Now this unreal world is trying to clothe a real one and I’m not sure if it will fit. If Shahrukh Khan or Preity Zinta buy a franchise that is fine, that is still part of the real world, but if we fool around with the playing of the game, or indeed its
propagation to the people, we will do it a huge disservice. The future of T-20 and the IPL lies not in being presented as Nach Baliye but as a contest of extraordinary skills. And believe me there are many.
T-20 is a variation of cricket, not a dilution of cricket.
It might require different skills but it requires substantial skills.
It will be disappointing if actors who speak other people’s lines try to usurp the game from those that don’t need any.
