5 Reasons why IPL will not be the same without CSK and RR

5 Reasons why IPL will not be the same without CSK and RR: Yesterday marked as a thunderous day in deciding the future and fate of IPL. Justice Lodha Committee, which was assigned the role to investigate the allegations of spot fixing and betting during IPL matches, has passed its verdict finally and it was sentenced that the IPL teams, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) will not be eligible to play the next 2 IPLs. This is indeed a huge blow for a huge number of fans from both the teams. In fact, the stature of IPL will not remain the same now as these two teams were perhaps the biggest contenders for the league in every season. Things will change and to justify the same, here are the 5 Reasons why IPL will not be the same without CSK and RR: 1. Unpredictability will increase: (Photo Source: BCCI) As a matter of fact, CSK has managed to reach the play offs in all the seasons of IPL. Thus, with the absence of CSK, clearly the contentions for the play off spots will be widely open and unpredictable. Chennai has played the IPL final on as many as 6 occasions. The champions of the first IPL, Rajasthan Royals have been quite much disciplined in the League and have managed to qualify for the play offs in 2 of the last three seasons in IPL. Thus, with the absence of two of the high profile teams, IPL will be widely open and way too unpredictable. 2. Youth force will extinct away: Sanju Samson RR. (Photo Source: BCCI) Rajasthan Royals stood as the benchmark for producing emerging talents throughout the seasons. Starting from Ravindra Jadeja, Yusuf Pathan to Ajinkya Rahane, Sanju Samson, Shane Watson and many more have made into international cricket by their sensational IPL performances for Rajasthan Royals. Also, under the mentorship of Rahul Dravid, RR has been quite much instrumental in producing young and emerging talents who won the games for them on a number of occasions. Also, CSK has produced quite a number of youngsters. Players like Murli Vijay, Ravichandran Ashwin, Mohit Sharma and a number of other players have made into international cricketing sphere by their performances for CSK. 3. Less number of high voltage and thrilling matches: CSK vs RCB. (Photo Source: BCCI) CSK and RR have been among the most competitive sides in the IPL and neither of the team readily accepted defeat. Thus, with the stature of such teams, we did witness a number of high voltage matches with immensely thrilling finishes. Also, these teams were involved in a number of Super Over matches in IPL. In fact, RR was involved in the sole match that went to the super over in the latest edition of IPL. CSK and RR will be missed badly in this context. 4. New winners for the Fairplay award: CSK has won the Fairplay Award for 6 times. (Photo Source: BCCI) Seriously, CSK and RR have been reasonably consistent performers when it comes to the Fairplay award. Out of the 8 seasons of IPL played so far, CSK has won the Fairplay award for as many as 6 times in 2008, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2014 and in 2015. RR managed to win the Fairplay award once in 2012. Thus, we can witness some new franchises for the Fairplay award as it was merely predominated by the likes of CSK and RR, owing to their extremely disciplined and spirited performances on the field. 5. Craze for IPL will diminish to some extent: CSK and RR. (Photo Source: BCCI) As we have seen from the Facebook Fan Map and through many other sources, CSK does possess the strongest support base among all the IPL teams. It is a team which is loved by most. On the other hand, RR has a very few haters owing to their disciplined approach and the mentorship of Rahul Dravid. In this regard, the overwhelming craze for the Indian Premier League will suffer a considerable setback by virtue of its popularity.
