Dhooni got so much not for cricket (in IPL) but for...

I was previously (last year) believing that Dhoni got so much because he can hit ball out of the ground But when I came across an article which says:
"Non-cricketing traits valued in million dollars". I read that and searched for more information so I found more about this.

According this article and other articles in TOI and IIMA Alumini's Campus news
"Titled 'Player Pricing and Valuation of Cricketing Attributes: Exploring the IPL Twenty-Twenty Vision', the working paper by Satish Deodhar and Siddhartha Rastogi attempts to discern an IPL player's valuation based on the relationship between the IPL-2008 final bid prices and the player's attributes. Even as the auctioning of incumbent and new players for IPL 2009 is underway till February 2009, the study can help ascertain a new player's worth to the team owners. For instance, the study tries to find out when Andrew Symonds was offered $1.3 million (Rs 6.36 crore), it was because of his ability to draw crowds due to the controversies surrounding him during the auction period."

So from this I got to know that Everything happens or already happened in IPL is for business and for IPL marketing. IPL is giving lots of new ideas and new thoughts to research. One should keep the track of everything , starting from the audience, internet traffic to this type websites and blogs, search of keywords, even of run rate, players run, their averages etc. After that we can compare for two years data and money involved it. How a team is gaining from a player in terms of audience and trp. Is their any trend related to matches between two teams? These can be good topics to discuss in blog also. And from this discussion one can be very famous in this web2.0 world.


I gave my idea to discuss and generate idea. What u say people.
