Why IPL hype is so smaller this time?

Signs of Dhoni twilight

Kohli looks the least fired up,just shows up as a journeyman cricketer these days

People have forgotten that their is something beyond politics,state elections, other stuffs,war, the hangover isn't over yet

It will kick in slowly steadily as the event goes on like a good scotch once again

Less than a week away barely any sort of hype for new season.

Indians probably fed up with the idea:dontknow: last year's Hotstar ratings were less.   BCCI has changed things up a bit in the format.  Let's see if it touches the heights of IPl 2020 again. 

Everyone is just happy to be out and about. 2 years of  pent up wanderlust due to the lockdown/restrictions.

 

As the season progresses you'll see a renewed interest.

Not really.. I thought there was more hype this year than ever, with so much coverage of practice sessions, jersey unveil etc. I don't remember previous editions having so much coverage..

 

Or maybe your definition of hype is something else?

India's disaster performance in world T20 is the main reason. No one will care about IPL if national team dont do well...this ain't football

The two aren't co-related at all.

Watching IPL is an entertaining experience. No one not watches IPL as a punitive measure for the Indian cricket teams' poor T20 WC performance.

It looks fake though. For long Indian public perceived IPL as the gold standard of T20 cricket and likes of SKY, Kishan, Pandya, Varun C. etc as T20 superstars based on their IPL heroics. To see them getting exposed so brutally in world stage was an eye opener for Indian public and have put them off. At-least that is what I think. 

 

If we do well in this upcoming T20 WC, the interest in next IPL will go high automatically

Achha, didn't we win  before,since the inception of IPL

How is it fake?and how were they exposed? Last t20 wc was a lottery,teams batting last enjoyed massive advantage

These are young cricketers dont dismiss them based on two matches andwe  didn't have the best of the buildup to the wc

Plus,our pace bowling attack was not upto the mark

We need guys like Venky,Pandya,Kishan in t20 cricket,guys with solid text book technique aren't needed any more in t20s same is the case for one too many slower ones specialists

I don't understand still we have people who think we can win wcs without taking risks, around

Failures are part and parcel of the game as is Success,why do we need to go back to same old tested failure of consolidation

Mitch Marsh wasn't setting world on fire by his performances,Wade too but Australia knew they have the talent and skill to win them WC,that is enough you have to believe in players who have that sort of capacity,even if they don't have best of stats

IMO you are conflating two very different issues here.

 

In terms of sheer entertainment value, there is NO competition in the world of cricket that comes close to the IPL. Not even the ODI WC.

 

A t20 wc is a handful of games. It is not even a true reflection of how good or bad a player is. The UAE version was so toss dependent. The IPL is the strongest T20 tournament in the world and has been so for a while now. You can't be a nobody team and ride on luck to win across two months. You have to be consistent.

 

I don't know about others, but I'd say IPL is far more important for the BCCI (and its coffers) and by extension Indian cricket than some half baked T20WC in the UAE.

Buddy, Ind does not have an ideal mindset to play sports … In cricket too we need multitude of resources to compete and sustain the catch up game … Most of innovation in the game too has come from other countries

Part of IPl's success in 2020 when ratings hit the roof was Covid pandemic & lockdows.  Touching those highs will be near impossible. 

Last year's IPl started off in slow turners of Chennai & all initial hype & build up was destroyed. 

I think this season will be better than last.  Hopefully doesn't drags on with additional two teams & quality stays great.

You have new players in team  so there is that lose of connection  which again needs developed  and teams not playing in homegrounds. I mean i was planning  to go to RCB match in Bangalore with friends  but as its not happening  we have not even discussed about IPL

 

I mean i am not sure if I should support  RCB with ABD not playing and new team dosnt feel connect which would happened  if it was in Bangalore for me its like any other team with matches played in Mumbai

 

But  once IPL starts i think you will good interest

Only thing that I could agree is the last bolded part, perhaps its your opinion only.
