	Call it sheer craving for entertainment or love for the game,
but most Pakistanis sure can’t sleep without their daily dose of IPL
on TV.

Like Indians, Pakistanis are hooked to the IPL phenomenon — though
they are not new to the T-20 concept. They have their domestic
tournaments, but the size and star value of the IPL are simply
irresistible. It doesn’t matter where they are in the evening — their
drawing rooms or in a hotel lobby — the matches are a must-watch.

Watching SRK doing a jig in the stands or Preity Zinta cheering her
team is an obvious bonus, but the cricket is what actually interests
her, insists Amra, a student of the prestigious National College of
Art.

It’s not just about watching Shoaib Akhtar play for Kolkata or Shoaib
Malik for Delhi. Many in this country, in fact, are not impressed with
the performance of the Pakistani players, an exception being the
Rawalpindi Express. “All my friends have just gone crazy. They are
watching every minute of the games,” says Rahat, a student of the
Lahore University of Management Sciences. 

Geo Super, which is airing the matches live, has seen a surge in
popularity. Some Lahoris have a complaint though. “Lahore should be
included as an IPL venue next season,” suggests Babar, a business
executive. Who knows, the IPL managers might just oblige.
