Cricket, Rain, India & more

Saw my first IPL game live yesterday. Delhi Daredevils vs Kings XI Punjab. IPL (Indian Premier league) is a new initiative and cricket league to India that aims to emulate the franchise concepts of English Soccer leagues, NFL leagues etc. A lot has been written and said about the IPL (just do a google search) so I wouldnt dwell on that.

Seeing the game in the sold out stadium, the atmosphere was quite electric. Though the rain and Duckworth/Lewis put a damper on the outcome of the game, it was still a wonderful experience. I think IPL is good thing for Indian and world cricket in general. Seeing cricketers of different nations (Sehwag - India, Shoaib Malik - Pakistan, Glenn Mcgrath - Australia) playing in the same team and actually showing the team spirit and camradarie was good to see.

Here's a few pics from the game.
