With two premier T20 leagues running simultaneously, the 18th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 and the 10th edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), the T20 fever has reached an all-time high.
The PSL has seen a string of high-scoring encounters, while the IPL has offered a balanced mix of both low-scoring thrillers and high-octane run chases. Amidst all the cricketing action, the 2025 IPL witnessed its first Super Over in a nail-biting clash between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Rajasthan Royals (RR). Mitchell Starc bowled the final over for DC, defending 9 runs and pushing the game into a Super Over, where DC eventually emerged victorious.
In a unique moment that caught widespread attention, a PSL fan in the stadium was seen watching the IPL match live on his phone. The clip quickly went viral on social media, highlighting not just the popularity of IPL but also its wide-reaching impact among cricket audiences globally. It sparked discussions on how deeply cricket is inbuilt with fans’ lives and how the IPL continues to captivate viewers, even during a PSL match.
