IPL Mumbai franchise owner Reliance has said that with the right marketing large crowds will fill the stands in the IPL tournament. All said and done the IPL is a domestic tournament with 8 cities in India participating. So, when the long established Duleep and Ranji trophies hardly get a few hundred specators will more come for IPL?
The Reliance Retail Chief R. Balanchandran, said with all due respect when was the last time any thing done to promote these domestic tournaments. Not one bit. So, how can you expect crowds. But the IPL will be a compressed calendar cricket tournament featuring top talent from every part of the world and you can expect a whirlwind of promotion from all stake holders and the crowds will pack the stands particularly after the recent success of the Indian team in major tournaments - tri-series in Australia and under-19 world cup.
