The entertainment is not restricted to only the cricket matches, as IPL franchises have set up accounts across social media to continuously provide content to their fans. This provides the viewers with a more immersive experience as they get a peek behind the curtains.
Emotions, camaraderie, and light moments displayed by their favourite players enables the fans to get more invested in the IPL. For the franchises, it is the perfect way to reach out to larger audiences.
