There is more money thrown around than anyone ever thought possible through betting and branding and buying players from all over the world.
Who needs match fixing these days?
Cricket is religion in India, and with the IPL being hosted in SA two years ago - I got a bit of an education regarding how it all works.
I am faithfully supporting my team - and winners of last years IPL: Super Kings.
Too legit to quit indeed.It's a crazy schedule of non-stop cricket, that you just can't keep up with no matter how hard you try!
The first exciting part of the whole tournament is how much these teams, owned by very rich companies and celebrities, are willing to fork out in what seems to be nothing less than public human trafficking. But India give us our players back, which then makes it legal.
Here is the list of who was bought for what amount...and take note - these values are in US Dollars!!!
