And for a Friday as …… IPL 2026 comes to its finale ……some thoughts …. some musings ……
No doubt Cricket in general & IPL in particular has its haters & lovers …… the haters consider the sport & all eco system surrounding it a total waste of national resources …. waste of time …. & deprivation of all other sporting activities …..: the later group of Lovers …. which includes me …. Love the excitement……the free entertainment .. the gripping last overs … & in a 20 over format … just one over of a bowler or the form of the day of one batsman can change the game …… its excitement entertainment & time-pass …. If watching on TV from home or my Club … absolutely free entertainment ….. what a Mumbaikar will call …”Paisavasool”…… why go for lengthy debates with the cricket haters ….. let them sulk in their misery …… it’s time for crucial matches …. The Eliminator-2 today & the final on Sunday …….. Yaaa-Hoooo !!!!!
IPL 2026 will forever be remembered for Child Prodigy ….. Cricketing sensation ….. a 15 year old … innocent baby faced … bright …wide eyed ….. tall & most loving …… young cricketer by the name of Sooryavanshi …… the name indicates dynasty descendant from the Sun God Surya which includes Lord Rama……. no doubt this Rajasthan Royals opener has something supernatural ……he smashed all records this IPL ….. wearing THE Orange Cap …. He personifies what miracles are made of …… this child sensation has beaten “All time Great” Chris Gayle’s record of most number of sixes held from 2012 ……..I join the millions of young boys & Girls who are all praying that Vaibhav Sooryavanshi continue to smash records & come to the final ….. so we all can enjoy that one last innings of IPL 2026 on Sunday ….
Cricket is India’s religion …. the most important unifying force across all states … all religions … all languages .. all castes …. all Economic strata … let’s all support the Spirit…… the involved way ….. the enjoyable way ….. the SEEGOS way.
