Pepsi Indian Premier League - Season 6

[ajaybaskar]

CSK won all their home games in 2011 when all the SL players played here in Chennai. Similarly MI this season won against CSK without the services of Malinga. So the contribution of SL players for win/loss is negligible to say the least. There are no impact players like a Gayle or Warner from SL this moment. Mahela may be an exception but not in the same ranks of the players mentioned above.

And the ban on SL players is only for their own good. Especially when the impact of hunger strike of students among general public was huge. And the franchise owner will not risk the team's image to take a hit by playing SL players, whether at home or away.
