How to watch IPL Twenty20 matches live on YouTube in USA

Last week I have posted that YouTube is live streaming the IPL Twenty20 matches for free. But, as pointed out in the comments of that post, there are some caveats. YouTube live stream is apparently not "live" as there is a 5 minutes delay. And, it is not available in United States. So, if you can live with the 5 minutes delay, below is how you can access it inside the US.

Many websites that are US-only (like Hulu) are accessed by users from outside the US using tools that disguise/hide your IP address. You can use the same technique to access the live IPL stream on YouTube even though you live in US. Use Hotspot Shield, IP Hider or IP Disguise to disguise your IP. IP Hider lets you select a proxy. So, you can use it to select a proxy that is not in US and watch the IPL matches live.

Hope this helps those who are inside the US and want to watch IPL 3.
