Indian cities. The league was founded by the Board of Control for Cricket in Ind
ia (BCCI) in 2007.[3] The title sponsor of the IPL in 2016 was Vivo Electronics,
thus the league is officially known as the Vivo Indian Premier League. The curr
ent IPL title holders are Sunrisers Hyderabad.
The IPL is the most-attended cricket league in the world and ranks sixth among a
ll sports leagues.[4] In 2010, the IPL became the first sporting event in the wo

lion) to the GDP of the Indian economy.[8]
According to global valuation and corporate finance advisor Duff & Phelps, the v
alue of brand IPL has jumped to $4.16 billion after the 2016 edition, against $3
.54 billion in 2015. The 19% jump is despite the fact that the US dollar to Indi

History[edit]
Foundation[edit]
In 2007, the Indian Cricket League was founded, with funding provided by Zee Ent
ertainment Enterprises.[10] The ICL was not recognized by the Board of Control f
or Cricket in India (BCCI) or the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the BC
CI were not pleased with its committee members joining the ICL executive board.[
11] To prevent players from joining the ICL, the BCCI increased the prize money
in their own domestic tournaments and also imposed lifetime bans on players join
ing the ICL, which was considered a rebel league by the board.[12] Businessman a
nd cricket executive, Lalit Modi, was tasked by the BCCI to start a new Twenty20
league that would rival the Indian Cricket League. In early 2008, the BCCI anno
unced the launch of the Indian Premier League, a new franchise based T20 league,
which is among the first of its kind in the cricketing world.[13] The league wa
s based on the Premier League of England and the NBA in the United States.[13]
In order to decide the owners for the new league, an auction was held on 24 Janu
ary 2008 with the total base prices of the franchises costing around $400 millio
n.[13] At the end of the auction, the winning bidders were announced, as well as
the cities the teams would be based in: Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, J
aipur, Kolkata, Mohali, and Mumbai.[13] In the end, the franchises were all sold
for a total of $723.59 million.[14] The Indian Cricket League soon folded in 20
08.[15]
Expansions and terminations[edit]
Pune Warriors India a
On 21 March 2010, it was announced that two new franchises
nd Kochi Tuskers Kerala
would join the league before the fourth season in 2011.[
16] Sahara Adventure Sports Group bought the Pune franchise for $370 million whi
le Rendezvous Sports World bought the Kochi franchise for $333.3 million.[16] Ho
wever, one year later, on 11 November 2011, it was announced that the Kochi Tusk
ers Kerala side would be terminated following the side breaching the BCCI's term
s of conditions.[17]
Then, on 14 September 2012, following the team not being able to find new owners
, the BCCI announced that the 2009 champions, the Deccan Chargers, would be term
inated.[18] The next month, on 25 October, an auction was held to see who would
be the owner of the replacement franchise, with Sun TV Network winning the bid f
or the Hyderabad franchise.[19] The team would be named Sunrisers Hyderabad.[20]
On 14 June 2015, it was announced that two-time champions, Chennai Super Kings,
and the inaugural season champions, Rajasthan Royals, would be suspended for two
seasons following their role in a match-fixing and betting scandal.[21] Then, o
n 8 December 2015, following an auction, it was revealed that Pune and Rajkot wo
uld replace Chennai and Rajasthan for two seasons.[22] The teams are the Rising
Pune Supergiants and the Gujarat Lions.
Tournament format[edit]
Currently, with eight teams, each team plays each other twice in a home-and-away
round-robin format in the league phase.[23] At the conclusion of the league sta
ge, the top four teams will qualify for the Playoffs. The top two teams from the
league phase will play against each other in the first Qualifying match, with t
he winner going straight to the IPL final and the loser getting another chance t
o qualify for the IPL final by playing the second Qualifying match. Meanwhile, t
he third and fourth place teams from league phase play against each other in an
eliminator match and the winner from that match will play the loser from the fir
st Qualifying match.[23] The winner of the second Qualifying match will move ont
o the final to play the winner of the first Qualifying match in the IPL Final ma
tch, where the winner will be crowned the Indian Premier League champions.[23]

Tournament seasons and results[edit]
Main articles: List of Indian Premier League seasons and results and List of Ind
ian Premier League records and statistics
Out of the thirteen teams those have played in the Indian Premier League since i
ts inception, three teams have won the competition twice each and three other te
ams have won it once each. The Chennai Super Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders, and M
umbai Indians are the most successful teams in league's history in terms of the
number of titles won. The other three teams who have won the tournament are the
Deccan Chargers, Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad. The Chennai Super Kin
gs is the only team to have won the tournament and then defended it the next sea
son, winning in 2010 and winning again in 2011. Also the Chennai Super Kings has
the better win-loss ratio among all the teams and have qualified to semifinals/
Play-offs in every season the team participated.
The current champions are Sunrisers Hyderabad who beat Royal Challengers Bangalo
re in the final of the 2016 season at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium to secure their mai
den title.
Tournament and salary rules[edit]
A team can acquire players through five ways: The annual auction, signing domest
ic players, signing uncapped players, trading players, and signing replacements.
[24][25] In the trading window, a player can only be traded with his consent, wi
th the franchise paying the difference if any between the old and new contract.
If the new contract is worth more than the older one, the difference is shared b
etween the player and the franchise selling the player.[26]

Some of the team composition rules are as follows:

A minimum squad strength of 16 players, one physiotherapist and a coach.
No more than 10 foreign players on the squad and a maximum of 4 foreign players
in the playing XI.
A minimum of 14 Indian players must be included in each squad.
A minimum of 6 players from the BCCI under-22 pool must be included in each squa
d.
IPL games utilise television timeouts and hence there is no time limit in which
teams must complete their innings. However, a penalty may be imposed if the umpi
res find teams misusing this privilege. Each team is given a two-and-a-half-minu
te "strategic timeout" during each innings; one must be taken by the bowling tea
m between the 6th and 10th overs, and one by the batting team between the 11th a
nd 16th overs.[27]
Salary cap[edit]
The total spending cap for a franchise in the first player auction was US$5 mill
ion. Under-22 players are to be remunerated with a minimum annual salary of US$2
0,000, whereas for others the minimum was US$50,000.[28]
Prize money[edit]
The 2015 season of the IPL offered a total prize money of ?40 crore (US$5.9 mill
ion), with the winning team netting ?15 crore (US$2.2 million).[29] The first an
d second runners up received 10 and 7.5 crores, respectively, with the fourth pl
aced team also winning 7.5 crores. The others teams are not awarded any prize mo
ney. The IPL rules mandate that half of the prize money must be distributed amon
g the players.[30]
Individual awards[edit]
Orange Cap[edit]
Main article: Orange Cap
The Orange Cap is awarded for the top run-scorer in the IPL during a season. It
is an ongoing competition with the leader wearing the cap throughout the tournam
ent until the final game, with the eventual winner keeping the cap for the seaso
n.[31]
Purple Cap[edit]
Main article: Purple Cap
The Purple Cap is awarded for the top wicket-taker in the IPL. It is an ongoing
competition with the leader wearing the cap throughout the tournament until the
final game, with the eventual winner keeping the cap for the season.[32]
Television[edit]
On 17 January 2008 it was announced that a consortium consisting of India's Sony
Entertainment Television (Set Max) network and Singapore-based World Sport Grou
p secured the global broadcasting rights of the Indian Premier League.[33] The r
ecord deal has a duration of ten years at a cost of US$1.026 billion. As part of
the deal, the consortium will pay the BCCI US$918 million for the television br
oadcast rights and US$108 million for the promotion of the tournament.[34] The i
nitial plan was for 20% of these proceeds would go to IPL, 8% as prize money and
72% would be distributed to the franchisees from 2008 until 2012, after which t
he IPL would go public and list its shares.[35] However, in March 2010, IPL deci
ded not to go public and list its shares. Sony-WSG then re-sold parts of the bro
adcasting rights geographically to other companies. Sony Pictures Networks India
(SPN) has raked in Rs 1,200 crore as advertising revenue from the ninth edition
of the tournament, a growth of twenty percent from last year. The broadcaster h
ad mopped up Rs. 1,000 crore as advertising revenue in IPL 2015.[36] [37]
