Dharamsala: Dharamsala may be a quiet town but its residents prefer the fast-paced T20 version of cricket they often see in the IPL, with the lack of buzz ahead of the fourth One-day International between India and the West Indies being a clear indicator.

While walking around the hill station, one doesn't get the feeling that India's madly-loved cricket stars will be playing at the scenic HPCA Stadium after almost two years. The locals and organisers say excitement during the IPL is much more palpable than at the time of an international match.
