Well thats quite a debate, is it not? IPL, Indian Premier(lets call it this way) League started off a big way on the 18th of April. Superstars inaugurating the grand event, 8 teams, big sponsors, cheer leaders from the US and more than that the huge sum of money involved! Room for enormous adventure, thrilling last couple of overs, providential wins for some and hapless loss for others. Featuring the overseas and home players in the same team, team consisting of the 35, 36 year olds and the 19 year old kids, the term league admissible in every plausible way!
Entertainment was the motive. But how far is that acceptable?! Especially after the series of events that followed the match between Mumbai Indians and Kings XI Punjab on 25th of April?
Bhajji had slapped Sreesanth on the field soon after the match instead of shaking hands with him. Why did he do so when there was no provocation from the other end? Is this the way one reacts under pressure? Mumbai Indians have not performed well in the matches so far and have lost all the matches they have played. When the entire team is under pressure, why would one elect him as captain who is known for his loss of temperament on the field?! Does it not surmount the already existing pressure?
The cost of this was a total ban from IPL for this year and a loss of 3 crores! Now that is not even an issue the media are blowing on. They have already started talking about the Symonds issue that happened sometime this January. Issue was on Bhajji abusing Symonds as monkey. Later BCCI settled the issue. Actually, Bhajji had said tere maa ki which is more abusive than calling him a monkey! Committees never realized that and the sequent was complete.
Media are now probing into that and since the punishment was not as severe as the one given to Bhajji for IPL, questions have been raised now. They are literally making it IPL Board Vs BCCI!! This can probably ruin his career! What more can a slap cost you??!!
Where is this going to terminate? Who is singing the melancholy and who is jumping with exult?? We never know. It has always been behind the screens and will continue to do so! A gamble is what you call it...

Well, I guess the root cause for these stupid acts is lack of education. They've lost it.
Whether the public embraces them or the board punishes them, it doesn't matter. They'll never learn/change...its too late!
