Life without IPL for a day

Yesterday, there was no IPL match. I felt really odd with myself without watching IPL. I felt like I have lot of time after I went home in the evening. Though all the matches in IPL are not very exciting, but cricket is a great addiction to most of our countrymen. Whatever may be the quality and the calibre of the players, you still end up watching these Twenty20 matches as everything gets over by 3 hours flat. When I deliberate on why Twenty20 is a success, it is not that people like to see big hitting alone but also they are able to know the result. Without knowing the result and just watching some big hitting, would the IPL be exciting? It would look like match highlights rather than a match!
