The best players of the world play in the IPL, and to bowl to them in T20 cricket isn't easy.
If you look at cricket per se, if you didn't have T20 cricket, Test cricket will die. People don't realise. You just play Test cricket, and don't play one-day cricket and T20 cricket, and speak to me after 10 years. The economics will just not allow the game to survive.
India may be the soul of world cricket, but IPL is its commercial heart. Just as 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire' changed the ground rules for quiz shows by injecting a massive dose of money into the equation, IPL has changed the dynamics of the cricket economy.

If you are going to raise youngsters for Test cricket that don't have the experience, you can't stick them into T20. You've got to teach them first how to play Test cricket, and when they're good enough for Test cricket and if they want to play both formats, then they can.
Traditional cricket has gone out of the window. It's gone. T20 cricket has changed the game.
If you look at Mohali, Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata, they host T20 games, IPL all in a year. That's the reason the crowd stays away from the Tests matches.
