As with most things today, the IPL too has polarized opinion through the decade of its existence. It’s cricket every night, so it’s easy to form habits, and, unlike most other cricket, there’s a context and consequence to every game. ), young cricketers ruined by a meaningless format, chases so unbelievable that they can only be described as dodgy... The IPL has also provided more for young cricketers than domestic cricket could ever dream of doing—at least the ones who have their heads screwed on right. There is a lot that is good about the IPL, but the dark bits are just too dark to be ignored.
