Loyalist, double-dealer and 5 other fans you will see this PSL

When we speak of cricket leagues, there are three factors that make it a success — large investments, fancy names and a fanbase.
Ever since the Pakistan Super League (PSL) came to light, a lot has been discussed about the first two factors.
Now, it’s time the eyes turned to PSL's nationwide fanbase.
That’s right, the force has really awakened. Fans across the country have picked their sides and they are all set with their jerseys, anthems and exhilaration. Like it or not, your Twitter feeds and Facebook timelines are soon going to be brimming with PSL fans.
Here are the seven types of PSL fans you are likely to come across.
You’re welcome.

1. The hometown loyalist

Confession: I belong here.


Hometown loyalists pledge allegiance to their city and won’t dare to side with another piece of land. They believe that on the best day, their side could beat India out of the park. Not to mention that their interest in the league will drop by 80 per cent if their team is knocked out early on in the league.
This fan will stick by their team unconditionally owing to their fondness for their hometown. The hometown loyalists make up a major chunk of the league’s fanbase, and all teams count on them for support. (Go Qalandars!)

2. The neutral fan



This fan will not side with a particular team because in their defence, they're 'rooting for everyone and just enjoying the game'.
In most cases, that will be a blatant lie. This fan will steer clear of all the drama and skillfully avoid all banter. They’ll hail the victorious and safely walk off with the 'I know they’d win from the start' claim. This fan plays his/her cards carefully and steers clear of bias at all costs.
