Cricket, Indian subcontinent’s most popular sport in terms of revenue generated and viewership, has now gone viral on the internet. Thanks to the Indian Premier League(IPL)-cricket’s equivalent of soccer leagues in Europe and America, cricket viewers are now flocking to the internet in search of score updates and for the matches.
IPL’s format has made the game shorter and more exciting, so for the younger audience following cricket is “in” again and following it online is much more conveners than being stuck to the television.
If you are looking for IPL Live Stream online, there surely you are confused and lost. Just Google “IPL Live Stream” and you are bombarded with hundreds of choices, most of them are just link farms.
Entertainmentandshowbizechoes same frustrations with mushrooming websites and blogs purporting to stream IPL live for free.
“It’s not just you and me, but million others are trying to catch the IPL stream on internet as well. You Tube were the first ones to boast of offering live IPL streaming but they had no idea about the number of cricket crazy fans in India. As soon as the first match got underway, a zillion people logged in causing the website to crash!
I tried few other websites like cricketnirvana and cricinfo but failed to get a proper stream. Some websites did offer live streaming but it was really really slow and trust me, I have a fast connection.
I finally got sick and tired of this and managed a TV for me. If I were you, I would give up hope and catch it on the TV, because there is no way to get an uninterrupted feed.”
Even YouTube’s official IPL channel is not to be trusted? Thats saying something!
Dailylatestnews, however, suggests that IPL channel at YouTube works. There is one catch though, if you are in America the IPL Live Stream through YouTube is not available for you. I wonder why they did that, there are lot of cricket fans in US too.
“If you want IPL Live streaming cricket online for free, then we can help you in this. First solution is to go to official channel of Indian Premier League on Youtube. Yes IPL is live on Youtube.
