Indian Premier League (IPL) ---2024.pptxrathinikunj60
The Indian Premier League (IPL) is one of the most prominent and lucrative Twenty20 (T20) cricket leagues in the world. Since its inception in 2008, the IPL has revolutionized the landscape of cricket by blending sports, entertainment, and commerce. This summary provides an overview of the IPL's history, structure, notable performances, controversies, and its impact on cricket and beyond.
History and Formation
The IPL was launched by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in 2008, inspired by the success of domestic T20 leagues like the English T20 Cup and the now-defunct Indian Cricket League (ICL). Lalit Modi, the then Vice-President of BCCI, played a crucial role in conceptualizing and launching the league. The inaugural season kicked off in April 2008 with eight franchises representing different cities in India.
Structure and Format
The IPL follows a franchise-based model, where teams are owned by a mix of corporations, Bollywood stars, and other high-profile individuals. The league originally started with eight teams, although the number has fluctuated over the years due to various reasons including expansions and terminations. As of the latest seasons, the IPL features ten teams.
The tournament format includes a double round-robin stage, where each team plays the others twice, followed by playoffs. The top four teams from the round-robin stage qualify for the playoffs, which consist of two qualifiers, an eliminator, and the final. This format ensures a highly competitive and engaging tournament, culminating in a grand finale to crown the champion.
Teams and Their Evolution
The founding teams of the IPL were:
Chennai Super Kings (CSK)
Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals)
Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings)
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)
Mumbai Indians (MI)
Rajasthan Royals (RR)
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)
Deccan Chargers (now defunct, replaced by Sunrisers Hyderabad)
Over the years, the league has seen new teams such as Pune Warriors India, Kochi Tuskers Kerala, Gujarat Lions, and Rising Pune Supergiant. The most recent additions are the Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants, introduced in the 2022 season.
Iconic Players and Performances
The IPL has attracted the best talent from around the world, with numerous iconic players making significant contributions. Some of the standout performers include:
Sachin Tendulkar (MI): The "Little Master" brought his legendary status to the IPL, winning the Orange Cap (top run-scorer) in 2010.
Chris Gayle (RCB, KXIP): Known for his explosive batting, Gayle holds the record for the highest individual score in an IPL match (175*).
MS Dhoni (CSK): Dhoni's leadership has been instrumental in CSK's success, leading them to multiple titles.
AB de Villiers (RCB): Renowned for his innovative stroke play, de Villiers has been a consistent match-winner.
Virat Kohli (RCB): The highest run-scorer in IPL history, Kohli's batting prowess is unmatched.

The Golden Group is over. Can a new group step up? Two years ago, Kevin De Bruyne plunged Belgium’s Euro 2024 plans into disorder when he claimed the team was “too old” to win in an interview with The Protector. That Belgian squad had 10 players over 30 and the maximum average age of any Euro Cup 2024 team at the competition. A group-stage exit and just one goal at the World Cup put Belgium on course for a restructure.

Coach Domenico Tedesco has managed a tactical shakeup and a regular exit for some of the oldest players. Experienced bests remain, not least the 37-year-old Jan Vertonghen in defense, the 32-year-old De Bruyne himself in midfield, and 31-year-old Romelu Lukaku up visible.
Still, younger actors like De Bruyne’s Manchester City partner Jeremy Doku bring fresh vitality to the team. Euro Cup Germany Qualifying unbeaten with just four goals allowed from eight games was a welcome sign of accomplishment back on track under Tedesco.
The only other squad in Group E besides Belgium to UEFA Euro 2024 qualify unbeaten, Romania was awestruck by winning a group that also checked Switzerland and Israel. Still, Euro 2024 will test a squad sorely lacking in top-level skill.

Christina Christensen is a good friend of mine who is a
recently qualified Open Water Scuba Instructor. Whilst
discussing our diving experiences by email, she got on
the subject of irresponsible divers.
This is what she said:
acting like the underwater environment is their own personal playground” she started out.
“From my experience with customers I´ve come across too many examples of people
“I really wish some of the divers I met would have more awareness of the impact they have (http://www.dive.in/articles/sustainable-diving/) . It is part of my job as an
instructor to teach awareness from the moment we enter open water.
Greg Amptman
In my experience, even when stressed in a teaching environment, some people just don´t seem to care. I´m not always in a teaching position either
(http://www.dive.in/articles/living-the-divemaster-life/) , part of the job is also to take certified and experienced (by number of dives) divers out on guided trips.
I found a dilemma between being a positive guide, working as a representative for a dive shop (http://www.dive.in/guide/living-the-dream-behind-the-diving-industry/) , and looking
after their business. You´d really want the customers to have a happy experience and come back, right, and at the same time express clear leadership on what is acceptable or not
while diving.
This is a bit hard sometimes, especially when guiding people with far more dives, experience, expensive equipment and educational level”
Raise the Awareness
I can absolutely see what she is talking about. I have also been in a position where I’ve felt that I should be promoting and encouraging proper diving practices
(http://www.dive.in/articles/how-to-become-an-environmentally-safe-diver/) , but I didn’t wish to get in trouble for upsetting a customer. Especially when they should know these
things better than me.
What can you do in these circumstances?
Christina continues:
“I’m going to give you a horror example and I´d really like to find some scientifically grounded reasons for why it is important to stick to the recommendations of interaction as
stated by the educational system of diving (http://www.dive.in/scuba-diving/) !
Maybe it can help to raise their awareness?”
Harm to Animals for a Picture
There were pictures attached to the email which made me upset. They were of divers who were causing harm to animals and the
environment, clearly just to get neat photo opportunities. This was the story which accompanied them:
“During my Instructor Development Course (http://www.dive.in/guide/how-to-become-a-padi-dive-instructor/) I went on quite a
few dives as a Divemaster. Among the divers I took out were a couple from the USA and a brother who´d come down to
celebrate an anniversary.
My job was to guide them for two days on four dives at different locations; a fun dive package deal.
They were Advanced Open Water divers with 300 dives under their BCD wings. They were equipped with the latest expensive
personal gear (http://www.dive.in/guide/dive-gear-when-to-buy-what/) and each of them had an underwater camera. On the trip
out we got to chat some and I learned they´d been many wonderful places around the world. Diving in multiple locations and I
took an instant like to them.
2. They seemed open, happy and looking for some good dive experiences.”
“On our dives they displayed what was in my opinion a somewhat different attitude. Hitting the bottom with a crash they
continued trawling the seabed touching everything: The turtles, the corals, and the fish (I secretly wished they would touch a
scorpion fish to teach them a lesson).
They even scared a puffer to blow up so they could take pictures. They goofed around with the camera, oblivious to the
environment in order to get the greatest shots. They were an absolute mess.“
“I didn’t tell them off at the time because I was in shock; watching in horror almost to the point of amusement at the textbook
fails on everything they did. They had obviously closed their eyes tight every time the PADI ‘bad diver’ appeared during the
training videos.
I really wasn´t sure in what way I could make myself clear; being a rookie with limited experience in leadership and also being
paid by the dive shop to be a guide, I found it really hard to express my concern. So I did nothing.”
“They’d had a great time. They complimented me on doing a great job and we became friends on Facebook. I have however, been keeping an eye on their dive practice, mostly
through the pictures they’ve posted online. My experience with these people raised a lot of questions in me and afterwards I’ve always felt I hadn’t done my job properly” she
continued.
Touch the Fish Pictures
Rostislav Ageev
Today I just saw they posted another album of ‘touch the fish’ pictures. I felt my heart sink. I feel like I should question their dive-profile and see if I can help to change their
attitude and their behaviour.”
We were both really upset that these divers got to go to all the best dive sites in the world (http://www.dive.in/articles/top-10-dive-sites-in-the-world/) , swimming with schools of
whale sharks, mantas, dolphins etc… but treating the places as if they were their own, personal playgrounds.
So Christina and I did some internet searching and found a few articles with scientific research about the consequences of bad diving practice for aquatic life. We wanted to make
sure that these divers knew that there we scientifically grounded reasons behind our objections and that this wasn’t just something we had made up.
We also found reports from how the larger dive-community reporting divers with similar pictures on social medias who consequentially have had their dive certifications suspended.
Christina felt reporting a little bit too harsh. She felt by not giving a clear message when she had the chance, she´d been partly responsible for them continuing to dive this way.
I suggested she ´d keep the message simple, but clear. We decided to comment on their album with the PADI tips for divers as follows, which would hopefully help raise awareness.
1. Dive carefully to protect fragile aquatic ecosystems
Many aquatic organisms are delicate and can be harmed by the bump of a camera, the swipe of a fin (http://www.dive.in/guide/finning-techniques/) or even the gentle touch of a
hand. Some aquatic organisms like corals grow very slowly and breaking even a small piece can destroy decades of growth. By being careful you can prevent long term damage to
magnificent dive sites.
2. Be aware of your body and equipment placement when diving
Keep your gauges and alternate air source secured so they don’t drag over the reef or other vital habitat. Control your buoyancy (http://www.dive.in/guide/buoyancy-control/) ,
taking care not to touch fragile organisms with your body or equipment. You can do your part and prevent injury to aquatic life every time you dive.
3. Keep your dive skills sharp through continuing education
Before heading to open water seek bottom time with a certified professional in a pool or other environment that won’t be damaged. You can also refresh your skills and knowledge
with a PADI Scuba Review, PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course or Project AWARE Specialty course such as Peak Performance Buoyancy
(http://www.dive.in/guide/howto-master-your-buoyancy/) .
4. Consider how your interactions affect aquatic life
Avoid touching, handling, feeding or riding on aquatic life. These actions may stress the animal, interrupt feeding and mating behaviour or provoke aggressive behaviour in normally
nonaggressive species.
3. 5. Understand and respect underwater life
Playing with animals or using them as food for other species can leave a trail of destruction, disrupt local ecosystems and rob other divers of their experiences with these creatures.
Consider enrolling in a PADI Underwater Naturalist, AWARE Fish Identification or Coral Reef Conservation Specialty course to better understand sustainable interactions.
6. Be an eco-tourist
Make informed decisions when selecting a destination and choose Project AWARE Environmental Operators or other facilities dedicated to sustainable business practices. Obey all
local laws and regulations and understand your effect on the environment. Don’t collect souvenirs like corals or shells. Instead, take underwater photos and follow Project AWARE’s
10 Tips for Underwater Photographers.
7. Respect underwater cultural heritage
Divers are privileged to access dive sites that are part of our cultural heritage and maritime history. Wrecks can also serve as important habitats for fish and other aquatic life. Help
preserve these sites for future generations by obeying local laws, diving responsibly and treating wrecks with respect.
8. Report environmental disturbances or destruction
As a diver, you’re in a unique position to monitor the health of local waters. If you notice unusual depletion of aquatic life, injury to aquatic animals or strange substances in the
water, report these observations to responsible authorities in your area.
9. Be a role model for other divers and non-divers when interacting with the environment
As a diver, you see the underwater results of carelessness and neglect. Set a good example in your own interactions so that others can learn from you.
10. Get involved in local environmental activities and issues
You can greatly affect your corner of the planet. There are plenty of opportunities to support healthy aquatic environments including Project AWARE
(http://www.projectaware.org/) conservation and data collection activities like local beach and underwater clean-ups and Coral Watch monitoring
(http://www.dive.in/articles/become-a-scuba-hero/) , supporting environmental legislative issues, attending public hearings on local water resources, conserving water or making
responsible seafood choices
Reporting Can be a Difficult Task
The pictures got removed off the internet after an additional private message to the divers, amicably reminding them about the #1. Christina received the following reply:
Rich Carey
“Hi Christina, I truly thank you for the message. That was a wonderful way of expressing your concern and you may consider it well received. I did remove the pictures, but left
your PADI statement up there. I hope this will be a good reminder to myself and others. With care, G.”
It can be tricky to balance being polite, friendly and making sure those diving with us are enjoying themselves with maintaining good standards, safety and protection of the
environment. As responsible divers it is our duty when we see divers like this we should send a clear message that this behavior is not OK and help them to be more aware of the
impact they are having on our marine life.
And here ending the lesson
If you have been caught in a dilemma like this I would like to hear about it. This is, unfortunately, a situation that will continue to come up. And we can all support each other
through discussing how to appropriately deal with these behaviours when they occur.
I look forward to reading your comments.

Indah Susanti (http: //i ndahs.zenfol i o.com/) wrote on December 12:
Unfortunately, not all dive guides/masters/instructors as concern on marine life as much as you and Christina do. And the dilemma is not only
experienced by the dive center personnel but also to us, the customers. As a regular customer to diving industry and ocean lover, I had several
experiences with ignorant dive centers. First, I was diving with an expatriate dive guide/master who wore gloves all the time. Then I found out,
he likes to touch nudibranches to show them to his guests. I was annoyed at him but he was the only dive master/guide in the only resort in the island,
so we were sort of stucked with him. Second experience was, we saw two scubadivers in our group dove carelessly. Their fins touched corals, sands,
pushing other scubadivers who took photos and their regulators were floating around - touching corals here and there! My partner reported it in friendly
way to the administrator of the dive center and requested her to inform the dive master/guide to brief the scubadivers to be more careful with corals etc.
On the next day, the staff of the dive center turned to be unfriendly to us. The divemaster/guide still did not brief us to care on corals and our fins
movement or consider to other scubadivers in the group (and, yey, he did not talk to us at all until the end of our holiday).
