sir i disagree . the three major sport in SA are cricket , soccer and rugby . all of them are seasonal sports . now it was the time of soccer and rugby but according to the head of Cricket South Africa IPL has displaced both of them .
some days back i read in Times Of India ( one of the most reputed newspapers of india ) , they had taken interviews of some common south african people . one of them was a shop owner at a major cricket ground and he said that the responce to IPL has been at par with matches of south africa .
the trickets for the first 4 games were sold in less than an hour . snow patrol peformed at the IPL opening ceremony , Matt Damon was present at the IPL dinner .
IPL is becoming a global phenominon .
if it makes you feel better - then so be it!good luck!remember too much of a good thing can ruin it!
3 straight win in a row . Bangalore royal challengers are looking as a team now .
Finally an RCB supporter. I thought our breed was facing extinction
For all the controversies, twists and turns that have dogged the T20 cricket tournament since its inception last year, as an enterprise, IPL is already worth more than $2 billion and counting, says UK based brand valuation consultancy Brand Finance. The IPL brand alone has a value of over $311.94 million, according to a Brand Finance report available exclusively with ET.
With cricket-crazy Indians lapping up the slam-bang version of the gentlemans game, IPL has generated huge economic value for both its owner, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), and the eight team franchisees.
And, it has set the stage for the franchisees to list their teams on the stock market. Following are the team valuations:
