Foreword It was 2003 for the first time I came across this tall erudite quiz maniac individual during his brainchild Quiz Maniacs Society's annual quiz programme. The first thing that struck to me was how well researched and audience friendly questions he prepared. Since then I was part of many such quizzes and I must say I was never disappointed. The biggest asset he has is the charm and aura he creates while conducting quizzes. He has done a lot in the last 3 decades in popularizing quizzing amongst young sharp minds as well as mentoring them and that must be his greatest legacy. So, when he told me he is going write a quiz book on IPL cricket I was absolutely certain that all inquisitive minds young and old with a thrust for trivia and unknown facts will love this book. I wish Partha Da all the very best for this publication as well as future such endeavours. I wish him all the success in both professional and personal front. Now go and immerse yourself in this vast ocean of knowledge this book possesses.

Preface Neville Cardus and his classic cricket followers may not digest the chock-a-block commercialization of their beloved gentleman's game but the Kerry Packer's newest avatar Lalit Modi surely hit the bull's eye to garner astronomical moolah, thanks to Indian Premier League. IPL changed the way cricket is played in India and has brought in huge scope for the entertainment industry as well. T20 cricket became phenomenally popular after India won the T20World Cup in 2007 and the IPL has since then cashed on the craze. Critics may say this cricketing show is an Indianised version of NBA or MLS but they can't deny its magnitude and the showstoppers involved in it. The strategic format of this cricketainment package is a purely business one-the evening show timing, youthfulness, glamour, spirit, the oomph-factor of cheerleaders, theme music and most of all the sky-rocketing riches. 21st century's smartphone savvy Gen-X is more interested in prompt action and result without bothering about the grammar! So, we can't ignore the popularity of this event. Now we can say cricket is strongly going to be the contender of an Olympic sport in near future.
