The World Cup may be over, but the hangover is still there. In every single discussion about the IPL, the World Cup is coming back like a refrain.
When one is initiating a conversation about the IPL opener between Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders on Friday, the first thing that is being spoken about is how Gautam Gambhir and MS Dhoni will become rivals in a matter of 96 hours.
Gambhir and Dhoni won India the World Cup last Saturday and as CSK coach Stephen Fleming puts it, "they will become friends for life after that". But then, that's the challenge of professional cricket these days. There's absolutely no time to ponder over the happy moments and savour a World Cup win, it's all about donning a new jersey and taking the field all over again for a new team.
