Since the time IPL has started, it has given the country something to cheer about. Probably the best thing about IPL is the fact that no more Saas-Bahu serials for about a month. The drama which happens in the IPL is so much that it surely gives all the soaps a run for their money. IPL has also thrown some names to us which were never heard of before and then there are other players whose names we have heard, but we might not remember them playing in the IPL.
