Why would anyone watch all the matches of the IPL? (Except it's related to their jobs)
How many times we watch all matches in the World Cup? Even hard core cricket fans don't follow every team's fixtures in the WC as they focus in high profile games, casual cricket fans only follow rivalry-matches only and so it's a same with the IPL.
3-4 years ago, I used to watch almost all the IPL matches live. But now I don't do that. For this season (2022), I watched only 5-6 matches live. Party due to the repetitiveness, and then partly due to lack of free time. An average IPL match lasts for 3.5 to 4 hours and if we watch one of these matches, then the entire spare time for that day is gone. On the other hand, EPL matches last for around 1.5 hours. And the EPL season stretches for many months and most of the matches are being played on weekends. But IPL is having a jam packed schedule and all the matches will be played and completed in 2 to 2.5 months.
