Especially for me as me nd my friends are mad about cricket as most of INDIANS are.

       But things have changed now.The recent terrorist attcks on the Sri-Lankan cricket team has made the picture blurr.It was a first of its kind attack on an cricket team.The Indian Sub continent is continuously hit by terrorist attcks,the MUMBAI attacks being the very recent.But whatever may be the case,it was always an feeling that cricketers are safe.No terrorist group would attck an cricket team in the sub-continent just because of its huge popularity.Cricketer's are GOD in our part of the world and attack on someone's GOD would bring in strong reaction.As Imran Khan had said no one would attack cricketers in Pakistan as they would loose the support of the local people.But now things have changed for the worse.

                                In such a scenairo a high profile event like The DLF Indian Premeire League would be a soft target as far as the terrorists are concerned.Just because the high scale nature of the IPL,security would be the top-most priority.Last year Jaipur blasts happened while the IPL was on,but that did not affect the teams and IPL went ahead.But now every one would be worried as anything can happen.

                                 The elections for the 15th LOK SABHA are starting from 16th of April 6 days after the start of the DLF IPL.These are LOK SABHA elections,so India's top para-military forces will be engaged in looking after conducting the election's.Elections last till the 16th of March which means right through the IPL.

                                  So recently our Home Minister P.Chidambaram said that he would ask the IPL organisers to postpone the tournament after the LS elections.That would mean starting the IPL after 16th March and going on for around one and a half month.But with the world T20 cup starting from 5th June in England,postponing the IPL would be impossible.

                                   That will have the organisers of the famous league in a soup.Cancelling the event would mean incurring mind-boggling money so that would obviously be the last option for the organisers.Whatever be the decision I being a die-hard cricket fan hope that the IPL goes through well but the security of the players must be a top priority.
