Just like every season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), the 17th edition is also creating a lot of buzz. From new players introducing themselves on cricket grounds to legendary players like Virat Kohli, Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Rohit Sharma not taking up the captainship, there are a lot of sweet and sour things that have already happened in the IPL 2024 so far. Amidst all these things, the tradition of people getting viral after being shown on jumbotrons during the IPL matches is still very much alive.
We witnessed a glimpse of the same at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium on April 11, 2024, when Mumbai Indians locked horns with Royal Challengers Bangalore. It was an intense match, but the Mumbai Indians won it by seven wickets, earning three crucial points. However, during a segment of the match, IPL's official cameraman focused his lens on a female fan sitting in the MI section, and the entire stadium cheered.
