Indian Premier League

The Indian Premier League, or IPL, is an annual franchise-based Twenty20 cricket competition held since 2008. It is normally held every year in the months of April and May, though it started in March in 2010 and 2019. Currently eight teams based in various Indian cities compete for the title; the most successful are Mumbai Indians, with four titles, and Chennai Super Kings, with three.

The IPL has grown to be one of the most valuable sporting tournaments in the world, and it is especially important for its Indian TV broadcasters Sony Pictures Networks India (2008–2017) and Star TV (2018–2022).
