Aftermath: When IPL is 'Nationalized' ...

Its quite funny that I couldn't put my hands off the IPL sleaze. Like everyone else on the earth, I also got hooked to write something about the IPL (it's called by so many names these days - Indian Political League, India Panga League etc). Its amazing how the politicians have all the time in the world to debate on this not so important for the nation topic than debating about terrorism, poverty etc.
Well, I was watching the TV news channels (for fun only), I saw a politician saying, "यह IPL को  'Nationalize' कर देना चाहिए. Government को इसका control ले लेना चाहिए!" I got what I wanted after seeing this - my share of happiness and fun -:)


After that though provoking 'thought', the various memes running around my brain got activated and sort of a lift to write the 'Aftermath' of this 'IPL Nationalization'! So here are some of the things that would happen after we see the IPL being 'Nationalized'. All the characters mentioned here are real but the thoughts have been fabricated by 'Dholibaba' -;)
So here is my list of things. The IPL Nationalization 'Aftermath' -
