IPL : Indian Premier League Cricket.
A Mega Multi Million (or is it Billion now?) Dollar Twenty-20 Cricketing venture that brings onboard cricket players from a lot of countries is going to start for the year 2024 in a few days.
The date is 22 March 2024.
It would kick start with a match between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bangalore(RCB).
The schedule is quite long- almost two months.
Yet be ready to hear a lot of news and noise around this Tournament.

The schedule is here :

Being from Ireland, where we have a cricket team, but where very little cricket is played, I was not aware of the Indian Premier League Cricket. It does sound like a very interesting and exciting event, I hope it goes well and provides quality sporting entertainment for everyone who watched it.

Entire season last almost two months? This short. Football players in English Premier League play 10 months plus national team games.

Things are different in Cricket. There was never such a Club level tournament this long.
Yet this much length impacts other International fixtures- Test Matches, One Day Internationals and Twenty 20s (T 20s).

Yes, it is generating a lot of excitement and well good money for associated brands and others.

I know that Cricket is a big deal in India and they are masters in that game. I am just surprised that it has grown that big as a sport to gross billions, wow now that is something interesting. I will start having an interest in the sport. Is it just like baseball but maybe with a few changes like the way the bat is flat? I cannot read or follow what the people are doing in the game.

In some ways it is similar to Baseball, but perhaps the rules are more straightforward.
There are 11 players per side, two on field umpires and one Third (TV) umpire and a match referee.
There are Two players with Bats (Batsmen) who play the bowlers (who throw a ball over 22 Yards).
The rest of the 10 players "field".
The teams play turn wise.
The higher scorer wins.
May be one day I can bring a post with more detailed explanation.

Namibia, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Kenya have many people playing this sport.
I am not sure if Zambia also has a cricket team.

May be one day, Cricket would be as popular in Croatia as it is in Netherlands.

Sri Lanka is not in a very good condition. India is among the top nations.
South Africa has a good team but sometimes lacks consistency.

I have extended the voting days. Some matches have been very exciting. Yesterday, RR won a thriller against GT.
As of now, RR, KKR are doing the best.
