The Indian Political League = Indian Premier League

This summer has been a harvest for the media in India. Cricket and Politics dominated the front pages.
Political League seems to be riding on a high tide with the UPA Daredevils and NDA Super Kings fighting it out despite the Royal Challenge by Royal Third Front Challengers. In this year’s political league, a phenomenal change is that, players are exchanged or bought by other franchisees. A inform player this year, Jayalalithaa from Tamil Nadu is bought by Royal Third Front Challengers. UPA Dare Devils’ key players like Sharad Pawar is in the verge of getting sold to Royal Challengers. However Pawar seems to be comfortable with the current team. The team’s captain, Sonia Gnadhi is expecting to come back to power by winning the series. NDA Super Kings boasts of a good captain, L K Advani who is in form playing well in Gujarat( with a good partnership with Narendra Modi who made a century) and Madhya Pradesh. He is also supposed to of good physical fitness. But NDA Super Kings has sold off its Orissa spin bowler Naveen Patnaik. Naveen Patnaik was bought by Royal Challengers later for a fair amount of money in the form of a CPIM seat. Royal Challengers adopts multiple captaincy formula, which its coach Prakash Karat suggested. However another player in the team, Mayawati did not like the option at first but adopted it later.
The controversial moment in the IPL (Indian Political League) was when the captains of Super Kings LK Advani slapped Daredevils batsman Manmohan Singh to show he was strong enough to lead a team. Manmohan who broke into tears in front of camera, hit him with some stuff which led to the interference of match referee named Media.

The game of this election Twenty20 is rocking the floor all around India. The game has got more sponsors than the last Indian Political League which was held in 2004. This year’s IPL is also showcasing the emergence of young cricketers like Rahul Gandhi and Varun Gandhi, but anyway, the IPL remain as a game for the seniors like Advani and Sonia Gandhi who are also hitting sixes and cracking the fire.
