IPL is no longer that interesting

[Austin 3:!6]

Is it only me or it is no longer the league that it once used to be?

 

Back in DLF IPL days (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011) all the matches were highly anticipated, massive fan following, much more emotions attached to it. I somehow do not feel the same excitement with the IPL anymore. Boring matches, poor commentary, avg cricketers. The entire product seem to have a downfall. Only on free time if I have nothing to do, I catch little bit of IPL these days.

 

So why you think IPL is losing its charm? Is it an oversold product already?

To me it's still the same. I have always followed IPL to track Indian youngsters and upcoming players. Still do the same so no change yet. Was never a fan of a particular team and follow players. I might follow DD one day when Pant is batting but follow Punjab the next day coz Sandeep is bowling.

Reduce the teams to 6 .... which means we have 42 top Ind talent on display .... Earlier how international players and Ind stars performed used to be the draw. Now it is how the youngsters perform so may be time to give them enough space / platform to perform

1. Injuries

2. Commentators

3. No CSK, RR. 

 

Get commentators who can make viewing more interesting... Mike Haysman, Ian Smith, Simon Doul, even Harsha Bhogle..

Enough of Manju, LSRK, Danny Morrison

Lol, every year after the first few matches we have people saying this. Then in the middle the matches get interesting, the point table starts mattering and we have some really, really close matches with people following passionately.

True. I've seen threads like these the past five years or so...
