I am a great lover of cricket. My entire boyhood spent playing it. There was no single day, I wouldn't touch a cricket bat and ball. I had played a lots of games. I won't be surprise if the number goes higher that a current player. I went to school ; played cricket there. In break , I played cricket. I came home, went off to filed and even in boeard exam, every day I came back home after exam and I even had no time to remove my school bag to go off to filed. Crazy!! In school we used to make two teams and everyday there was fight to take me on their squad cause I was a valuable one. We played both limited over and test macthes. Once I did very bad to others; entire they fielded and bowled but they had no chance to bat cause I was not out the entire they....lol. It continues for the next day and Finally I was caught out after playing for 4 overs on that day. I score 250 but I didn't count the overs.😂😂

The greatest ever tournament in cricket, Indian premier league (IPL) has been celebrating its 15th anniversery. It all started in 2008. It comes once a year but because of pandamic we just missed it a single time. Previously participants team were 8 but now there are 10 of them.And in the commig years there will be more as already been announced.

When I was in school there was just two format of the game. But now there are four formats in cricket. Test, oneday and T20. T20 is the latest edition and it is loved by maximum number of people. A Test match continues to 5 days max. An Oneday is a 50 over match both side. The most exciting one is T20. Here each of the teams got 20 overs l, which conprises of 6 balls(six deleveries).

This year IPL is going fantastic for cricket lover. Most of the matches are high scoring ones. Expectators always want a high scoring match. Year maximum number of mathes are reaching 200 but in previous IPL season what we found occassionally. I am from kolkata and I support my home team KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDER (KKR). My team is doing great this year. They are really suprising me; they lose against team but win agaisnt a tough one..lol I can't find the logic behind it. Obviously they are strong enough to win the trophy 🏆. Still a lot of distance to cover.

Round of 10 is not a kock out phase. Eveyone has just to win 60% matches they play cause out of 10 only 4 of them will be qualified for play off, next knock out phase. Let's hope for the best.

All is okay but behind all fun there is hiding one noxious business around the world. You can't say if a match is fixed out side the play ground. A bookie is always ready to do that.Now-a-days people are loosing hope. Can you believe a match where 32 needed from 32 balls with 8 wickets in hand!! The team loses it!! There many exapmle players are suspended involving in such meticulous circle, still it continues. As far as I know In national level, there is no fixing but in home league it has become unbeable. It seems like cricket institutions too are on it. This is really a shame for cricket. I have seen a lot of people stopped watching cricket because of bribery and max fixing. I hope things will get sorted soon as it looses viewers. But I go to enjoy the game ; who does what is not my concern, I just enjoy the game.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Wish you a good IPL.
