These matches will be broadcasted live on the official IPL channel on YouTube. IPL includes 60 matches which are spread over 45 days.

Now fans all over the world won’t have to rely on online live streams or TV streaming to watch the match. They can easily watch them at YouTube IPL channel.
Australian Twenty20 skipper Michael Clarke has made it clear to his players that everyone has to contribute with bat, ball and in the field, and stressed to the squad the importance of being known as the best fielding team in the world.
Clarke said, “Another great summer of cricket has drawn to a close. The Twenty20 wins we had over West Indies were great as every game we play galvanises us as a group ahead of the World Twenty in May.
With two Twenty20 games in New Zealand, the squad really has to continue to develop momentum and play good cricket with the short amount of games we will play together prior to then.”
“Our fielding last Sunday night in Hobart, highlighted by the enthusiastic and skilful efforts of young Steve Smith, was a step in the right direction. As a team we can’t emphasise enough our support of each other in the field,” FOX Sports quoted Clarke, as saying.
Clarke said that all great teams have had fantastic fielders. The best he had come across in recent years would be:
1. Ricky Ponting
In all forms of the game, in all aspects of fielding, Ricky would be my No.1. His consistency over a long period of time has been outstanding.
2. Andrew Symonds
Symmo is an athlete first and foremost with fantastic coordination and a great arm. He had speed across the field.
3. Herschelle Gibbs
Australians probably better remember one of Hershelle’s blunders in the 1999 World Cup, but I haven’t seen a more dependable contributor in opposition teams. Herschelle has not got the praise he deserves for his excellent fielding exploits.
4. AB DeVilliers
A fantastic fieldsman. I have seen some amazing catches and ground fielding from him. Jonty Rhodes has left a great legacy in South African fielding standards and AB has the enthusiasm and class so wonderfully role-modelled by Jonty. He is as gifted as anyone I have seen.
5. Paul Collingwood
Has played a key leadership role in stressing the importance of fielding to the England team. He has great hands.

Arsenal teenager Aaron Ramsey midfielder and Wales, and took off on a stretcher to an ambulance waiting on the side of the pitch after suffering a horrific injury during the 3-1 win over Stoke City.
To fuel Ryan Shawcross was sent off for the challenge in the 66th minute Premier League match, but looked just as confused players on both sides after the accident.
Stoke defender seems to be wiping away tears as he was walking towards the dressing room. Ramsey (19 years) was treated for several minutes and was the oxygen mask on his face and was taken away.
