ESTABLISHMENT
The Indian Premier League (IPL) is a professional Twenty20 (T20) cricket league in India founded in 2008 by the Board of Control for Cricket in India and Lalit Modi. It features teams in all major Indian cities. It is organized in a round-robin group and knockout format.
FORMAT OF IPL
As a result of the league’s planned expansion to ten clubs (split into two groups of five) in 2011, the format of matches between some teams has been adjusted. They will be limited to a single meeting. To determine who advances to the final, the top four teams compete in three playoff matches.
One losing club is offered a second chance to qualify for the final, a twist intended to maximize potential television income. The playoff phase of the tournament comprises the four teams that placed first, second, and third in their respective leagues in a series of knockout games that give one club that lost its first-round game a second chance to advance to the final match of the tournament.
BROADCASTING IPL

The Indian Premier League (IPL) has grown to become the most lucrative and popular venue for cricket. To maximize the television audience for worldwide broadcasts, matches are often scheduled to begin in the late afternoon or evening. They can play at least a portion of them at night under floodlights.
BIDDING AND AUCTIONS
With the Indian Premier League (IPL) introduction, the world’s finest cricketers, who had previously earned a fraction of the money earned by their colleagues in other professional sports, became millionaires almost overnight.
Large corporations, Bollywood film stars, and media moguls were among the owners of IPL clubs that competed for the top players in auctions arranged by the league. At the start of the IPL, the well-funded Mumbai Indians had the highest payroll in the league, with a payroll of more than $100 million.
A total of $1.5 million went to the Chennai Super Kings to secure the services of Mahendra Dhoni in an initial auction for the 2008 season. A total of $2.4 million was spent by the Kolkata Knight Riders to ensure the benefits of Gautam Gambhir, the opening batsman for the Indian national team, in an auction for the 2011 season.

INITIAL FOUNDING FRANCHISES
The eight original franchises were the Mumbai Indians, the Chennai Super Kings, the Royal Challengers Bangalore, the Deccan Chargers (located in Hyderabad), the Delhi Daredevils, the Punjab XI Kings (Mohali), the Kolkata Knight Riders, and the Rajasthan Royals (Jaipur) (Jaipur).
FIRST TOURNAMENT
The Rajasthan Royals, captained by Shane Warne, the famous Australian bowler, won the first tournament in 2008, which lasted 44 days and took place in four cities in India. Following the success of the IPL, other cricketing countries hurried to capture a piece of the action by establishing their domestic T20 competitions.
BREACHES AND NEW FRANCHISES
The BCCI kicked two teams, Rajasthan and Punjab, out of the league in late 2010 for violating the organization’s ownership regulations. However, the teams were allowed to return in time for the 2011 season.
There are two new teams in the IPL for 2011: the Pune Warriors India and Kochi Tuskers. A year after the BCCI signed its contract with the Kochi club, the BCCI cancelled it. A new IPL team, Sunrisers Hyderabad, took over as the Deccan Chargers were replaced in 2013.
