Pros and Cons of the Indian Premier League

PRO and CON – Multicultural dressing room

Players like Mustafizur Rahman are learning a lot from their senior team-mates

This was supposed to be a pro, and it is—but not completely. Sharing the dressing room with foreigners gives one a deeper understanding of the game from several perspectives. The opportunity to learn tricks from other nationality players wasn’t possible before like it is now.

This helps players improve on all fronts. For example, young foreign players like Jos Buttler and Mustafizur Rahman are learning a lot from their senior team-mates—something that will help them a lot with their respective careers.

However, the main disadvantage is that as you take, you also give. There are some things that shouldn’t be shared, but this kind of environment doesn’t allow one to keep it that way.

Tomorrow, when everyone gets back to their respective national teams and play on an international front, the IPL teammates-turned-international-rivals will share that crucial information with their international team-mates, taking away the X-factor from the game altogether.
