Respectfully, I hope the scheduling is better this time. Last season had some matches with very odd timings for Indian viewers. Otherwise, it's a fantastic league for cricket lovers.

The team names are a bit generic, no? "Royals", "Lions", "Tigers"... could have been more creative. But hey, the cricket should be good! Rishi Dhawan's words about fan support are spot on.

June 2026 feels so far away! But good things come to those who wait. Hope they stream it on free-to-air platforms or affordable OTT for maximum reach in India.
