Is there a real inter-franchise rivalry in IPL
Questions to those who follow IPL regularly and affiliate themselves with a particular team - is it more of a hoopla that you develop or there is a genuine feeling of association with a team? Are you gutted when your team loses, or just move on to the next match or tournament? Is there any sense of long lasting elation on wins?
If and when you would go to stadiums would you do it out of watching some quick entertainment or out of real loyalty for you side? Would you travel to watch your team play a final? When putting other teams down do you really mean it in the India-Pakistan kind of manner or is it just funzzz and stuffzzz? Are you tempted to buy outfits of your team, have a screen saver on your laptop? Basically, trying to get an idea of how strong affinities are after two seasons - does IPL offer the prospect of genuine sporting rivalries? Will they develop into the acrimonious kinds like India-Pakistan or there will always be an appreciation and respect for the opposing side due to Indian presence? |

I feel a genuine association with my team and also feel bad when the team loses
But its no way comparable with me as an Indian team fan - that is a whole diff level bashing other teams - for me, its just for fun during this season, adds spice to the contest But the growth of IPL might increase loyatly to the franchises and there will be more rivarly among fans I wont go to stadiums, buy merchandise etc, i will watch it on TV for the enjoyment and entertainment |

Funz and Stuffz!
Just like to kick some serious KKR butt! Reason: One of my best friend in College was a hardcore KKR/SRK fan amongst all the other MI ones, we decided to settle it all at the Wankhede, he was buoyant going into the game, so much so he wore his fav. KGayR Jersey and SRGay was literally tatooed all over him, and then this happened, --> EPIC KLPD . The kind of he got from the rest was one to remember. ![]() Missed that last year, so decided to have a go at mhr123, but the poor guy was already with his team's consistent streak, so went easy on him, more so I like his jokes in the laughter section.But this year with these *bubbling*teenagers sunny and andy around, I think I will be having a good ![]() P.S. I think we have a 4-0 record against the KGayR, so they are our bi@tches! P.P.S. Ludhi you need to take a closer look at the two KGayR's to know what exactly bubbly is. ![]() |

Just strictly timepass, nothing else. I had gone for the Champions Trophy game between DD and Victoria and even though DD were getting thrashed, I was busy chatting and eating and not caring about the result generally.

Support Delhi and Punjab like Indian team. If they lose, it will hurt, if they win It will be same great victory feeling. If any other team troll against Delhi, then he would be given pakistan style treatment. Specially the Rajnikaantaaz and MNS

I don't think the rivalry will get as serious as the football ones, because when the international cricket starts all of us are united and support the same individuals whose back we would have liked to see early in IPL. And at least for now, International cricket topples IPL and there is no way you can keep 'hating' that individual for a longer time. Not that I am complaining that international cricket is played at a larger extend and hope it stays the same

I think not, especially for the players who know that they have to come back to play with each other in a some days.
As a fan, I do support MI, but that does not mean that I don't enjoy when others play well or that I feel very sad when MI loses. It's fun, that's all. |
