Indian Premier League (IPL) is a Twenty20 cricket tournament where different franchise teams participate for the title. The tournament started in 2008 and from then it usually takes place every year in the months of April - June. It is currently supervised by BCCI Vice-President Ranjib Biswal, who serves as the League's Chairman and Commissioner.[1] Sundar Raman has been the IPL Chief Operating Officer (COO) since its first season, after he was appointed by former IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi in 2008.[2]IPL is the most-watched Twenty20 cricket league in the world and also known for its commercial success. During the sixth IPL season (2013) its brand value was estimated to be around US$3.03 billion.[3][4] Live rights to the event are syndicated around the globe, and in 2010, the IPL became the first sporting event to be broadcast live on YouTube.[5] It is currently sponsored by Pepsi and thus officially known as the Pepsi Indian Premier League.[6]Of the 11 clubs to have competed since the inception of the Premier League in 2008, five have won the title: Chennai Super Kings (2), Rajasthan Royals (1), Deccan Chargers (1), Kolkata Knight Riders (1) and Mumbai Indians (1).

Tournament rulesThere are five ways that a franchise can acquire a player: In the annual auction, signing domestic players, signing uncapped players, through trading, and signing replacements.[20][21] In the trading window, the player can only be traded with his consent. The franchise will have to pay the difference between the old contract price and the new contract price. If the new contract is worth more than the older one, then the difference will be shared between the player and the franchise selling the player.[22][23]Some of the team composition rules are: A minimum squad strength of 16 players plus one physiotherapist and a coach. No more than 11 foreign players in the squad and maximum of four foreign players should be in the playing eleven. A minimum of 14 Indian players must be included in each squad. A minimum of six players from the BCCI under-22 pool in each squad.IPL games utilise television timeouts, hence there is no time limit for teams to complete their innings. However, there may be a penalty if the umpires find teams misusing this privilege at their own choice. Additionally, each team is given a two-and-a-half-minute "strategic timeout" during each innings; one must be taken by the bowling team between the 6th to 10th overs, and the batting team between the 11th to 16th overs.[24]The total spending cap for a franchise in the first player auction was US$5 million. Under-22 players are to be remunerated with a minimum annual salary of US$20,000 while for others it is US$50,000.Teams' performancesMain article: List of Indian Premier League records and statisticsTeam2008200920102011201220132014

Prize moneySeason 7 of Indian Premier League (IPL 2014) will offer a total prize money of Rs. 18 crore. The winning team of IPL gets prize money of Rs. 13 crores. Champions: 10 crores Runner-up: 8 crores Third place: 5 crores Fourth place: 4 crores No prize money for remaining teamsIt must be noted that IPL rules mandate that half of the prize money must be distributed among the players.[26]Ticket sales money/gate receiptsAlmost 80% of the tickets are sold by franchises themselves while other 20% is for IPL governing body.[citation needed] Tickets sales/gate receipts are large proportion of an IPL franchise's yearly revenue.SponsorshipsIndia's biggest property developer DLF Group paid 250 cr (around US$50 million) to be the title sponsor of the tournament for 5 years from 2008 to 2012.[27] From 2013 season, the American food and beverage company PepsiCo took over title sponsorship for five years valued at 3968million, and also exclusive beverage supplier for the IPL teams in the 2013 season.[28][29]The IPL is expected to bring the BCCI an income of approximately US$1.6 billion, over a period of five to ten years. All of these revenues are directed to a central pool, 40% of which will go to IPL itself, 54% to franchises and 6% as prize money. The money will be distributed in these proportions until 2017, after which the share of IPL will be 50%, franchises 45% and prize money 5%. The IPL signed up Kingfisher Airlines as the official umpire partner for the series in a 1.06 billion (US$18million) (approximately 15 million) deal. This deal sees the McDowells No.1 brand on all umpires' uniforms and also on the giant screens during third umpire decisions.[30]Other sponsorships include, a deal with Hero Honda worth $22.5 million, with PepsiCo worth $12.5 million, and a deal with Kingfisher at $26.5 million.[31]Television rightsOn 17 January 2008 it was announced that a consortium consisting of India's Sony Entertainment Television(Set Max) network and Singapore-based World Sport Group secured the global broadcasting rights of the Indian Premier League.[32] The record 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 broadcast rights and US$108 million for the promotion of the tournament.[33] This deal was challenged in the Bombay High Court by IPL, and got the ruling on its side.After losing the battle in court, Sony Entertainment Television signed a new contract with BCCI with Sony Entertainment Television paying 87 billion (US$1.5billion) for 10 years. One of the reasons for payment of this huge amount is seen as the money required to subsidise IPL's move to South Africa which will be substantially more than the previous IPL. IPL had agreed to subsidise the difference in operating cost between India and South Africa as it decided to move to the African nation after the security concerns raised because of its coincidence with India's general elections.20% of these proceeds would go to IPL, 8% as prize money and 72% would be distributed to the franchisees. The money would be distributed in these proportions until 2012, after which the IPL would go public and list its shares (But in March 2010, IPL decided not to go public).[34]Sony-WSG then re-sold parts of the broadcasting rights geographically to other companies. It is officially broadcast on Set Max, Set Six and in internet on Times internet.On 4 March 2010 ITV announced it had secured the United Kingdom television rights for the 2010 Indian Premier League. ITV will televise 59 of the 60 IPL matches on its ITV4 free to air channel.[35]On 1 April 2011, Rogers Media announced that he signed a four-year exclusive deal in Canada to broadcast 36 group stage matches, 3 playoff matches and 1 championship match on its channel Sportsnet One.[36] In the 2012 season, its coverage includes a weekly highlight show and four matches on its Omni Television multicultural stations, and the IPL Final was broadcast on the main Sportsnet regional channels.[37]Winning BidderRegional Broadcast RightsTerms of Deal

Revenue and profitsThe UK-based brand consultancy, Brand Finance, has valued the IPL at $4.13 billion in 2010.[45] It was valued at US$2.01 billion in 2009 by the same consultancy.[46]There are disputed figures for the profitability of the teams. One analyst said that four teams out of the eight made a profit in 2009.[47] While The Times said that all but Kings XI Punjab made a profit.[48]In 2010, the IPL expects to have 80 official merchandising deals. It has signed a deal with Swiss watchmaker Bandelier to make official watches for the IPL.[49]Mobile applicationsDCI Mobile Studios (A division of Dot Com Infoway Limited), in conjunction with Sigma Ventures of Singapore, have jointly acquired the rights to be the exclusive Mobile Application partner and rights holder for the Indian Premier League cricket matches worldwide for the next 8 years (including the 2017 season). Recently[when?], they have released the IPL T20 Mobile applications for iPhone, Nokia Smartphones and BlackBerry devices. It is available across all other major Mobile platforms including the Android, Windows Mobile, Palm & others.[50]Official websiteThe IPL negotiated a contract with the Canadian company Live Current Media Inc. to run and operate its portals and the minimum guarantee has been negotiated at US$50 million over the next 10 years.[51] In 2010, the contract was nullified and the BCCI decided to run the IPL Digital properties in-house. The official website of the tournament is www.iplt20.com. Incorporating popular forms of social media, the website now contains a more holistic presence across all online mediums to empower user interaction.Global interestThe third season of the IPL saw interest rise dramatically in the United Kingdom, due to telecasts being moved from the subscription-based Setanta Sports to the free-to-air ITV4. Lalit Modi, then chairman and Commissioner, also expressed immense satisfaction on the way IPL has been accepted by the British audience. "ITV beats Sky Sports over the weekend in number of viewers. This is great going. The ITV numbers are double that of rugby league. This is huge by all imaginations. UK figures for viewership on ITV already 10 times that of last year. This is just fantastic news," he said.[52]Fantasy CricketA number of portals piggyback on the immense popularity of the Indian Premier League and offer users an opportunity to play fantasy cricket leagues specially designed for the IPL. Fantasy Cricket is a game which allows users to make a virtual team and then allots points to them based on how their chosen players perform in the actual matches. There are some basic rules that need to be followed while creating a virtual team. It is hugely popular in India and among Indians living abroad during the eight weeks of the Indian Premier League. It can be played on official website of IPL.ControversiesMain article: Controversies involving the Indian Premier LeagueHowever, the League has been the subject of controversies where allegations of cricket betting, money laundering, termination of franchises and spot fixing were witnessed.[53][54] The IPL franchise has a number of issues regarding the viability of the business model, sponsorship fees, reduction in the brand value, fees paid to players and other issues that threaten the game.[55]See also Premier League Indian Cricket League Players in Indian Premier League Champions League Twenty20 Indian Super League Indian Badminton League Bangladesh Premier League India portal Cricket portal Indian Premier League portal
