An Indian event in South Africa

Cricket,the sport we indians love than our national game.It was once a time consuming game and now it has catched more hearts when its duration is shortened and named "Twenty-20".A few years before when we talk about cricket the first thing that come to our mind was the names of countries like India,Pakistan,Australia and now the names of major indian cities has replaced it.
IPL,I doubt whether its "Indian premiere league or International premiere league". if its an Indian event,it has to be conducted here. Anyway IPL,the event that gave a new face to cricket has crossed geographical boundaries.With the shifting of IPL venue to South Africa ,the players would have definitely missed the noise of indian crowds and we too missed the dazzling steps of cheer girls.
IPL is a combination of business and sport. The media itself has become a real business now so we can't blame much on IPL. Denying the suggestion of shri.P.Chidambaram to postpone the event Lalit modi ,commisioner of IPL and concerned authorities decided to shift the venue.some states like Gujarat were willing to take responsibility but i don't know why they were in a hurry to do so? why could'nt they re-schedule the event?
With this decision we ourselves had created an image that our country is not a safe destination for such colourful events and this created wrong impression to the world before 2010 common wealth games.
