This year’s IPL has been extremely dramatic and has seen the table toppers being thrown out of the tournament in two dramatic matches in the semi finals. Two teams which were at the bottom of the table last year have made it to the finals and what a turn-around it has been for the teams.

These two teams weren’t even sure of a semi-final berth till the last few matches and today they have defeated two other teams which were seated comfortably at the top of the league table. Well, it all comes down to this – T20 is anybody’s game and the master of the day will make it through.

Emergence of the Younger Players

This edition of IPL has seen the emergence of a few exceptional cricket players from India. It was a remarkable platform for them to exhibit their talents. If it weren’t for the IPL, we wouldn’t have come to know of inspiring players like S Jakati, R Ashwin, Manish Pandey, Virat Kohli, B Akhil, Sangwan, Rahane, A Nayar, T Suman, R Jadeja, Sudeep Tyagi, Pinal Shah, Asnodkar, and list goes on. Their talents wouldn’t have been widely recognized by the media and public if it weren’t for the IPL. And a few with talent strong enough to pull victory to their side are sure to go places.

The Indian Premier League has given them the much required boost to the career and a chance for them to rub shoulders with some of the all time cricketing greats and even a chance to out-perform them. This is a and will be a great chance for local cricketers to make a mark on the international level. With domestic cricket in India almost always being neglected by the media, this can be their gateway to the great cricket world.
