Five Innovations which IPL must implement, to enhance the experience of the viewers: Indian Premier League (IPL) took the world with storm when it commenced in 2008 and since then this glamorous form of cricket has been entertaining the aficionado’s of the gentlemen’s game every year in the month of April and May. Seeing its exceptional popularity Australia launched its corporate owned T-20 league in the form of Big Bash. But the Big Bash League (BBL) hasn’t matched the success of IPL while it comes up with the astute innovation every year which intrigues one and all whereas the governing body of the IPL hardly experiments anything, simply following the conventional method in this entertaining form of cricket could result in serious ramifications, here are the five innovations which IPL must inherit from other leagues and other forms of cricket to perk up. 1. Zing Bails: These LED bails were the striking element of the recently concluded World Cup 2015.(©Getty Images) These LED bails were the striking element of the recently concluded World Cup 2015. It was introduced in the BBL first, and it became a massive success and further captivated the attention of ICC and they introduced it in World Cup. The cost of a set of LED bails is approximately 25 Lakhs, but the costs involved have never been an issue for the cash rich IPL. 2. Two Bouncers: That fiery spell of Wahab Riaz to Shane Watson in the Quarterfinal of the World Cup grabbed the attention of the whole cricketing fraternity.( ©Getty Images) That fiery spell of Wahab Riaz to Shane Watson in the Quarterfinal of the World Cup grabbed the attention of the whole cricketing fraternity, not only this, the Indian bowlers as well used the short ball as a potent weapon in the World Cup 2015. But the aggressive short pitch bowling of that caliber won’t be seen consistently in IPL as rules allow only 1 bouncer in an over in the IPL match. 3. Catch A Million: This ‘Catch a Million’ campaign in the New Zealand leg of the World Cup kept every spectator at their toes while watching the match at the stadium.(©Getty Images) This ‘Catch a Million’ campaign in the New Zealand leg of the World Cup kept every spectator at their toes while watching the match at the stadium. IPL should introduce it to increase the excitement and the zest among the fans which watch the match from the stadium. Something similar can also help them support a few Philanthropic causes as well and donate some useful money for charity. 4. On field commentators: In the Australia Vs England T-20 International match in 2007 Adam Gilchrist was wearing a mike up while batting.(©Getty Images) In the Australia Vs England T-20 International match in 2007 Adam Gilchrist was wearing a mike up while batting, he promised to deposit the next ball over the mid-wicket boundary prior to the bowler delivering the ball and he did exactly that. Imagine how terrific it will be for Indian fans if MS Dhoni is mike up and he replicates Gilchrist in IPL. Players sharing insight from the ground will make the viewing experience even more fun. 5. Set-up Fan park: In World Cup 2015 also in New Zealand Fan Zones were made to watch matches.(©Getty Images) In the Football World Cup last year as many as 5 million people watched it at a fan park on a big screen with friends and family. The IPL authorities were pondering over implementing it this year but could not do so. Establishing Fan Park can well be an exciting experience for every fan of the game. Where a stadium like atmosphere can be created at smaller centers of the game and thus spread it to unreached corners.
