Start-up Screen
I tried the IPL Batsman image, the IPL Trophy and other images for this section but nothing satisfied me. So tried a player and it suited best. If you don't want Chris Gayle there and expect other versions, please comment and suggest a player.
Game Menu
Out of 17 renders used in the menu, 9 are from Ahad. Special thanks to him. The rest 8 are cut by me.
The Menu Background is a Complete Scratch Work.

---Team Select Menu Logos
Tried a different version for Team Select Logos, differing from Official Broadcast themed logos. It actually worked.
---
In-Game Broadcast Team Logos
Similar to Official Broadcast Logos, worked from scratch. Note that the 3D Logos were completely recreated. The 'Versus' image was also worked from scratch.
---
Overlay and In-Game Menu
---
The Original IPL Overlay had many features that could not be satisfied by overlay options of Cricket 07. So a new similar themed overlay was redesigned and made for the game. This includes completely scratch-worked graphical elements and utilizes the idea of MattW's new edited .rfe file which brings change to positioning of overlay. Special thanks to MattW for allowing me to release his .big file along with this.
---
The Bowling-Meter part was re-worked, but I am not sure about its performance. This overlay also includes new Control Buttons and New TV Umpire Graphics. The Channel overlay is made for indiatimesLIVE that provided an Online Coverage of the event. The Wagon Wheel, Spider and Field Editor were newly made. This also features a new Cursor and a Keyboard.

Team Kits
--
The Kitbags included in patch would not contain Alternate RCB and KTK Kits by default, however they can be downloaded from the thread separately later.
--
Umpire Kits
--
The default Umpire Kit included in the patch is only the Red Apparel. The other two can be downloaded later from the thread.
The Slim Umpire model is edited by Ahad, Special thanks to him for allowing me to use them with the patch.
--
ROSTERS
--
I am extremely thankful to Biggy for making the rosters exclusively for this Patch. Without his help, this patch wouldn't have breathed.
All players are assigned with accurate bats, you need ZaxWillowz 256 HD BatPack for this to work. Most players will have accurate faces.
All the teams will be in the 'Others' section causing no disturbance to the Australian and English domestic circuits.
Fixtures can't be expected, but freelance fun is assured to maximum extent.

Well, I won't say anything now, as this was one of my first patches. You may not like it but you can. It just has graphics but its gameplay is just normal. You are recommended to download a better logo pack for this patch! :-)
