CRICKET IN GRIP OF MONEY

ARVIND K.PANDEY

The Indian Premier League ( IPL )might be today in a position to dominate the world of cricket with its money power but it would not be able to retain its charishma and charm for a very long time . Ultimately , it's cricket devoid of glamour of money that would rule over the hearts and minds of the cricket lovers , being devoid of nuisances of phataphat cricket .Rickey Ponting has rightly stated that crude show of money is destroyiing the essence of cricket .Yes, the ICC should have anticipated that introduction of T20 format of cricket would only lead to death of real cricket with market gurus turning it into channel of making huge money. Lastly ,there should be a serious probe by the Income Tax Department to ascertain the real source of money of the movie starlets backing up the various teams .
