HISTORY OF IPL-SEASON 1

As era proceeds people start moving towards shortcuts and easy going life which does not take much time the same rule was followed in cricket as time proceeded test matches where converted to one day and then one day matches to 20-20.
Well this drastic change was very necessary as nobody gets so much time to sit the whole day and watch a match 20-20 given you the same excitement and fun in a compact form in which you don’t get bored. That is exactly what IPL has done from the last few years the mixture of bollywood and cricket has spiced up the entertainment factor and brings new excitement to people every year.


IPL was launched in the year 2008 and it was in this year when the first IPL match was played. It was Mr. Lalit Modi behind the whole effort which made IPL take the biggest mass entertainment program of the country. The formation of team and the matches involvement of bollywood made the viewers stick to the league for the whole season with no match going as *NO HOUSEFULL*. It had become the biggest business of the country which had effects on both side of the shore.


1st IPL season 2008 :-

The most consistent team was Chennai super Kings under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. It was a very consistent team and played really well but still couldn’t win the trophy as they were defeated by the Rajasthan Royals also known as the orthodox. Rajasthan Royal didn’t had many famous players still they won the trophy and marked the level for the IPL. Other teams like Kolkata knight Rider’s did really well which had many famous players and well experienced too. Opening batman Brendon McCullum hits first 100 of Indian Premiere League and took his team to the winning side on the day.
