PCB proposes England hosts ODI tri-series featuring India 
Cricket Beyond boundaries |
Every one is talking about the controversies in IPL, Shashi Tharoor, Lalit Modi and all.
Any financial deal or anything where such huge money is involved, it's bound to happen. No body knows that what will be the end of this drama, one side we have the big baby of IPL Lalit Modi (man with brains and money) and on the other hand we have Shashi Tharoor , Income Tax dept and other political biggies. One can only hope for a happy ending to this decade�s biggest blockbuster. People who know Modi are quiet confident that he will sail through this storm too.
In this drama we all are forgetting some nail biting matches and the growing relations between the international stars with Indian players and especially the young brigade. Last Wednesday I was watching a match between RCB and Rajasthan Royals, Kevin Pieterson was hitting ball like a master and Rajasthan bowlers were just helpless. Suddenly due to a misunderstanding with Virat Kohli he got run out. He reacted very furiously. It was due to 2 reasons one KP was sitting out for last 3-4 matches and it is really very annoying for a player of the status of KP to sit out. And secondly because he was playing a gem of a inning. He went out in anger and even I believed he also abused Virat. This was very heartening to see two senior players behaving like this. It is a very normal scenario in gali cricket but not at this level. But the best came after the match was over when RCB won the match both players were seen hugging each other and talking and laughing. This was very pleasant to watch that these two players patched up so soon and behaving like frnds.
In the same match when Manish Pandey was batting and RR was looking for a breakthrough, Yousuf Pathan came to Shane Warne and suggested him some strategy. This is a rare site and again a good example of growing relations between the players.
Again in the match between Delhi and Chennai after the match Amit Mishra and david Warner were behaving like two very close friends. We don't see an Indian and Australian like this but IPL has made this possible which is very good for International Cricket and will also increase in Sportsman ship of the players.
The only team which looks denying this fact is Deccan chargers where the onground think tank consists of Gilly (Captain), Symonds,Harris and Gibbs.
Domestic players who are not getting a chance to play either in IPL nor in Indian Cricket team will definitely be enriched with vast experience of legends likes of Murli, Gilly, Sachin, Warne and others.
