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.
