The Indian Premier League (IPL) has always been the source of entertainment for fans over the ages. The cash-rich tournament has grabbed the attention of many who used to flood the stadium and enjoy the limited-overs game.

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed everything and with keeping the safety of fans and players in mind, the league has gone behind closed doors.

However, before when situations were better and fans flooded the stadiums, the IPL cameramen were known to make people famous just by zooming on them.

The camera has caught many fans and even the franchise stars celebrating from their respective stands. So let's have alook at all the women supporting each franchise that the cameramen of IPL has caught.

Navnita Gautam is the massage therapist for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Gautam is from Canada and worked with the Toronto Nationals in Global T20 League.

As she always wanted to be associated with cricket, especially IPL, she shifted her base to India in 2017.

She was appointed by RCB in October 2019 and this news had grabbed the headlines all over. The reason being the lack of female support staff members in the IPL.

During an IPL 2018 clash in Pune between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI), the camera found someone sitting tensely.

Her tense look combined with her simple beauty had got social media curious and it was later revealed that the 'mystery woman' was the sister of CSK pacer Deepak Chahar. Her name is Malti Chahar and she was present at the Stadium to support her brother.

Malti is a die-hard MS Dhoni fan and keeps uploading photos of Dhoni on her official Instagram account. Not just Deepak, she even was to support her other brother Rahul who plays from MI.

It was during the IPL 2019 final between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI), that the cameraman's focus shifted from the match and to one particular 'mystery girl' who was cheering from the stands. With social media asking questions, it came to be known that her name was Aditi Hundia. Soon after, her Instagram followers crossed over 100k within a few hours.

Aditi Hundia is a model and has taken part in Miss India 2017 pageant where she was crowned Miss India Rajasthan. She even won the Miss Diva 2018 pageant and was crowned Miss Diva Supranational. She represented India at the prestigious Miss Supranational contest in Poland.

While she is said to be a fan of MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli, she was seen supporting Mumbai Indians in the IPL and often spotted cheering the team in the stands.
