Many believe the IPL to be nothing but 'hit and gigrich, fat, colourful and entertaining. Yet, not really cricket.
Players with specific skill set rule the roost while the sponsors and franchises make hay. The audience to seems to revel in its larger than life persona.
Audience
If one really want to know the importance of IPL in a domestic cricketer's life, you'd do well by being a fly-of-the-wall of a state team's dressing room for a full season.
Recognition
In the pre IPL era, the only way toi break into the India team was do well in domestic circuit. It takes a lot to finish amongst the top-three performers in a season drawn over five month.
Money
While everyone expects criketers to play for the love of the game, is's unfair to assume that they would continue without getting reasonably paid. for most first-class cricketers, making money by playing cricket is their only source of income and even though first-class cricket has become lucrtive.
