When Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir walk out for the toss on April 16 they will not only be shouldering the responsibilities of their respective franchises but also that of the Indian Premier League. The league, which enters the seventh year, is now facing an acid test which it shouldn’t be doing in first place. But that’s how controversy ridden this league has been. It is almost as if the league and controversy go hand in hand until the latter breaks away putting the league in an unwarranted place.
Each season has witnessed its own share of controversies, but this time, the story is far different. Every action on and off the field will be under magnifying glasses. Every big over will find conspiracy theories. How people concerned overcome these is the biggest question. After the spot-fixing controversy last season, the league simply can’t afford more damaging publicity.
This season the build-up has been quite muted. With the first leg of the league shifted to United Arab Emirates, the carnival mood that accompanies the summer now needs a reminder. Even the franchises, which generally entertain the media for interactions with the players, have played it soft and it is just three day’s away!
