It is finally that time of year when the whole country will be glued to the screens, watching India’s favorite sport in its T20 form. Students will sneak a look at the scores during their classes while employees will quickly check the runs and wickets during work. The love for cricket in our country brought this season back again. In the pandemic, where most of the people are in their homes, from many previous months, this tournament is a light breeze full of excitement and entertainment. It is the season of IPL T20!
IPL 2021 starts in the second week of April and we couldn’t be more hyped. Last year, the tournament took place in UAE but the league has come home this year. If this was the period before the pandemic, we would be able to go to stadiums to see our favorite team play. We would shop for the official IPL merchandise with our friends. This could’ve been the time when even the gully cricket flourished, the cricket fever spreading, people would play more during the tournament, trying to ball like Jasprit Bumrah or perform a helicopter shot like MSD. Now isn’t the same time, we are stuck inside our homes with our friends far away from us. There are things you can do this season from your home which will help you enjoy your game to the fullest –
Want to watch the match with your friends? You can. Yes! Disney + Hotstar allows you to watch IPL T20 matches together with 5 of your friends online. You can chat while watching the match. If you enjoy good commentary, stats, video content of a match then we recommend installing Cricbuzz. Never miss a moment of the game with this app. Scorecards and match notifications will help you know every detail.

Another way you can enjoy this IPL is by playing fantasy leagues. Heard of it before, but don’t know what it is? We got you.

In the case of cricket fantasy leagues, fantasy 11 teams i.e. each virtual team consisting of 11 players will be assembled. Apps like Dream11 and My11 Circle allow you to play these. Cash prices are also acquired in this game.
This year’s IPL is going to be different than the ones before and so will be the experience of watching it. All we can hope for is our team to win. Enjoy this season safely inside your home and use all the tips given above for a better experience.
