Why IPL 2025 Deserves More Love After India’s ICC Victories?

• By Dr. AK Rana

Remember those voices screaming, “Ban IPL!” just last year?

 Funny how two ICC trophies,

have magically silenced them!

It’s amusing,

 isn’t it?

When a team fails, every step of the process is scrutinized, and

blame rains down,

like a

summer storm.

 But the moment they win?

Everything is suddenly perfect.

I’ve always been a fan of the IPL—cricket’s grandest spectacle, a league like no other.

The frustration people felt after India’s repeated ICC knockout failures wasn’t entirely misplaced.

 After all, watching our star players dominate in the IPL,

but falter under international pressure was infuriating.

But let’s be honest—that’s no reason to hate the cricket festival of India!

IPL is more than just a tournament; it’s a stage where cricket’s greatest legends,

and rising stars collide.

 It’s a learning ground,

a proving ground.

Young talents rub shoulders with international icons, and with every season, new heroes emerge.

BCCI’s increased focus on domestic cricket is also a welcome move—because whether it’s the IPL or Ranji Trophy, these platforms are breeding grounds ,

for the next big thing in Indian cricket.

After Two ICC Trophies, Is It Time for Virat Kohli to Lift the IPL Trophy?

India’s back-to-back ICC triumphs turned a decade-long drought into an unforgettable celebration. The emotions, the moments, the sheer joy—it all felt surreal. And amid the glory, one thing became clear: Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma finally got their hands on ICC silverware.

With retirement looming on the horizon, we don’t know how many more ICC tournaments they’ll be a part of. But if cricket is this unpredictable,

then maybe one more thing,

THAT should change:

“Give this man an IPL trophy!”

You know exactly who I’m talking about—Virat Kohli.

From the very start of his career, he has been the face of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), yet the IPL trophy has remained an elusive dream. Season after season, even with a strong squad,

the title has slipped away.

But maybe, just maybe, 2025 is the year.

RCB kicked off their campaign with a win—just the beginning of a long road ahead. Could this finally be the season when Kohli lifts the IPL trophy?

RCB fans can only hope.

As summer arrives, vacations begin, and the heat rises, so does the excitement of IPL!

The evenings come alive with sixes, Yorkers, last-over thrillers,

and unforgettable moments.

The only thing I didn’t quite like? The Star Sports-Sports18 merger. Now, I have two channels showing the exact same thing!

(HA… HA… HA)

So, as the cricketing carnival kicks off, let’s enjoy the ride! Drop your thoughts in the comments.
