The ‘Dirty’ Side Of T20 Tournament's Late-Night Parties That Awoke Several Controversies Over The Years

The Twenty20 tournament has completed 9 glorious years. Marking a decade of adrenaline-filled games, and the 10th edition has commenced on the 5th of April.

 

Apart from the reformed T20 matches that were introduced in the tournament, the league also witnessed the combination of glamour and sports for the very first time. Right from well-known personalities and Bollywood celebrities owning various teams, to the introduction of cheerleaders; the event became a trend-setter in the world of cricket.

 

But with the rising scandals, controversies and match-fixing, the league made several changes under operation ‘Clean-Up’. The late-night parties that were a part of every post-match until the year 2013, were banned forever.

 

The parties that witnessed the presence of several cheerleaders and celebrities from the glamour industry could no longer be a part of the series glamorous nights. As of now, post-match parties will just include get-togethers, with an entry allowed to just cricketers and team management.
