Too much of anything is Bad.

Too much of anything is Bad. Cricket is the latest casualty. IPL the Indian Premiere League or Cricket is back in India and how? Amazing as it seems but cricket is indeed a religion in India. It's been just 2 weeks since it started but the IPL fever has caught all across India and possibly the world over, if I am not mistaken. Some enthusiast has already quoted "IPL to India is like soccer leagues in the European countries." How true? Indeed it is!!!! But as they say how long would it (the fever of IPL) last? Well most would agree that too much of anything is bad. The same will happen to cricket as well.
There was a time when I used to watch even the domestic cricket matches telecasted on the television. As on a regular doordarshan channel there was so little time for cricket. So if I saw any bit of cricket, I had to watch it, even if that meant fighting with my not so enthusiast brother. Having seen it evolve from a few hours on doordarshan to an entire sports channel like ESPN, STAR sports and from there to entire cricket channel on television like the Star cricket first and Neo Cricket now. Sony Max shows more cricket than anything in a calender year (really, not exaggerating).
I believe that the fever of IPL is definitely going to go down sooner than later, or they have to make so many changes to the game year after year to make it more exciting and to keep the interest alive. One thing that IPL is doing which should be taken care of very soon is making our key international Indian players sick and injured. The T20 world cup in West Indies is just round the corner. Key Players like Gautam Gambhir, Sehwag, Dhoni and even Yuvraaj Singh are injured or at least not completely fit. Can we put up a good performance with such a team of injured players? Players put their heart and soul to perform in an IPL match and no wonder they are left with one or the other injuries. No prices for guessing that IPL means BIG MONEY. But, these players already have tons of money from various sources. I believe they should take enough rest and should not wear out completely before they play the T20 world cup.
Another important sequence of events which I fail to understand it why is a player like Sachin Tendulkar denying to playing in T20 world cup, when he is in the peak of his form? We can understand that he wants to keep himself fit for the Test and One Day cricket and we all want him to play for India for as long as possible. But, my argument is if he can't represent India in an event like world cup why should he play for IPL. For a player like him the pride of playing for the country should always come ahead of playing for the franchisee Mumbai Indias.
With two more teams going to be added to the IPL from next year, I dont know where is all this going. Only positive outcome of this IPL is we have got so many new cricketers. Who can forget Yusuf Pathan ? No one knew much about him till IPL-I. This year Saurabh Tiwari has got the recognition. Finally, for a cricket fan I am totally confused whether it is good or bad. But still the conclusion is "Too much of anything is bad."
