IPL

The 2014 season of the Indian Premier League, abbreviated as IPL 7 or Pepsi IPL 2014, is the seventh season of the IPL. The Mumbai Indians are the defending champions, having won the 2013 season. There will be eight teams this season, one fewer than in 2013 after the withdrawal of the Pune Warriors India.

A part of this season will be held outside India after Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde denied the provision of security the league demanded as it would clash with the 2014 general election. The tournament will be jointly hosted by India and the United Arab Emirates. The opening 20 matches will be held in the UAE at three different stadiums in Abu Dhabi, Dubaiand Sharjah with the tournament returning to India on 2 May.

INFORMATION ABOUT IPL

IPL was inaugurated in 2008. During the same period Zee "Indian Cricket League" was operational. It was an enormous success. The annual tournament, played mostly in Indian summer has gone from strength to strength and is largely viewed as being the 'richest' tournament in world cricket.

Until 2012, the Indian Premier League was sponsored by DLF after they paid $50 million for the five-year sponsorship. Pepsi took over the contract for the 2013 IPL after paying close to $72 million for the 5-year contract.[7]In 2008, Sony paid $1 billion for the broadcasting rights over a ten-year period. The IPL is watched across the world and in 2010 made history by becoming the first sporting event to be broadcast live on YouTube.

On 14 February, Sanjay Patel, who is the BCCI secretary, told the media after the IPL governing council meeting: "As far as possible our interest is to hold the IPL in India.

Then, probably, South Africa is the preferred venue at the moment.“

The initial part of the season will be held outside India, to avoid adding to the existing security demands for the 2014 Lok Sabha Elections. South Africa, Bangladesh and UAE were initially shortlisted as alternative venues. 

The BCCI working committee's meeting on 28 February decided that a final decision would be taken once the schedule for the general election was announced as the BCCI wanted to have as many matches as possible hosted in India due to pressure from the sponsors.
