The Indian Premier League (IPL), also known as the TATA IPL for sponsorship reasons, is a
men's Twenty20 (T20)
cricket
league held annually in India. Founded by the BCCI (the Board of Control for Cricket in
India) in 2007, the
league
features ten city-based franchise teams.[3][4] The IPL usually takes place during the summer,
between March and
May each
year. It has an exclusive window in the ICC Future Tours Programme, resulting in fewer
international cricket
tours
occurring during the IPL seasons.[5]

The IPL is by far the most popular cricket league in the world; in 2014, it ranked sixth in
average attendance
among all
sports leagues.[6] In 2010, the IPL became the first sporting event to be broadcast live on
YouTube.[7][8]
Inspired by
the success of the IPL, other Indian sports leagues have been established.[a][11][12][13] In
2022, the league's
brand
value was estimated at ₹90,038 crore (US$11 billion).[14] According to the BCCI, the 2015
IPL season contributed
₹1,150
crore (US$140 million) to India's GDP.[15] In December 2022, the IPL achieved a valuation
of US$10.9 billion,
becoming a
decacorn and registering a 75% growth in dollar terms since 2020 when it was valued at $6.2
billion, according
to a
report by the consulting firm D and P Advisory.[16] Its 2023 final became the most streamed
live event on the
internet,
with 32 million viewers.[17]

In 2023, the league sold its media rights for the next 4 Seasons for US$6.4 billion to
Viacom18 and Star
Sports,[18]
meaning each IPL match was valued at $13.4 million.[19] As of 2023, there have been sixteen
seasons of the
tournament.
The current champions are the Chennai Super Kings, who won the 2023 season after defeating
the Gujarat Titans in
the
final.[20]
</p>
<h2 id="history">History</h2>
<p>
Inspired by a rival<br>
In 2007, Zee Entertainment Enterprises founded the Indian Cricket League (ICL).[21] The
ICL was not recognized
by the
Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) or the International Cricket Council (ICC).
Moreover, the BCCI was
unhappy
about its committee members joining the ICL executive board.[22] In response, the BCCI
increased the prize money
for its
domestic tournaments and imposed lifetime bans on players who joined the rival league,
which it considered a
rebel
league.[23][24]<br><br>

Foundation<br>
On 13 September 2007,[25] following India's victory at the 2007 T20 World Cup,[26] the
BCCI announced a
franchise based
Twenty20 cricket competition known as the Indian Premier League. The inaugural season was
scheduled to start in
April
2008, commencing with a "high-profile ceremony" in New Delhi. BCCI Vice-president Lalit
Modi, who led the IPL
initiative, provided details of the tournament, including its format, prize money, franchise
revenue system, and
squad
composition rules. The league, to be managed by a seven-man governing council, would also
serve as the
qualifying
mechanism for that year's Champions League Twenty20.[25]<br>

To determine team ownership, an auction for the franchises was held on 24 January 2008. The
reserve prices for
the eight
franchises totalled $400 million,[24] but the auction ultimately raised $723.59 million.[27]
The league
officially
commenced in April 2008, featuring Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Mumbai Indians (MI),
Delhi Daredevils (DD), Kings
XI
Punjab (KXIP), Deccan Chargers (DC), Rajasthan Royals (RR), Kolkata Knight Riders
(KKR), and Royal Challengers
Bangalore
(RCB).[28]<br>

Following the ban on players who chose to participate in the ICL, the rival league shut down
in 2009.[29][30]

New franchises, Pune Warriors India and Kochi Tuskers Kerala, joined the league before the
fourth season in
2011.[31]
The Sahara Adventure Sports Group purchased the Pune franchise for $370 million, while
Rendezvous Sports World
bought
the Kochi franchise for $333.3 million.[31] The Kochi franchise was terminated after just one
season due to
their
failure to pay the BCCI the 10% bank guarantee element of the franchise fee.[32]<br>

In September 2012, the Deccan Chargers franchise agreement was terminated after the BCCI
failed to find new
owners.[33]
In October, an auction was held for a replacement franchise; Sun TV Network won the bid for
what became the
Hyderabad
franchise;[34] the team was named Sunrisers Hyderabad.[35]<br>

Pune Warriors India withdrew from the IPL in May 2013 due to financial differences with the
BCCI.[36] The BCCI
officially terminated the franchise in October, and the league reverted to eight teams.[37]

In June 2015, the two-time champions Chennai Super Kings and the inaugural season
champions Rajasthan Royals
were
suspended for two seasons following their involvement in a spot-fixing and betting scandal.
[38] The two teams
were
replaced for two seasons by franchises based in Pune and Rajkot.[39][40]<br>

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the venue for the 2020 season was moved and games were
played in the United Arab
Emirates.[41][42] In August 2021, the BCCI announced two new franchises, based in two of
six shortlisted cities,
would
join the league in the 2022 season.[43][44] In closed bidding held in October, the RPSG
Group and CVC Capital
won the
bids for the teams, paying ₹7,000 crore (US$880 million) and ₹5,200 crore (US$650
million),
respectively.[45][46] The
teams were subsequently named Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans.<br>

Several IPL franchise owners have expanded their business by acquiring teams in other
franchise leagues, such as
the
Caribbean Premier League (CPL), South Africa's SA20, the UAE's International League T20
(ILT) and the USA's
Major League
Cricket (MLC). These teams have been branded with similar names to their parent IPL
franchises.[47]
</p>

<h2 id="rules">Rules</h2>

<p>
The IPL has several rules which vary from the established Laws of cricket or those used in
other Twenty20 (T20)
leagues:<br>

<ul>

<li>IPL games incorporate television timeouts. Each team is given a two-and-a-half-minute


"strategic time-out"
during each
innings. One must be taken by the bowling team at the end of either 6th, 7th, 8th or 9th over
and the other
by the
batting team at the end of either 13th, 14th, 15th or 16th over. A penalty may be imposed if
umpires find
teams misusing
this privilege.[65]
<li>Since the 2018 season, the Decision Review System (DRS) has been used in all IPL
matches, allowing each team
two
opportunities in each innings to review an on-field umpire's decision.[66] From the 2023
season, this was
extended to
allow the review of wides and no-balls.[67]
<li>If the bowling team does not complete its overs in the allocated time, it may place only
four fielders
outside of the
fielding restrictions circle for the remainder of the innings,[67] or the match referee may
impose financial
sanctions
on the bowling team after the match, with players fined a proportion of their match fee.[68]
Teams can use a substitute, termed an "impact player", from a list of five players named as
possible
substitutes.
<li>The
substitution can be made before the start of the innings, when a wicket falls, when a batter
retires or at
the end of an
over. Both teams can introduce a substitute once per match.[69][70]
<li>Teams can declare their playing eleven to the match referee before or after the toss.[69]
A five-run penalty is imposed if a fielder or wicket-keeper makes an unfair movement while
the bowler is
bowling and the
ball is designated as dead ball.[71][67][69]
<li>Teams can include a maximum of four overseas players in their playing eleven. If a team
wants an overseas
player as
impact player, then it must include a maximum of three overseas players in their playing
eleven.[70]
Teams must include 25 players, with a maximum of eight overseas players.[72]
<li>From the 2024 season, bowlers will be allowed to deliver two bouncers an over. This
change in playing
conditions was
trialled during the 2023–24 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, India's domestic T20 tournament.

<h2 id="teams">Teams</h2>
<p>As of the 2024 season, the league has ten teams based in cities across India.</p>

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) is an Indian professional cricket franchise based in Chennai,
Tamil Nadu. The team
competes in
the Indian Premier League (IPL) and was one of the eight franchises incorporated when the
league was established
in
2008. The team plays its home matches at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai and is
owned by Chennai Super
Kings
Cricket Limited.<br>

Super Kings is the joint-most successful IPL franchise having won five IPL titles (shared with
Mumbai Indians).

IPL, they have appeared in a record 10 finals and qualified for the playoff stages 12 times out
of the 14
seasons they
have played, more than any other team. Super Kings have also won the Champions League
Twenty20 twice in 2010 and
2014.
The team is currently captained by Ruturaj Gaikwad and coached by Stephen Fleming.<br>

The team was suspended for two years from the IPL starting July 2015 due to the involvement
of its owners in the
2013
IPL betting case. Super Kings re-joined IPL for the 2018 season and won the title in its
comeback season. The
team has a
significant fan following. In January 2022, CSK became India's first unicorn sports
enterprise. As of 2022, it
was the
second most valuable IPL franchise with a valuation of $1.15 billion.
</p>

<h2 id="history">history</h2>
<p>
Early years (2008–09)<br>
In September 2007, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the
establishment of the Indian
Premier
League (IPL), a Twenty20 competition with the inaugural season to be held in 2008.[1]
Chennai was one of the
eight
city-based franchises unveiled for the inaugaural edition in 2018.[2]<br>

he first player auctions for the inaugural IPL season was conducted in January 2008. MS
Dhoni, who was the
captain of
the Indian team was bought by the Super Kings for $1.5 million, the most expensive buy at the
auction.[3] The
franchise
bought other international cricketers such as Suresh Raina, Matthew Hayden, Stephen
Fleming, Muttiah
Muralitharan and
Michael Hussey.[4] Ahead of the inaugural season, the franchise named Dhoni as the captain
of the team and
appointed
Kepler Wessels as the head coach.[5] Super Kings played their first game in the IPL on 19
April 2008 against
Kings XI
Punjab at Mohali, which they won by 33 runs.[6] The Super Kings finished the league stage
in third place with
eight wins
from 14 games.[7] They beat Kings XI Punjab by nine wickets in the semifinal.[8] The Super
Kings faced the
Rajasthan
Royals in the final at Mumbai which they lost by three wickets.[9] By finishing as runners-up,
the Super Kings
qualified
for the inaugural season of the inaugural Champions League Twenty20 (CLT20). The
tournament was later cancelled
due to
the 2008 Mumbai attacks and the Super Kings received $5 million as compensation for the
same.[10]<br>

Ahead of the 2009 season, Stephen Fleming took over as the head coach of the Super Kings.
[11] At the player
auction,
Super Kings bought English all-rounder Andrew Flintoff for $1.55 million making him the
joint highest-paid IPL
cricketer.[12] Hussey decided to skip the IPL season to focus on The Ashes.[13] The Super
Kings finished the
league
stage in second place with 17 points from 14 matches.[14] In the semi-finals, they were
beaten by Royal
Challengers
Bangalore by six wickets.[15] Super Kings opener Matthew Hayden, who scored 572 runs in
the tournament, won the
Orange
Cap for the leading run-scorer of the season.[16]<br>

Championship and further success (2010–12)<br>


In 2010, the Super Kings struggled in the first half of the regular season, winning only two
matches out of
seven.[17]
They won five of their next seven games including a must-win encounter against Kings XI
Punjab at
Dharamshala.[18] With
seven wins from 14 matches, Chennai finished the league stage in third place to qualify for
the semi-finals for
the
third consecutive season.[19] In the semifinal, the Super Kings scored a modest 142/7 in 20
overs against
defending
champions Deccan Chargers but before restricting the Chargers to 104 for a 38-run victory.
[20] The Super Kings
defeated
Mumbai Indians by 22 runs in the final to secure their first ever IPL title.[21][22] With the
win, the Super
Kings
qualified for the 2010 Champions League Twenty20 that was held in South Africa. At the
Champions League, the
Super Kings
finished as top of Group A with three wins and a defeat.[23] In the semi-final at Durban, the
Super Kings
defeated Royal
Challengers Bangalore by 52 runs.[24] In their first CLT20 final at Johannesburg, they beat
the Chevrolet
Warriors by
eight wickets to win the tournament.[25] Murali Vijay who won the Man of the Match in the
final was awarded the
Golden
Bat for scoring the most runs in the tournament and Ravichandran Ashwin, who was the
leading wicket-taker, was
adjudged
the Player of the Series.[26]<br>

For the 2011 IPL season, two new teams were added and a fresh auction was to be held.[27]
The IPL Governing
Council
declared that each franchise could retain a maximum of four players of their current squad of
which only three
of whom
can be Indian players and the Super Kings retained captain MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina, Murali
Vijay and Albie
Morkel. At the
auction, they bought back some of the old players such as Hussey, Ashwin, Bollinger and
Subramaniam
Badrinath.[28] In
the 2011 season, they finished second in the league stage with nine wins and five loses.[29]
They faced Royal
Challengers Bangalore in the qualifier which they won by six wickets to qualify for the final.
[30] In the final,
they
beat Royal Challengers in Chennai to win a second consecutive IPL title with Vijay named as
Man of the Match for
his
innings of 95 runs.[31] At the Champions League held later that year, the Super Kings won
only one out of their
four
group matches and finished at the bottom of the table.[32]<br>

Ahead of the 2012 IPL season, the franchise signed up Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja
for $2 million at the
players'
auction.[33] Super Kings won only five of their first 12 games before winning three of their
last four matches
to
qualify for the playoffs.[34] In the playoffs, they beat the Mumbai Indians by 38 runs and
league stage
table-toppers
Delhi Daredevils by 86 runs in consecutive matches to qualify for the final.[35][36] In the
final, the Super
Kings lost
to Kolkata Knight Riders by five wickets.[37] In the Champions League, the Super Kings did
not progress past the
group
stage and ended with two wins from four matches.[38]<br>

Consistent performance and suspension (2013–17)<br>


Ahead of the 2013 season, the Super Kings strengthened their bowling attack by signing up
five new bowlers.[39]
In the
IPL season, they finished on top of the group stage points table for the first time with 11 wins
from 16
matches.[40]
During the season, they also equaled the record for most wins in succession in the IPL with
seven wins.[41] In
the first
qualifier at Delhi against Mumbai Indians, the Super Kings won by 48 runs aided by
unbeaten half-centuries from
Hussey
and Raina, to qualify for the final.[42] In the final against Mumbai Indians at Kolkata, the
Super Kings lost
the match
by 23 runs.[43] Michael Hussey top scored with 733 runs winning the Orange Cap for the
most runs in the season,
while
Dwayne Bravo won the Purple Cap for the most wickets (32).[44] The Super Kings qualified
for the Champions
League which
was held in India in September–October. They won three of the four matches in the group
stage to qualify for the
semi-finals, in which they suffered a 14-run defeat to Rajasthan Royals at Jaipur.[45]
[46]<br>

In May 2013, Gurunath Meiyappan, who was the team principal of the Super Kings was
arrested by Mumbai Police on
charges
of placing bets on IPL matches.[47][48] In February 2014, a three-member panel appointed
by the Supreme Court of
India
inquired into the betting case, and indicted Meiyappan for illegal betting during the 2013 IPL
season.[49]<br>

Before the 2014 season, Chennai retained Dhoni, Raina, Jadeja, Ashwin and Bravo ahead of
the players'
auction.[50] At
the auction, the franchise bought Brendon McCullum, Dwayne Smith, Faf du Plessis, Ashish
Nehra and Mohit Sharma
among
others.[51] The first phase of the IPL season was held in the UAE with the second phase
returning to India, but
the
Super Kings' home matches were shifted from Chennai to Ranchi due to a dispute between the
Government of Tamil
Nadu and
the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association.[52] The Super Kings started the season with eight wins
in their first ten
matches
before suffering from a dip in form towards the end of the regular season, but recovered to
finish third in the
points
table to qualify for the playoffs.[53][54] In the first match of the playoffs, they beat Mumbai
Indians by seven
wickets
before losing to Kings XI Punjab in the next match.[55] In the 2014 Champions League, the
Super Kings won two
matches to
finsh second in the group table to qualify for the semifinal.[56] They beat Kings XI Punjab in
the semi-finals
by 65
runs.[57] At the final in Bangalore, the Super Kings defeated IPL champions Kolkata Knight
Riders by eight
wickets to
win their second CLT20 title.[58] Raina finished as the highest run-getter of the tournament
and was awarded Man
of the
Tournament.[59]<br>

Ahead of the 2015 season, they got Michael Hussey back and also bought Kyle Abbott, Irfan
Pathan and Andrew Tye
among
others in the players' auction.[60] In the group stage, the Super Kings topped the table with
nine wins from 14
matches.[61] In the playoffs, Chennai lost by 25 runs to Mumbai in the first match before
defeating Royal
Challengers in
the next match to qualify for the final.[62] In the final, they lost against Mumbai by 41 runs.
[63] After the
end of the
season, on 14 July 2015, the RM Lodha committee appointed by the Supreme Court of India,
suspended Rajasthan
Royals and
Chennai Super Kings from the Indian Premier League for a period of two years due to the
association of their
owners with
illegal betting.<br>

Chennai Super Kings play their home matches at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium (also
known as "Chepauk") in
Chennai.[115]
It is one of the oldest cricket stadiums in India.[116] The stadium is owned by the Tamil Nadu
Cricket
Association and
has a seating capacity of 38,000.[115] The stadium is often referred to as "Fortress Chepauk"
and "Lions'
den".<br>

In 2014, Chennai Super Kings played their home matches at JSCA International Cricket
Stadium at Ranchi due to
issues
with Government of Tamil Nadu regarding the participation of Sri Lankan players.[119][120]
In 2018, Chennai
Super Kings
played six of the home games at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune after
members of political
parties
staged protests outside the Chepauk stadium and the Tamil Nadu Police indicated their
inability to provide
security for
the matches.

Rajasthan Royals (often abbreviated as RR) are a professional franchise cricket team based
in Jaipur, Rajasthan,
that
competes in the Indian Premier League (IPL).[2] Founded in 2008 as one of the initial eight
IPL franchises, the
team is
owned by Manoj Badale and The Royals Sports Group.[3] The Royals team is based at the
Sawai Mansingh Stadium in
Jaipur.[4][5] It plays its home matches at Sawai Mansingh Stadium and at ACA Stadium,
Guwahati.[6] The Royals
are known
to unearth obscure and high potential talent.<br>

The team won the inaugural edition of the IPL under the captaincy of Shane Warne, despite
being written off as a
title
contender by the media and fans. The Royals were also the runners-up of the 2013
Champions League Twenty20 under
Rahul
Dravid's captaincy,[6][9] and the runners-up of the 2022 Indian Premier League under the
captaincy of Sanju
Samson and
leadership of Kumar Sangakkara.<br>

On 14 July 2015, the verdict reached by a panel appointed by the Supreme Court of India
suspended Rajasthan
Royals and
Chennai Super Kings for two years over a 2013 betting scandal, meaning they could not
participate in both the
2016 and
2017 IPL tournaments. The team returned to the competition with the 2018 season.<br>
The team's record run-scorer is Sanju Samson with 3403 runs,[10] while the leading wicket-
taker is Shane Watson,
with 67
wickets.<br>
</p>

<h2 id="history">history</h2>
<p>
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the establishment of the Indian
Premier League (IPL)
in
September 2007, a Twenty20 competition to be started in 2008.[12] The Rajasthan Royals
were one of the original
eight
teams in the inaugural season of the IPL in 2008. Emerging Media gained ownership of the
Jaipur-based franchise
team
with a bid of $67 million, making it the least expensive team in the league.<br>

As of 2024,[13] the franchise is owned by the Royals Sports Group (Emerging Media
Sporting Holdings Limited),
which
holds a 65% stake. Key minority stakeholders include Lachlan Murdoch and RedBird Capital
Partners.[14] There
have been
past controversies regarding the ownership of the franchise, leading to a brief expulsion of
the team from the
league in
2010.[15] The franchise made a pre-tax profit of $7.5 million in 2009.<br><br>

Expulsion from the IPL and return<br>


In 2010, the BCCI decided to expel Kings XI Punjab and Rajasthan Royals from the IPL.[17]
The expulsion baffled
captain
Shane Warne who stated that he suspected that there might be some foul play and that the
BCCI might possess some
ulterior motives.[18] The Rajasthan Royals filed an appeal against the decision and the two
parties went to the
Bombay
High Court to decide.[15] The Bombay High Court adjourned that case until 29 October
2010,[19] but it was
revised to 15
November because they didn't want it to coincide with Diwali celebrations from 1 to 14
November.<br>

Later, it was announced by the Royals that they told the Bombay High Court that they would
be negotiating with
an
arbitrator to see if they could reconcile with the IPL.[21] The arbitrator announced that
while the
investigation was
ongoing, the Royals would remain a part of the IPL for six weeks and the BCCI would not be
allowed to change
rules which
might go against the Royals. The six-week period included the player auction in which
Rajasthan Royals
participated.[22]
After this, the Bombay High Court rejected the appeals of the BCCI against keeping the
Rajasthan Royals in the
IPL for
six weeks while the case was sorted out.[23] It was estimated that because of the losses in
court cases and
damage in
reputation, the BCCI decided not to pursue further legal action against the Rajasthan Royals
or Kings XI Punjab
– the
teams were allowed to remain in the IPL.<br><br>

Ban in 2015<br>
In 2015, the team was banned for two years following the Lodha Committee inquiry.<br>

Rajasthan Royals became the source of controversy when inappropriate and fictitious bids
were made, violating
BCCI
norms.[26] Ranjit Barthakur and Fraser Castellino were the only two shareholders of the
team, which was
completely
unknown to the BCCI at the time.[27][28] An out-of-court settlement between the two ensued.
[citation needed] In
2015,
Rajasthan Royals were banned for two years by the BCCI, with its owner Raj Kundra banned
for life.

The home venue of the Royals is the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. The stadium was

In September 2007, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the
establishment of the Indian
Premier
League, a Twenty20 competition to be started in 2008.[7] The teams for the competition,
representing 8 different
cities
of India, including Bangalore, were put up on auction in Mumbai on 20 February 2008. The
Bangalore franchise was
purchased by Vijay Mallya, who paid US$111.6 million for it. This was the second highest bid
for a team, next
only to
Reliance Industries' bid of US$111.9 million for the Mumbai Indians.<br>

The brand value of Royal Challengers Bangalore was estimated to be ₹595 crore (US$75
million) in 2019, according
to a
survey conducted by Duff & Phelps.

The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, also known as the Karnataka State Cricket Association
Stadium,[3] is a cricket
stadium in
the Bangalore city of the Indian state of Karnataka. The ground is owned by Government of
Karnataka and operated
by
Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA).<br>

Flanked by the picturesque Cubbon Park, Queen's Road, Cubbon and uptown MG Road, this
five-decade-old stadium is
situated in the heart of the city of Bangalore. It regularly hosts Test, ODI, T20I and first-class
cricket
matches, as
well as musical, cultural events. The stadium is the home ground of the Karnataka state
cricket team, Karnataka
women's
cricket team and IPL franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore.[5] It is owned by the
Government of Karnataka and
has been
leased out to the KSCA for a period of 100 years.<br>

Formerly known as the Karnataka State Cricket Association Stadium, it was later
rechristened in tribute to
Mangalam
Chinnaswamy, a lawyer from Mandya and the founding member of the Mysore State Cricket
Association.[6] He served
the KSCA
for four decades and was also president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI)
from 1977 to 1980,
latter's
National Cricket Academy also situated in the premises of this stadium.<br>

It is the first cricket stadium in the world to use solar panels to generate a bulk of the
electricity needed to
run the
stadium.[7] The panels were procured through the "Go Green" initiative of the KSCA.[8][9]
In 2016 a water
purification
plant was added,[10] and by January 2017 a system of aeration and drainage was in place to
avoid matches being
curtailed
due to a wet outfield.
