India capped off a fairytale 13-Test home season with a brilliant 2-1 series win over Australia. The whites now will be under lock and key for a long time. Up next on the calendar is Season 10 of the Indian Premier League (IPL). While many purists have criticised the cash-rich extravaganza, terming it a money-making stunt for cricketers, former Team India director Ravi Shastri emphasised that the focus should be on the quality of cricket and the glitzy tournament should be firmly part of Indian cricket's domestic structure.
