    The Indian Premier League (IPL) is an Indian professional league for men's Twenty20 cricket clubs with double round- robin and playoffs. Without any Twenty20 cricket league system, it is India's primary Twenty20 cricket club competition. Currently contested by eight clubs, it does not operates on a system of promotion and relegation. Only Indian clubs are qualify to play in the Premier League. Seasons run in the Indian summer spanning between April and June, with most games are played in the afternoons. The competition was formed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in 2008 after an altercation between the BCCI and the now-defunct Indian Cricket League.[1] The Premier League is headquartered in Mumbai,Maharashtra,[2][3] and is currently supervised by BCCI Vice-President Ranjib Biswal, who serves as the League's Chairman and Commissioner.[4] The Premier League is the most-watched Twenty20 cricket league in the world. It is generally considered to be the highest- profile showcase in the world for Twenty20 club cricket, the shortest form of professional cricket with just 20overs per innings. IPL is as well known for its commercial success and for the quality of Twenty20 cricket played. During the sixth IPL season (2013) its brand value was estimated to be around US$3.03 billion.[5][6] Live rights to the event are syndicated around the globe, and in 2010, the IPL became the first sporting event to be broadcast live on YouTube.[7] It is currently sponsored by Pepsi and thus officially known as the Pepsi Indian Premier League.[8] Two eligible bids were received, with Pepsi winning over Airtel with a bid of 3968 million.[9]However, the League has been the subject of several controversies where allegations of cricket betting, money laundering and spot fixing were witnessed.[10][11] Of the 11 clubs to have competed since the inception of the Premier League in 2008, five have won the title:Chennai Super Kings (2), Rajasthan Royals (1), Deccan Chargers (1), Kolkata Knight Riders (1) and Mumbai Indians (1).

  • VVS LAXMAN Published on 9.4.18 Spin, Grit and Spirit Emerge Winners
    VVS LAXMAN Published on 9.4.18 Spin, grit and spirit emerge winners against Mumbai Indians What a game to start off Season 11 of the Indian Premier League! There was so much anticipation and hype in the build-up to the opening game that anything less than what we got at the Wankhede Stadium would have been an anti-climax. Chennai Super Kings’ victory over defending champions Mumbai Indians typified what the Twenty20 format in general, and the IPL in particular, stand for. A rookie leg-spinner came out of nowhere and hijacked the attention. Mayank Markande will remember this night for a long time, bowling to such established superstars as Ambati Rayudu and MS Dhoni and even hoodwinking the latter. But it was Dwayne Bravo’s never-say-die spirit and Kedar Jadhav’s grit under great physical discomfort that carried the night for Chennai. On their return after two years, the Super Kings pulled off one of the great coups in IPL history, thanks largely to the brilliance of Bravo whose six-hitting skills were a sight to behold. Also, for the first time, there was so much support for the visiting team in Mumbai, and I put that down entirely to the charismatic presence of MS. We at Sunrisers Hyderabad have never been short of support at our base in Uppal. Our fans have stood by us through thick and thin, and been our unofficial 12th man, energetically driving us forward. We are thankful for their patronage, and as we gear up for our first game against Rajasthan Royals on Monday night, we will do our best to keep them happy and in good spirits.
