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.
