The IPL in the New York Times

The IPL makes it to the New York Times again. One marked difference in the treatment of the IPL as compared to its usual coverage of cricket is that there is very little commentary on any of the supposed exotic qualities of cricket. (It helps, of course, that the NYT article is actually a linked article from GigaOM, an independent tech blog network). The IPL's presence in the NYT and Forbes is also proof that what you need in order to get into the times is a fair degree of Americanization, and that the IPL has in plenty.
