Cricket sporting goods prices gonna go up with IPL tournament

Man the rivalry between ICL and IPL has changed the landscape of sports inIndia, in particularly, where no one took sports seriously. And all I cansay is that everyone related with sports whether it's the sporting goodsindustry, sports tickets brokers, companies managing players all are goingto benefit from this rivalry between the two factions.I am sure all the sports fans have been glued to their TV sets yesterdaywatching star cricket players being bought for astronomical amounts bydifferent franchisees. The highest bid was put on the Indian skipper Mahender Singh Dhoni with $1.5 million. He was bought by the Chennai team.Now just try to conjure up the month of this April when eight teams willfight it out for 44 days with more prize money on offer than what Indiahad collected few months back when it won the inaugural Twenty20 WorldCup.I am sure few months before that there will mad rush for sporting goods because the important exams of 10 and 12 classes will be over by then anall the kids will be simply bowl over by the craze of Twenty20 cricket.

And this craze will drive all the sports lovers to buy sporting goods likecricket bats, cricket balls, etc. Thus whole of the sporting goodsindustry will be having a dream run during those days like the shopkeepershave during the time of Diwali.
