IPL or WT20 post Covid?
Everyone amongst us have been waiting dearly for cricket to restart. Covid-19 has put an indefinite halt on all cricketing action for almost 3 months now. Although we have some hope in the coming days, with the England vs West Indies test series scheduled, no one is really sure how things are going to pan out once the game does resume. It has been four years since the last T20 world cup was held in 2016 and by the looks of it, the wait might be more. Even when cricket does resume to a more normal level, it is unlikely that the scheduled T20 world cup will go as per plans, even though the first match is scheduled in October, which is still a long way from today, and also it is supposed to happen in Australia, a country which isn't severely hit from Covid and has almost fully recovered. Having said that, there will be some pressure on BCCI to host the IPL as well. This year's IPL was indefinitely postponed in April because of the Covid situation in India, one of the worst hit countries by the pandemic. So, there were rumours that if it does boil down to a situation where a choice has to be made between IPL and WT20, IPL might just get the nod, mostly because of financial reasons. Needless to mention, IPL can be held in some other country, given the current situation in India, and many countries have put their hand up as volunteers. It is no secret that IPL generates massive amount of revenue, and players all over the world earn much more through IPL than they earn while playing for their country. With that being said, my personal opinion, as a cricket fan from India, is that WT30 should be given more preference, as we fans don't care much about the financial factors and the wait for T20 world cup has been ridiculously long already ! What do you thing should happen this year? IPL or WT20? Have your say !

Ex-cricketers predictions for this season IPL.
The most cash rich T 20 cricket league in the world, the IPL, is just a few days away from kick-off. Cricket fans from all over the world are eagerly awaiting the start of the tournament. The league generates a worldwide interest because players from every cricket playing country participate in the league. Many newspapers, sports magazines and television channels are busy discussing and opining on the possible champions this season. Source Among those who aired their opinions lately is Gautam Gambhir, the Indian ex-cricketer who has lately resigned from all forms of cricket. Gambhir has played in the IPL and has been part of teams who have lifted the IPL trophy twice in the past eleven years. In his prediction, he has chosen to neglect the reigning champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bangalore. He is of the opinion that Mumbai Indians, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Kings XI Punjab and Kolkota Knight Riders (KKR) will make it to the playoffs. Source Mathew Hayden, the ex-Australian prolific opening batsman has aired his views also. He thinks that Mumbai Indians along with Chennai Super Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad will go through to the playoffs. Another Australian veteran, Mitchell Johnson is of the opinion that Royal Challengers Bangalore will definitely make to the playoff. The other teams who he thinks will make it to the finals are Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals. That Gautam Gambhir has chosen to leave out Chennai Super Kings from the final four comes as a surprise. Source However, this kind of airing of views by former cricketers who are veterans brings about a greater involvement of cricket fans and serves to enhance the aura of the tournament. The first match of IPL 2019 will be played between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore on the 23rd of March which is a Saturday. Chennai Super Kings will host the match at the famous MA Chidambaram Stadium. It will be an interesting contest and it will be fun to watch. Let us see who gains the first points in the IPL 2019. I for one am favouring Chennai Super Kings to win the match.
