IPL is history in the making

Adam Gilchrist said that the Indian Premier League was not meant to just create money.“If all the development programmes are put in place, it could usher in a new chapter. I sincerely believe that the IPL is history in the making,” Gilchrist said during a media interaction on his arrival in the city to play for the Deccan Chargers in the IPL.

About his IPL goals, the former Aussie stumper said that the objective of everyone would be to win the title. “I look at the IPL this way: take the first two matches and then think of the semifinal and later the final,” he said.

About captaincy, Gilchrist said he never aspired for the post. “I never felt that I must be the captain. I think Ricky did a fantastic job as captain. Well, VVS (Laxman) is the natural choice for our IPL team,” he said.
