Cricket festival

The much-touted Indian Premier League matches in the game of cricket has blazed sharp-shooters in the history of Indian cricket. Many outstanding players from all round the world have been 'bought' for the matches by liquor baron Vijay Mallya. Cine star Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta have pitched in for the effort.

Journos have been kept on their toes in the current series with newspapers vying with each other for 'exclusives' on the game.

One can keep track of the matches through print and TV. Avid followers of the game haven't been disappointed. Some individuals have stood out for their inputs. Adam Gilchrist, Sourav Ganguly, M.S. Dhoni, Ishant Sharma, Ricky Ponting have done well.

Every four and a sixer has been enthusiastically acclaimed by Indian audiences. Though cheer leaders from abroad have invited acrimonious debate, they set the trend for a round of applause appreciating good cricket.
