Lone Wolf Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) Less than a week away barely any sort of hype for new season. Indians probably fed up with the idea 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.

bowl_out Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zen Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 (edited) Most teams are watered down so it may take time for many fans to reconnect with them … If the teams don’t do as well as they did earlier, it may take more time for fans to get into the groove Edited March 22, 2022 by zen Lone Wolf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin 3:!6 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 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 Norman, Lone Wolf and Cricspin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 LordPrabhzy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 zen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suhaan Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 (edited) 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 Edited March 22, 2022 by Suhaan zen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

Lone Wolf Posted March 22, 2022 Author Share Posted March 22, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rising Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 (edited) 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 Edited March 22, 2022 by rising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
