5 ways in which IPL has impacted the daily life of a cricket fan: Brendon McCullum smashed a sumptuous 158* to mark the beginning of something special in the history of World Cricket and since then many hurdles have come in the path of this glamorous T-20 league but it has only grown from strength to strength. It has captured the imagination of fervent fans in such a way that very rarely aficionados of cricket do anything besides sitting in front of the TV and watching the riveting IPL match every night at 8 PM while it is in progress. It has impacted all our lives in some way or the other. Here are the 5 ways in which IPL has changed our lives. 1. TV Serials lose their TRP: Loss of TRP for TV serials in the month of April-May is a common in IPL Season.

Daily soaps are a part and parcel of our life for most part of the year as there isn’t any other mode of leisure but IPL provides the viewers an option and in a cricket loving nation like ours, majority of the youth and even adults switch to Sony Six for cricketing action instead of watching daily soaps or news. 2. A boot in sale for Restaurants: IPL with delicious food or a drink is the ideal combination for every cricket enthusiast.

The excitement of watching the matches with friends on a bigger screen is comparatively more during the knock-out stage. 3. Rarely a Big banner Movie Releases: Quite a few movies were postponed last year due to IPL.

The summer vacations were considered an apt time to release a movie as it was easier to attract larger audiences; but since the past few years’ film producers are reluctant to release it when the IPL is on with the fear of the movie going unnoticed under the hype of the league, so they opt to postponing as an option. 4. Experience of a Life Time: Fans can watch the match live from the ground and relish this unique experience.

In addition to that, cities like Cuttack, Vizag also gets to host 2-3 matches in a year which means more fans can watch the match live from the ground and relish this unique experience. 5. Fans get an opportunity to meet their heroes: Fans get an opportunity to meet their heroes As we all know we live in a vast country and venues of the Indian T20 league are spread all across the nation, from Mohali in the north to Chennai down South; so to travel from one city to another air is the quickest and the best available option and during this the fans get an opportunity to share flight with a team if luck goes their way, and they have a chance to get photographed with their favorite cricketers. Meeting and interacting with these SUPERSTARS is a dream come true moment for the fans.
