IPL:Where in this world

Courtesy the home ministry of India: Delhi and Jaipur are out of the third revised schedule of the IPL 2009.
Now it’s upon these two states to take care of security concerns if they want T-20 in their state! What a pleasant surprise for Delhi, home to two of India’s currently playing stars cricketers and of course Jaipur, the defending IPL champion!! Indian state’s capital does not have the wherewithal to provide security to our ‘Cricket’!!!

Why so much fuss about security! We have commandos to defend all our politicians and their cronies. We have police to deploy outside the homes of every Shahrukh and Amitabh. We have personnel to guard every single flower in the Raisina Hills. But when it comes to defending the game of cricket, suddenly, problems prop up. So much so for the government that claims the credit of ‘improved’ security inside the country.

The issue is of credibility and not allowing others to exploit the recent attack on the Sri Lanka cricketers in Pakistan, wrote Rahul Bhonsle in the ‘mint’ yesterday. It’s more than that. It’s the spirit of the game, the creed of cricket which ought to be upheld against all odds. It’s the popular.

We are world’s largest democracy, my dear. Let the ‘gentleman’ be his own.
