It's our most favorite time of the year. IPL time. The time when we take a walk down the street to the nearest electronic store and stand outside like a bunch of monkeys ogling at the TVs on display.
But the weather is too hot to do that now and we have an acquired taste in apps for such ogling business. Not that our love for TV has gone, but apps are far better in giving us live updates even if we ain’t ogling outside an electronic store.
So here are the 5 best apps for streaming and getting live updates of IPL matches.
1) Cricbuzz
Best app so far with features that every cricket fan will enjoy to the fullest. Not only will you get ball-to-ball updates with commentary, but you can also track and revisit previous matches.
