The IPL Experience






Sunny day all around Chennai, sweat boils the body and we have the colorful masala coated, (hi meant the girls over there it’s down south man) and the top entertainer “IPL” match between Chennai super kings (Really They Are) and the Kolkata Knight Riders (I could not see any pony over there) right over the MAC stadium.

The cheers started from the road side of chepauk where u have got thunderous fans applauding, blowing out whistle and full of energy, hope and joy, one could witness the spirit and passion or at least the entertainment for cricket that the people of Chennai have.

The stingy smell from the surroundings and the patrol roaming here and there make u feel bad than the hot sun, finally the war is set and the battle has begun this is how the announcement goes when the players start their nets right out in the ground, bang on ! , Suddenly comes a gorgeous voice that not only attracts the astounding audience gathered right over but also the apprehensive players.

We could see lot of young and beautiful women to ramp across the stands along with their bubbling boy friends (Not as smart as their pair), but that’s not the real kick over there that day, when the percussionist started to rock up with his drums which is beyond excellence to be compared, everything was fine that day except the heat that was literally melting us.
Finally the play started (I meant the real game not any drama) and it was a dream come true to watch batsmen like “Ganguly” and “pointing “batting right out in the middle, but it was short dream as both din’t progress well in the match, it is really a different experience to view a match live in the place its actually played, but factually no replays, no commercial breaks. It was really different to us as it s the first time we went to watch a live match in action…. It was the Chennai super kings who were in the drivers seat and it’s really unfortunate for the Chennai people as we could not watch the “MIGHTY MCCULLUM s fire works with his bat., but it’s was a good show by the knight riders to post a pretty decent target on the board.

We were behaving like a child when we saw some of the top players’ moving towards the stands and waving the hands would tell it’s a brand new experience to watch a match live in action rather than in TV which zooms up actually what is not the reality that’s happening right over there..

The floods light pay in a romantic mood even if u not with u r girl friend, there is no place for romance in my case as I went with my friend. It has been the cheer leaders who were not only cheering the crowd but also the people right over there and also the hungry media, thank god it was really censored show by the cheer leaders giving no way for any controversies.
It was a fine afternoon and a breezy evening with lot of young charming ladies stealing our eyes away from the parking area when we stood in to move our vehicle post match , that was the first time I am in witness of beauty of Chennai a blend of hot chicks to homely teens, thanks to IPL, it has been more of entertainment for us than cricket and it has been more and more Moolah (Money) for the BCCI than cricket, I am sure of watching another IPL match soon but not alone
