There is another website http://www.indianpremierleague.com/ but it doesn't contain much information.



Official Song : "Cricket ka Karmyudh"
The song has been on air for quite a long time now and I have started to love it as its music is somewhat different type



Lyrics goes as

Aankhen uunchi kar dekh sikhar
Hathiyar utha tu dikha hunar

Mutthi mein hai teri hai taqat
Dushman ki ayee hai aafat

Tu laga dao, tu laga pench
Tu dekha jigar,tu dikha tez

Lakhon dhadkan ki jaan hai tu
Lakhon ke dil ki shan hai tu

Tu laga zor, tu macha sor
Ek mahaveer santan hai tu

Na deshyudh, na dharmayudh
Yeh hai dharti par karmayudh

Full Schedule Season-1




This is the new ad air and its worth watching

"kab aayega inka baap"



I agree with what adoholik says , since all the stars are associated with one team or the other the 100 crore earmarked for advertising is being used affectively and creativity is not compromised.

This was all about IPL publicity, sponsors, schedule and website details etc.
Teams coming soon :)
