What is special about IPL
The ongoing IPL 2025 season continues to showcase why cricket is more than just a sport — it is a celebration of skill, strategy and entertainment. The balance between experience and young talent in the IPL has made it an ideal platform for budding cricketers to shine on a global stage.
While the league has transformed cricket into a commercially successful venture, it is equally important to ensure that it does not overshadow the charm of traditional formats. The two formats should complement rather than compete with each other.
Further, as the league grows in popularity, steps should be taken to maintain the spirit of the game by promoting fair play and sportsmanship. The focus should also extend beyond entertainment to grassroots development. The IPL is about the stories, the rivalries and the sheer passion that unites fans worldwide. Let us celebrate this cricketing festival while keeping the core values of the sport intact.
