What is the IPL?
The Indian Premier League is the world's biggest T20 cricket league. Launched by the BCCI in 2008, it brings together ten city-based franchises, the best Indian talent and the biggest international stars for two months of high-intensity cricket every summer.
Every season runs to a tight format: a double round-robin league stage followed by a four-match playoff. With packed stadiums, record broadcast audiences and last-ball finishes, the IPL has become the most-watched cricket property on the planet.
