IPL was conceptualized as a response to the growing popularity of T20 cricket. The inaugural season in 2008 saw Rajasthan Royals clinching the title in a thrilling final. Over the years, the tournament has evolved, expanding its reach with new teams, innovative formats, and technological advancements such as the Decision Review System (DRS) and LED stumps.
The IPL follows a franchise-based system, with teams representing different cities in India. The tournament consists of a round-robin group stage followed by playoffs, culminating in a grand final. Each team is built through an auction process, where franchises bid for players, creating a mix of international stars and local talents.
Currently, the IPL features ten teams, including popular franchises like Mumbai Indians (MI), Chennai Super Kings (CSK), and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Legendary players such as MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and international stars like AB de Villiers and Chris Gayle have graced the tournament, adding to its prestige.
