Indian Premier League

The Indian Premier League (IPL) is a professional Twenty20 cricket league in India organised by the Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI). Founded in 2007, the league features ten state or city-based franchise teams. The IPL is the most popular and richest cricket league in the world and is held between March and May. It has an exclusive window in the ICC Future Tours Programme, resulting in fewer international cricket tours occurring during the IPL seasons. It is also India's most viewed sports competition followed by the Pro Kabaddi League and Indian Super League, as per BARC.
