5 lessons that the Indian fans should learn from the Ashes series

Stop sniggering at IPL

It all started during the IPL

Can you believe an IPL being held while India is taking on Pakistan in a Test series?

No, we can’t and if it happened, we would tear BCCI apart, from limb to limb. However, the Aussies don’t have a problem with the Big Bash League being held in between an ongoing Ashes series.

We love blaming the IPL. Anything that goes wrong in Indian cricket is due to the Indian Premier League. But look closely, the IPL has done wonders for Indian and world cricket. For India, it’s been a supply channel of untapped talent and has produced talents like R. Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Rohit Sharma and now, Sanju Samson.

Even the Australians must thank the IPL for their Ashes win. The last IPL resurrected the careers of two of their best performers in the recently concluded Ashes – David Warner and Mitchell Johnson.

Moral of the story - The IPL matters.
