It is great news for BCCI and the IPL. The Indian cricket team now has 2 extra days to promote IPL after India ended the second test match in record time. Who cares if India won or lost. After all, the multi million dollar IPL league is about to start and every one, BCCI, the IPL and the Indian cricketers need to prepare for the mega tournament.
BCCI bent its own rules when it allowed the Indian cricketers promote the IPL. The IPL is not international cricket and according to BCCI ( officially ), international cricket comes first. But still our cricketers ( ICON PLAYERS ) were busy launching apparels, slogans, brand ambassadors for their local teams.
South African players are also playing the IPL but they were busy practicing. And maybe this is why after being under pressure from the Indians in the first test match, the South African came back and crashed the Indians in all departments of the game and ended the match imposing a humiliating innings and 90 runs on India ’s home ground.
Korbo Lorbo and Morbo, well that seems to be one IPL teams slogan but the Indian cricketers are doing the first two for IPL promotions, (performing and fighting) and leaving the third for international cricket ( dying ). We doubt BCCI and the IPL cares, as long as IPL is on track and the test match performance does not affect IPL ticket sales.
