Indian Premier League is beyond cricket. It's a
party, it's a festival, and it's serious cricket at the same time. For
fringe cricketers, it's a chance to prove themselves on a stage
unmatched to any they have been on. For families, it's a time to go out,
have fun and watch big hits sailing into the stands.
Amid all this fanfare, there are moments - cricket and beyond - that catch your imagination and last with you over time. Here's a collection of some of those from the first week and a half of IPL Season 8.
