The IPL matches have begun with all pomp and splendor this season and two matches have already been played. All of us know the worst hit during the IPL Season are the Television shows that generally take a dip in numbers due to shifting loyalties. At a time like this, it is wonderful to know someone from the industry has made an impactful presence at the very event leaving everyone awestruck!
