IBPS CLERKS-X PRELIMS - Model Test 34 Question Paper
Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below. Certain words/phrases have
been printed in bold to help you locate them:
For the third time in six seasons, Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings squared off in the Indian
Premier League's (IPL) main event. MI repeated its 2013 triumph, drawing level with CSK and Kolkata
Knight Riders as owners of two titles in the eight-year-old tournament. MI's success was particularly
remarkable because it recovered from four consecutive losses at the start to win 10 of its next 12 matches.
Neutrals could partake in the franchise's joy too, for this win brought glory to the back-room staff that
included fan-favourites Ricky Ponting, Sachin Tendulkar, Anil Kumble and Jonty Rhodes — legends whose
understanding of the Twenty20 format is informed by their intimate knowledge of Test and one-day cricket.
The presence of such experienced minds in the MI camp helped it override the early crisis. CSK has come
to define the tournament, but has now lost its last three IPL finals. While the retention of a core group of
players has helped the team become a constant presence in the knockouts — CSK has never finished below
the top four — it has failed to guide the franchise past the final hurdle, Nevertheless, the frequent appearance
of CSK and MI in the play-offs suggests a correlation between consistency of personnel and the chance of
victory. The tournament's success can be attributed to consistency as well — consistency of both the
product and its appeal. Despite criticism, it has engaged, over eight seasons, an audience that has a
plethora of entertainment options. According to viewership figures and advertisement rates for television
coverage, there isn't a bigger box office draw for the cricket fan. Buoyed by the support, the Board of Control
for Cricket in India (BCC!) has mooted plans to organise a shorter IPL to replace the Champions League
720 event later this year. Despite the participation of the best domestic sides from other major cricketing
nations, the latter tournament has failed to excite expert and fan alike. With a revenue model that appears to
work in place, the BCCI has been encouraged to believe that two tournaments involving solely IPL teams
can coexist. That the IPL has contributed to improving the standards of the Twenty20 format, both
domestically and internationally, has come to be recognised; but the fear that it could cannibalise other
forms of cricket has not receded. The tournament's standing continues to be threatened as well. The
scandal involving betting and different forms of fixing besmirched its reputation. Suspicions were again
raised when the Enforcement Directorate conducted raids and arrested bookies across Indian cities. With
India set to host next year’s World 720, it will strengthen its reputation as cricket's pre-eminent power if its
actions protect the IPL from corruption.
