IPL: Food for thought

There has been hue and cry about the auction of players at the Indian Premier League. People have gone as far as labeling it as the auction of the game.
But what one needs to understand is that this world works on the principle of demand and supply and the bid prices of players went in proportion with the number of franchisee owners having them in their wish list.
The thing that needs to be understood here that the soul of the game lies in nation versus nation ties and nothing can arouse sentiments higher. More money the BCCI is able to generate through IPL, stronger will be the infrastructure and thus the whole system will get better.
The stadiums that have been selected for IPL matches are going under a huge make over with the currency coming in through IPL.
Another argument thats been brewed is that the youngsters will opt the T20 style and will aim to play only in IPL because of big money. But here again one has to be reminded that IPL teams in all will pick up around 80 players from domestic and under 19 circuit. And these will be the players who are performing well at international or domestic level. So there's no question of cricketers not playing for their state or country and playing for IPL.
Still there may be problems but one has rise higher to touch the clouds. Lets hope that this Kerry Packer Part 2 movie gets public vote as well as critical acclaim.
