IPL - Is it necessary!!!!!!!!!!!!

Indian Premier League was one of the most rocking events that filled the pages of history books with points except cricket(!!). Yes, though it was a cricket series, the way the event progressed was just money minded. M.S.Dhoni was caught by every cameras not because of his hitting of sixes but because of the 6 crore rupee in his bag and the no. of ads. he endorsed.
Not only Dhoni, the inclusion of cinema into sports was pathetic. Most importantly the closing ceremony of the grand event didnot have the Indian National Anthem instead had the song Andankkaka to which Diya Mirza danced a great ! number.
When entry was allowed to foreign cricketers and cheergirls, culture was asked to stay at their houses. The performance of cheergirls amidst the match was totally unnecessary.
Vijay Mallya openly slamming Rahul Dravid in the media, Harbhajan Singh strongly slapping Sreesanth in the ground , ... thus goes the count of some of the embarrassing events that overshadowed the glitz of IPL.
But still I also would say real talent was awarded(Rajasthan royals, the cheapest team, winning the championship).
Still is such a money drain necessary in a developing nation like India?
People like Mukesh Ambani can invest their sacks of money in any life giving activities, instead of investing in IPL or in a 27 storeyed bungalow.

Jai Hind!!
