Superstition in IPL through franchise owners every year although cricket played in just 22 yards. Four pillars of the game are leadership, batting, bowling, and fielding. If your team will lack in any of these departments, you will lose. But sometimes, fans pray to God, for the victory of their favorite team. It’s ok if fans behave like this. But, it is so weird that the team owners start praying to God for their team’s victory. Let it be superstition or faith, this part is not logical. But let’s take a look at the things that the owners are doing for the victory.
Punjab Owner Preity Zinta
The year 2015. Kings XI Punjab had three matches in Pune. Preity Zinta, the owner wanted her team to win at any cost. See what she did for the team. She brought a baba(Self Called Saint) to the dressing room of the stadium. That baba was too strict. He started doing havan in the dressing room. During that, the baba asked for a lot of grass from the field.
It was nothing, his next condition gave a shock to players. The baba declared that those who have eaten eggs or have eaten meat this morning, they cannot enter the dressing room. Eggs and meat are a part of daily diet of players. So if this condition hurt many players. Finally, Maharashtra Cricket Association President Ajay Shirke intervened and stopped the matter.

Mumbai Owners Ambani Family: Superstition in IPL
Many people believe in horoscope and future. Ambani family is also one of them. Ambani learned from the astrologer what is the horoscope of every player in the team. Not only this, but they also know about which time these players should go to the dressing room according to the horoscope. Players are allowed to enter the dressing room by that time.
Kolkata Owner Shah Rukh Khan
In the first season, Kolkata had black and golden colours. But astrologers of the team had opposed it. That’s why Kolkata changed the colour of the dress. They removed the black color of the dress and preferred it to purple colour.
As per the logic, we all know, prayers will not do it for the team. Their performance will do. Owners purchase players for crores of rupees and behave like this, is so childish. The day this all will stop, that day cricket will win.
