14th edition of Indian Premier League (IPL) has already been started on 09.04.2021. The Inaugural match was played by the defending champions Mumbai Indians and the Royal Challengers Bangalore at a MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai and the Royal Challengers Bangalore won this match. Mumbai Indians once again proved that they cannot win the initial match against their opponents.

As usual Chennai Super Kings team is still one of the most consistent teams in this tournament. But in the beginning we can’t predict which team is going to perform better and better day by day.
Normally Mumbai Indians players are not performing well in the beginning. But gradually their performance is getting better and they are rigorously trying to become champion of IPL.

IPL followed by ISL has now ceased to be just the activities intended to promote sports in India. It is also playing a substantial part in moving the economy as a whole for better. I think the govt has not yet fully realised the potential that the sports in India could play in improving the standard of living of the people banking on the strength of India’s high population. If just two games,cricket and football, involving only a tiny percentage of population in India can make wonders that has now become a reality right in front of us,what will be if we can actively involve a substantial percentage of population in sports like most of western countries do?
