Deccan Chargers win

Indian Premier league 2nd season ended with an emphatic win by Deccan Chargers crushing Royal Challengers Banglore in finals, IPL has nicely warmed up spectators around the globe, with two weeks of fascinating cricket and media spotlight adding to it were ZooZoo cartoons of Vodafone who were seen encouring players and entertaining jam-packed stadiums with their presence in middle of the crowd.

Web has lapped IPL with both hands in such a way, that it is very hard to find any website which is associated with cricket or India, devoid of headlines about IPL or at least Bollywood stars of IPL. Be it updating latest team news or updating ipl live score , websites have been forerunners and they dictate the fads.

Media has been clearly reaping on IPL harvest this season, where websites like livecricketmatch.com and cricinfo.com have been bombarded with huge traffic and certainly their boses doesn’t have any complaints.

IPL has not only given Indian Media a box full of currency but South Africa as well according to the sources tours and travel companies recoreded huge income by providing best and comfortable travel packages to the “land of wildlife” by including variousadventure treks and trips inside Africa along giving a best taste of fatafat cricket.

It will be a crime to leave away two pillars, which has kicked IPL to a much wider horizons than expected namely Blogging and Social networking site. Mystery Blogger, who has shot to overnight fame through his controversy blog about Kolkata Knight Riders, is a classic example.

So era, where focus might be on traffic of  blogs and websites, which determines the success of crickets matches and IPL  does not seem far away with a kind of platform and potential ‘ Social Media’ offers.
