Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar feels, “IPL affords an opportunity to lots of talented players from all over the world - I specially mean the uncapped talented players - to show their skills and come into reckoning for their national teams.”

Zimbabwean cricketer turned commentator Pumelelo Mbangwa says “IPL provides an opportunity mainly to youngsters who perhaps otherwise wouldn’t get noticed in a country as vast as India. There are some talented youngsters no doubt who have come to the fore [through the competition] and that’s the good thing about IPL.”

New Zealand cricketer turned feisty commentator Danny Morrison says “It means a lot of opportunities for young Indians and opportunity for talented international stars to show their wares. This trophy is more traditional [than the previous one].”

He is currently aged 48, and he is aiming a comeback at the first class form of Cricket to complete 20000 runs. He says he is inspired by Sourav Ganguly and Shane Warne to do it. He is one of the finest test batsmen and Inzam-ul-Haq considers him to be one of the three best batsmen he has seen along with Ricky Ponting and Vivian Richards. He made a bold move and introduced an unconventional trick in Cricket, when he used a spinner to open the innings, which was considered out of the box at that time. He has also introduced a new form cricket in his motherland called "Cricket Max" in which the batsmen can double the runs and the bowler aims at four stumps instead of three.

X is considered to be one of the most popular icons in the field of advertising. In 2005, when ICICI Prudential came up with X, the icon for its insurance services, it enjoyed a brand recall of 92 per cent next to LIC’s 97 per cent, according to AC Nielsen survey.
X, a hapless middle-aged man, worried about where to invest his monies, was initially meant to be just a radio spot. Over time, however, X got famous and then it was used in the TV commercials as well.
What boosted the brand recall was X that broke away from the clutter at a time when there were far too many insurance companies wooing potential customers.

Bruce's Code is a set of rules for the management and administration of X including the servants, enacted by East India Company in 1821 A.D. These were the well-defined rules formulated as a code having 42 provisions to ease the administration of X on the basis of customs and previous usages without interfering in the day-to-day affairs. The objective of the Britishers in taking over X was to generate fixed revenue to the circar(government) by organising the income of X to prevent misappropriation and mismanagement of funds through systematic administration. In 1803, the then collector of Chittor, had sent a report to the board of revenues showing the full account of the institution, together with schedules, expenses, and extent of lands etc., known as "Statton's Report" on the X. These reports though small are in the same lines as the earliest report submitted to the british government on Puri by "Grome" and "Garrett". British rulers used "Statton's Report" to control and manage the institution till a set of rules for the management of X and the servants, were framed in 1821 A.D known as "Bruce's Code". Bruce, the then Commissioner of the district formulated a Code containing 42 provisions, known as "Bruce's code" for the guidance of the X administration.

X was an American Indian leader who lived during 1829 to 1909. He was one of those tribal lords who refused to agree with the US occupation of the wild American West. His name literally means "the one who yawns". The Mexican troops named him X because his consistent attacks with a knife through a trail of bullets making the soldiers utter prayers to saint Jerome. He is considered to be the "worst Indian who ever lived". A famous legend states that during one of his escapes from the American Army, he entered a cave and the US Soldiers surrounded the entrance, but still he managed to escape through another entrance which is still be found. This cave is named the X cave. There is also an Apache open source application server named after X.
