One could predict that cheerleaders often come closer to the fans as the spectators at the boundaries get to witness the art much closer as compared to those in the top tiers.

The highly competitive tournament, as one could expect, be a stressing tournament and the players give in their best efforts day in and out. To relax them post the conclusion of each match, after-contest parties were arranged and as one could predict, it might be dangerous for the women.

As one could expect, the cheerleaders go unnoticed more often than not with the cricketers getting all the recognition they want. In one such instance, a couple of years ago, cheerleaders signed up with the Rajasthan franchise claimed that they get delayed payments most of the time or do not get them at all. 

Glamour and the Indian T20 League go hand in hand and cheerleaders are no exception to the same as they get exploited by the world, without their concern on most occasions and get ignored in return with the management failing to do its duty.
