeply established amongst fans and support from associations and can survive without rich owners In IPL if owners quits the team will fold and not exist Why would an IPL owner quit the team if they got relegated? They would still have access to buy players as normal. The team would still run as normal. But there is an incentive for the team get promotion next season by playing well in the second division. If Indians want to treat IPL as time pass and not bother about results why are there fanatics in the CSK and MI? Clearly IPL has the foundation ready for people to start forming fan bases and loyalty by players. Till you have mercenaries players hopping from one league to the other, the whole league will be mediocre quality wise- the money on offer due to sponsorships and TV rights wont change that simple fact.

In general Bishop is unbiased as a commentator. I wonder why we don't have more of him and more WI bilateral tours. I reckon our next tour to WI will be interesting to watch. Bishop takes his job seriously thats why he is good. He is not a Manju or Sunny who takes his job for granted and complain of racism. Racism against Indians in the IPL I know Manju is sh1t but Sunny became a big time bambi cheerleader last game. It was so cringeworthy in the final moments of an exciting match chewy and Switchblade 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becoz if you have put into millions, and playing in a lower division means lower match attendances, TV broadcasters will have little interest in telecasting , even top players will be reluctant to play in lower divisiion..bottom line team owners will.loose money That's why even in US, franchise leagues like NBA, NFL, MLB don't have relegation / promotion I say, IPL needs to expand, to allow some.of the good players who don't get a game to play Edited May 4, 2019 by chewy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would help if some new owners take over Kings eleven the Jsw owners are at least trying to create a fanbase or I see them trying to promote the team which Gmr never did would be good if we get owners who are trying to win the tournament teams like DD or Kings were never there to win the trophy.
