What are some amazing facts about the IPL?

 

• RAGS TO RICHES

Manzoor Dar was the only cricketer from Kashmir to feature in IPL 2018.Well his tale is inspiring as he was previously a daily wage worker for Rs 60 a day.

He had been picked by Kings XI Punjab for 60 lakh rupees.

Well he is not the only one who has been given the golden opportunity.

Names like Ravindra Jadeja,Mohammad Siraj,Nathu Singh,Sarfaraz Khan and many more…..

• FROM RICHES TO DREAMS

Money isn’t the only reason you play cricket for and Aryaman Birla proved that.

Son of Kumar Mangalam Birla who has a net worth of $10.1 billion.

Aryaman Birla was signed by Rajasthan Royals in the 2018 IPL for 30 lakh Rupees(45 thousand USD)

He has pursued his dreams than being a part of his fathers’ group.

He represents Madhya Pradesh in Ranji Cricket.

• RIGHT HANDED WONDER

Kane Williamson held the Orange Cap scoring 735 Runs.

What is amazing is he is the only right handed foreigner to win.

Other holders include 7 left handed foreigners and 3 Right handed Indians.

Even a left handed Indian has never made it.Not even MR IPL Suresh Raina

Well we had to wait for 11 seasons for this to happen.Who would have thought?

• SAME TEAM,AGAIN?????

Well It was IPL 2018 that they seperated. Robin Uthappa continued to play for KKR whereas Manish Pandey was bought by SRH.

They represented different teams for the first time since the first edition in 2008.

2008 MI ; 09–10 RCB ; 11–13 PWI ; 14–17 KKR

Well it took 11 seasons for the teams to realize that they could be bought individually!!(lighter side of the fact)

• 11 SEASONS, 0 FINALS

The only team which has never made to an IPL final despite playing all seasons is Delhi Daredevils.

Interestingly they have Qualified thrice.They have been even table-toppers twice. Only to be beaten in the Semi Finals.

Their teams have looked promising to win but they are yet to reach an IPL FINAL

• OUR WAY IS FAIR PLAY

They have played 9 seasons and won the fair play award 6 times!!!!!

No other team has won it more than once.They are also one of the most successful teams.And the only team to reach the playoffs every time they play.

• THE DARKER SIDE

If a player starts from ground cricket and turns up to the grand stage we are inspired by it.We think, that is how life is…

But there have been ups and downs in the IPL

Paul Valthaty

One of the major stars of IPL 2011 went unsold at 2014 IPL Auctions.From there life has been a downward spiral for him.Aged 34 now he plays for Air India and has got a job on sports quota(Play with work as an upcoming cricketer).The quality of cricket is nowhere to be compared.

Kamran Khan

He played for Rajasthan Royals and was hailed by Shane Warne. Last played for Pune Warriors India and now he has been working on a farm.

He was pacy but raw. Could have been a good player if looked after!
