30 Sports Bars In Delhi That Are Going #LiveWithIPL
In 2008, Preity Zinta, Sharukh Khan, Shilpa Shetty Kundra, and a host of A-listers first introduced us to a whole new format of cricket, the Indian Premier League (IPL). And cricket being a “religion” of course we went berserk! Who wouldn’t want to watch Brett Lee and Irfan Pathan in one team pitted against Gautam Gambhir, and AB de Villiers in another? It was like book cricket came to life with the super rich folk shelling out millions to pick their favourite players. Moreover, we got yet another reason to cheer on for our cities. Also, the cheerleaders. It was the perfect recipe for a successful run, and that’s exactly what it has been.
It’s been 9 years now, and IPL is currently hosting its 10th season (yep, it’s been that long). And 10 is a big number, which makes this year’s Vivo IPL all the more special. So get out your jerseys and cheer on for your city at these sports bars in Delhi that are screening the IPL 10 madness live!
