- yes..I want to add another point of ill effect of IPL.. The cricket has become faster in the sense of t20 cricket..This hampers the playing of test cricket as in test one needs patience not any aggressive skill but it is seen in test cricket that some players try to attack the bowlers a lot than ever and thus their batting has been not been up to the mark in test cricket.

- IPL should be banned because...
1) Too much time taken.
2) Too much money spent and other sports are not developed in India.
3) Too many injuries taken place and players have to take early retirement.
4) Corruption. Match and Spot fixing take place and it just gives India a bad name.
5) It is killing test cricket and giving audience a quick entertainment.

- I strongly believe that IPL should not be banned in India. This form of cricketing is entertaining, popular and influential. Since it started in 2008 it has been attracting more number of viewers every year. Cricket being the most watched game in India as well throughout the world, has launched a new platform for cricketers as well the public in the form of IPL. This game series brigs different cricketer from different countries together in one place and instills a spirit of brotherhood and friendship among them. By combining them together for each team, the players learn to get along well with each other and this also helps them to know their team mates’ tricks. Moreover, this series has gained so much popularity in so less time that there should be no reason to ban it. It has proved to be a great source of revenue for the government in the form of tourism and also the BCCI. Although yes many illegal activities have been witnessed associated with IPL which should be looked upon and transparency should be incorporated to make it fair and just.
