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).[3] Founded in 2007, the league features ten
state or city-based franchise teams.[4] 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.[5] It is also India's most viewed sports competition followed by the Pro Kabaddi
League and Indian Super League, as per BARC.[6][7]

In 2014, it ranked sixth in attendance among all sports leagues.[8] In 2010, the IPL became the
first sporting event to be broadcast live on YouTube.[9][10] Inspired by the success of the IPL,
other Indian sports leagues have been established.[a][13][14] In 2022, the league's brand value
was estimated at ₹90,038 crore (US$11 billion).[15] According to the BCCI, the 2015 IPL season
contributed ₹1,150 crore (US$140 million) to India's GDP.[16] In December 2022, the IPL
achieved a valuation of US$10.9 billion, becoming a decacorn and registering a 75% growth in
dollar terms since 2020 when it was valued at $6.2 billion, according to a report by the
consulting firm D and P Advisory.[17] Its 2023 final became the most streamed live event on
the internet, with 32 million viewers.[18]

In 2023, the league sold its media rights for the next 4 seasons for US$6.4 billion to Viacom18
and Star Sports,[19] meaning each IPL match was valued at $13.4 million.[20] As of 2024, there
have been seventeen seasons of the tournament. The current champions are the Kolkata
Knight Riders, who won the 2024 season after defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad in the final.[21]

History

Inspired by a rival
In 2007, Zee Entertainment Enterprises founded the Indian Cricket League (ICL).[22] The ICL
was not recognized by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) or the International
Cricket Council (ICC). Moreover, the BCCI was unhappy about its committee members joining
the ICL executive board.[23] In response, the BCCI increased the prize money for its domestic
tournaments and imposed lifetime bans on players who joined the rival league, which it
considered a rebel league.[24][25]
Foundation Indian Premier League
On 13 September 2007,[26] at the start of the
2007 ICC World Twenty20, the BCCI
announced a franchise based Twenty20
cricket competition known as the Indian
Premier League. The inaugural season was
scheduled to start in April 2008, commencing

In June 2015, the two-time champions Chennai Super

Kings and the inaugural season champions Rajasthan Royals were suspended for two
seasons following their involvement in a spot-fixing and betting scandal.[39] The two teams
were replaced for two seasons by franchises based in Pune and Rajkot.[40][41]

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the venue for the 2020 season was moved and games were
played in the United Arab Emirates.[42][43] In August 2021, the BCCI announced that two new
franchises, based in two of six shortlisted cities, would join the league in the 2022
season.[44][45] In closed bidding held in October, the RPSG Group and CVC Capital won the
bids for the teams, paying ₹7,000 crore (US$800 million) and ₹5,200 crore (US$600 million),
respectively.[46][47] The teams were subsequently named Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat
Titans.

Several IPL franchise owners have expanded their business by acquiring teams in other
franchise leagues, such as the Caribbean Premier League (CPL), South Africa's SA20, the
UAE's International League T20 (ILT) and the USA's Major League Cricket (MLC).

In addition to these acquisitions, Delhi Capitals also bought a stake in MLC's Seattle Orcas.[48]

In 2025, stakes in teams from The Hundred became available. RPSG Group (owners of the
Super Giants) bought a 70% stake in Manchester Originals for around £81m, while Mumbai
Indians bought at 49% stake in the Oval Invincibles for £60m.[49] Yorkshire sold 100% of
Northern Superchargers to Sun Group (Sunrisers Hyderabad) for £100m.[50] The GMR Group
(Delhi Capitals) had already acquired Hampshire in a 2024 deal, including the club's 51%
stake in the Southern Brave[51] and bought the remaining 49% for around £48m.[52]

Organization

The IPL's headquarters are located in the Cricket Centre, next to the Wankhede Stadium in
Churchgate, Mumbai. The Governing Council is responsible for the league's functions,
including the organization of tournaments. As of April 2024, its members included:[53]

Arun Singh Dhumal – Chairman[54][55]

Jay Shah – Honorary Secretary BCCI, Member

Ashish Shelar – Honorary Treasurer BCCI, Member

Avishek Dalmiya – Member

Vankina Chamundeswara Nath – Indian Cricketers' Association's representative, Member

CM Sane – Comptroller and Auditor General of India Nominee, Member

Player acquisition, squad composition, and salaries

A team can acquire players through the annual player auction, trading with other teams during
trading windows, and signing replacements for unavailable players. Players sign up for the
auction[56] and set their base price and are bought by the highest-bidding franchise. Unsold
players at the auction can become replacement signings. Trades require player consent, and
any contract differences are covered by the franchise. There are typically three trading
windows: two before the auction and one before the tournament. No trading is allowed
outside these windows or during the tournament, but replacements can be signed before or
during the event.

Other notable rules, as of the 2024 season, include:

The salary cap of the entire squad have been allotted a purse of ₹120 crore each.[57]

Under-19 players cannot be picked unless they have previously played first-class or List A
cricket.[58]

Player contracts run for one year but can be extended by one or two years if the franchises
take up the option. Since the 2014 season, player contracts have been denominated in the
Indian rupee, before which the contracts were in the US dollar. Overseas players can be
remunerated in the currency of the player's choice, at the exchange rate on either the
contract due date or the actual payment date.[59] Before the 2014 season, Indian domestic
players were not included in the player auction pool. They could be signed up by franchises at
a discrete amount while a fixed sum of ₹10 lakh (US$11,000) to ₹30 lakh (US$34,000) would
be deducted per signing from the franchise's salary purse. This received significant opposition
from franchise owners, who complained richer franchises were "luring players with under-
the-table deals." The IPL later decided to include domestic players in the player auction.[60]

The BCCI give 10% of foreign players' salaries to their country's national cricket board.[61]

Pat Cummins Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) Rs 20.50 Crore

Daryl Mitchell Chennai Super Kings (CSK) Rs 14 Crore

Harshal Patel Punjab Kings (PBKS) Rs 11.75 Crore

Alzarri Joseph Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) Rs 11.50 Crore

Spencer Johnson Gujarat Titans (GT) Rs 10 Crore

Rilee Rossouw Punjab Kings (PBKS) Rs 8 Crore

Rovman Powell Rajasthan Royals (RR) Rs 7.40 Crore

Shahrukh Khan Gujarat Titans (GT) Rs 7.40 Crore

Total Rs 123.7 Crore

Average Salary Rs 12.37 Crore
Based on a 2024 report by Forbes India, the average IPL salary among the top 10 highest-
paid players is ₹12.37 crore,[62] the second-highest of sports leagues in the world. Because
players in the IPL are contracted only for the duration of the tournament – less than two
months – the weekly IPL salaries are extrapolated pro data to obtain an average annual
salary, unlike other sports leagues in which players are contracted by a single team for the
entire year.[63]

According to a report by The Telegraph, IPL players are paid 18% of the revenue, which is the
lowest amount compared to other major sports leagues, in which players receive at least 50%
of the revenue. The Federation of International Cricketers' Associations said that IPL players
must be paid fairly.[64][65][66]

Prize money
The 2022 season of the IPL offered total prize money of ₹46.5 crore (equivalent to ₹49 crore
or US$5.6 million in 2023), with the winning team netting ₹20 crore (equivalent to ₹21 crore or
US$2.4 million in 2023) and the second-placed team ₹13 crore (equivalent to ₹14 crore or
US$1.6 million in 2023).[67][68] League rules mandate that half of any prize money must be
distributed amongst the franchise's players.[69]

Unique rules and variations

The IPL has several rules which vary from the established laws of cricket or those used in
other Twenty20 leagues:

IPL games incorporate television timeouts. Each team is given a two-and-a-half-minute

"strategic time-out" during each innings. One must be taken by the bowling team at the end
of either 6th, 7th, 8th or 9th over and the other by the batting team at the end of either 13th,
14th, 15th or 16th over. A penalty may be imposed if umpires find teams misusing this
privilege.[70]

Since the 2018 season, the Decision Review System (DRS) has been used in all IPL
matches, allowing each team two opportunities in each innings to review an on-field
umpire's decision.[71] From the 2023 season, this was extended to allow the review of wides
and no-balls.[72]

If the bowling team does not complete its overs in the allocated time, it may place only four
fielders outside of the fielding restrictions circle for the remainder of the innings,[72] or the
match referee may impose financial sanctions on the bowling team after the match, with
players fined a proportion of their match fee.[73]

Teams can use a substitute, termed an "impact player", from a list of five players named as
possible substitutes. The substitution can be made before the start of the innings, when a
wicket falls, when a batter retires or at the end of an over. Both teams can introduce a
substitute once per match.[74][75]

Teams can declare their playing eleven to the match referee before or after the toss.[74]

A five-run penalty is imposed if a fielder or wicket-keeper makes an unfair movement while

the bowler is bowling and the ball is designated as dead ball.[76][72][74]

Teams can include a maximum of four overseas players in their playing eleven. If a team
wants an overseas player as impact player, then it must include a maximum of three
overseas players in their playing eleven.[75]

Teams must include 25 players, with a maximum of eight overseas players.[77]

 From the 2024 season, bowlers will be allowed to deliver two bouncers an over. This
change in playing conditions was trialled during the 2023–24 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy,
India's domestic T20 tournament.[78]

Awards

Orange Cap
The Orange Cap is awarded to the highest run-scorer at the end of each season. It is an
ongoing competition with the current highest-run scorer wearing the cap whilst fielding. The
eventual winner keeps the cap for the season. Brendon McCullum was the first player to wear
the Orange Cap and Shaun Marsh the inaugural winner of the award. Australian batsman
David Warner has won the award three times, more than any other player.[84] Virat Kohli of
Royal Challengers Bengaluru, who scored 741 runs during the 2024 season, is the most recent
winner of the award.[85][86]

Purple Cap
The Purple Cap is awarded to the highest wicket-taker at the end of each season. It is an
ongoing competition and the bowler who is the leading wicket-taker wears a purple cap
whilst fielding. The eventual winner keeps the cap for the season. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and
Dwayne Bravo are the only players to have won the award twice.[87][88] Harshal Patel of
Punjab Kings who took 24 wickets during the 2024 season, is the most recent winner of the
award.
Most Valuable Player
The Most Valuable Player award, formerly called the "Man of the Tournament" until the 2012
season, is awarded using a ratings system introduced in 2013. Sunil Narine won the award in
2024.

Fair Play Award

The Fair Play Award is given after each season to the team considered to have the best fair
play record. After each match, the two on-field umpires and the third umpire score the
performance of both teams, with the highest-scoring team at the end of the season receiving
the award.[89] The 2024 winners were Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Emerging Player Award

The Emerging Player Award was presented to the best under-19 player in 2008 and the best
under-23 player in 2009 and 2010. In 2011 and 2012, the award was known as "Rising Star of
the Year," and in 2013 the "Best Young Player of the Season." Since 2014, the award has been
called the Emerging Player of the Year. Mustafizur Rahman is the only foreign player to win
this award.[90] The 2024 winner was Nitish Kumar Reddy.

Maximum Sixes Award

The Maximum Sixes Award is presented to the player who hits the most sixes at the end of
the season.[91]

Finances

Title sponsorship
From 2008 to 2012, the IPL title sponsor was DLF, India's largest real estate developer, which
bid ₹200 crore (US$23 million) for the rights for five seasons.[94] After the 2012 season,
PepsiCo bought the title sponsorship rights for ₹397 crore (US$45 million) for the next five
seasons[95] but terminated the deal in October 2015, two years before the expiry of the
contract, due to the two-season suspension of the Chennai and Rajasthan franchises from
the league.[96] The BCCI transferred the Title sponsorship fees [92]

title sponsorship rights for the remaining Sponsor Period Estimated annual sponsorship fee

[98][99] Tata
(US$250 million). On 4 August 2024–2028 ₹500 crore (US$57.2 million)[93]
2020, Vivo canceled the title
sponsorship rights due to the military stand-off between India and China at the Line of Actual
Control in July 2020.[100] The withdrawal was also a result of Vivo's market losses due to the
ongoing COVID-19 pandemic; Vivo intended to return as the title sponsor for the following
three years.[101] Dream11 became the title sponsors for the 2020 IPL for an amount of
₹222 crore (equivalent to ₹261 crore or US$30 million in 2023).[102] Vivo returned as the title
sponsor for the 2021 IPL season[103] but withdrew again, and was replaced by the Tata Group
for the next two seasons.[104] InsideSport reported the BCCI would receive ₹498 crore
(US$57 million) for the 2022 and 2023 seasons from title sponsors. Vivo had previously
agreed to pay a higher amount for the last two seasons of its sponsorship contract due to the
league's expansion from the 2022 season. According to InsideSport, due to the new deal's
structure, Tata would pay ₹335 crore (US$38 million) per year while Vivo would pay the deficit
of ₹163 crore (US$19 million) per season.[105][106]

Saudi Aramco brought the rights to advertise on the Purple and Orange caps in 2022.[107]

Payments to foreign national boards

The BCCI pays ten per cent of the auctioned value of players to their national cricket boards.
In January 2018, IPL chairman Rajiv Shukla said the IPL would double the amount paid to
cricket boards that made their players available for an entire season.[108] In 2022, Australian
Cricketers' Association expressed its unhappiness about this.[61]
Brand value

Crowd during a match of the 2023

IPL season in Kolkata

The IPL tournament rapidly grew in value between 2016 and 2018. Financial experts valued
the IPL at US$4.16 billion in 2016; that number grew to $5.3 billion in 2017 and $6.13 billion in
2018. A report from Duff & Phelps said one of the contributing factors in the rapid growth of
the IPL's value was a new television deal with Star India Private Limited, which engaged more
viewers because the IPL was transmitted to regional channels in eight languages; under the
previous deal, the transmissions were limited to sports networks with English-language
commentary.[109][110]

In December 2022, the IPL became a decacorn valued at US$10.9 billion, registering a 75%
growth in dollar terms since 2020 when it was valued at $6.2 billion, according to a report by
consulting firm D & P Advisory.[17]

In 2022, the BCCI took insurance of ₹5,000 crore (US$570 million) for the IPL. This insurance
policy involves all stakeholders, including broadcasters, ancillary services providers, and
sponsors. The BCCI is covered in the case of any revenue losses due to weather, riots, and
other unforeseen events.[115]

Broadcasting

2023–2027: Star Sports and JioCinema

The next cycle of IPL media rights will last from 2023 to 2027 and will be put to auction.[116] In
this auction, the broadcasting rights were divided into four packages. Package A was for
domestic television rights, and Package B was for domestic digital rights. Package C was for
the digital rights of eighteen non-exclusive matches, and Package D was for international
television and digital rights, further divided into four groups. On 13 June 2022, it was reported
the packages for domestic television and streaming rights had fetched at least ₹397.75 billion
(nearly US$5.1 billion) in total, doubling the value of the 2018–2022 contract.[116]

The next day, it was announced that Star Sports had renewed its contract for television rights
by winning package A, and that a Viacom18 consortium had exclusively acquired the
streaming rights by winning both Package B and C.[117] The two contracts for Package A and
B are cumulatively valued at around US$6.2 billion; with the new contracts, the IPL overtook
the Premier League in English football as the second highest-valued sports media property
worldwide, behind only the NFL, whose new media contracts taking effect in the 2023 season
cumulatively fetched US$111 billion.[118][119][120][121]

In February 2023, Viacom18 announced it would stream the 2023 IPL for free on JioCinema
with feeds in 12 languages, including English and regional languages, and in 4K
resolution.[122][123][124] The same month, The Walt Disney Company reported its loss of the IPL
had contributed to a net loss of 2.4 million Disney+ subscribers worldwide, primarily in
India.[125][126]

Ahead of the 2023 IPL, Star launched HD feeds of Star Sports 1 in Tamil and Telugu and
announced its free-to-air channel Star Utsav Movies would carry twelve matches. It was
anticipated that viewership of Star Sports' broadcasts may not be heavily impacted by the Jio
deal due to its existing market reach (including as rights holder of India's home matches) and
viewers who preferred linear television due to being less familiar with over-the-top services,
or concerns over technical issues associated with such services. JioCinema reported the IPL
had 1.4 billion views on the service over the opening weekend, which was higher than the
entirety of the 2022 season on Disney+ Hotstar.[127][128] The 2023 final set a record for the
most concurrent viewers of a livestreamed event, peaking at over 32 million viewers
(surpassing a record of 25.3 million set by Hotstar during the 2019 Cricket World Cup).[129][130]

Controversies

IPL spot-fixing and betting

In the 2012 IPL spot-fixing case, the BCCI gave a lifetime ban to Deccan Chargers player TP
Sudhindra and suspended four other players.[132] In a sting operation, Pune Warriors India
player Mohnish Mishra was recorded stating that IPL franchise owners pay their players
through black money. Mishra later apologized for his incorrect statement.[133][134] On 20 May
2012, police detained Rahul Sharma and Wayne Parnell when they were caught during a raid
at a rave party in a suburb of Mumbai; both the players denied taking drugs or drinking
alcohol.[135] However, it was later proven that in reality, they had taken banned drugs after
police tested their urine and blood samples in a lab.[136]

In the 2013 IPL spot-fixing and betting case, Delhi police arrested players Ajit Chandila,
Ankeet Chavan and S. Sreesanth on allegations of spot-fixing; they received a lifetime ban
from the BCCI. The police also arrested Gurunath Meiyappan, Chennai Super Kings' team
principal and son-in-law of then BCCI president N. Srinivasan, for illegally betting on IPL
matches and passing team information to bookmakers.[137][138]

The Lodha Committee, appointed by the Supreme Court of India, banned Rajasthan Royals
(RR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for two years. CSK's team principal, Gurunath
Meiyappan, was found guilty of betting and bringing the IPL and the game into disrepute.
After this, the BCCI banned Meiyappan from involving in the game. Justice RM Lodha said
that due to all this fixing-betting matter, the reputation of the game had been hurt quite
grievously. "Disrepute has been brought to cricket, the BCCI and the IPL to such an extent that
there are doubts abound in the public whether the game is clean or not," Justice Lodha said.
He further elaborated on his committee's observations and said it had been proven beyond
doubt that Meiyappan, CSK's team principal, was heavily involved in betting on his team.[139]

Strategic timeouts
In its 3rd season in 2010, the IPL administration brought a new rule: "strategic timeout" of
seven minutes and fifty seconds duration in each inning. Franchises and Sachin Tendulkar
disapproved of it. Many saw it as the BCCI's use of 'extended drinks break' to earn money; it
faced widespread backlash.[140][141] Then-IPL president said that the rule is intended to allow
teams to make strategies during the game. Still, critics disagreed with this argument and said
that the strategic timeout is a way to generate money. Later, the BCCI reduced its duration but
still applied it.[141]

These timeouts boost the IPL's revenue; every 10-second slot gets sold for ₹5 lakhs or
more.[140] Due to these timeouts, an IPL match halts four times for more than 10 minutes. As
per Sunil Gavaskar, along with many other reasons, strategic timeouts delay the IPL matches,
causing them to not end at the stipulated time of 3 hours and 10 minutes but rather after 4
hours.[142] During the Super Giants versus Mumbai Indians eliminator game in 2023, he
uttered on-air, "How many times batsmen get out after a strategic timeout," indicating that it
plays a negative role in immediate fall of wickets by disrupting concentration of the
batters.[143]

Some cricketers have criticized strategic timeouts for interrupting the flow of play. In the past,
it even faced Public Interest Litigation (PIL) with the possibility that ST breaks were being used
by bookies to connect with players. In the past, IPL's stakeholders admitted that STs are
unavoidable because they provide the BCCI and broadcasters with additional time for more
ads. In 2013, after a spot-fixing matter, then-president N. Srinivasan got sacked due to a
pending inquiry, and Jagmohan Dalmia got appointed as interim president. Dalmia expressed
openly that he wants to end STs and take other measures to restrain malpractices in the
IPL.[140]

Incidents with players

In the 2008 edition, after a game, Harbhajan Singh, who was playing for Mumbai Indians,
slapped S. Sreesanth. The IPL fined and banned him from the remaining entire edition.
However, years later, he apologized to Sreesanth for it on TV and said that he was ashamed
for doing it.[144][145]

In a 2022 interview, Yuzvendra Chahal revealed two incidents of physical harassment that
happened with him while he was with Mumbai Indians. In 2013, at a party of the team in a
building, a drunken teammate took him to the balcony, overpowered him and hung him from
the 15th floor of the building. Yuzvendra said he narrowly survived that day.[146][147][148] In
another incident, two teammates, including Andrew Symonds, tied him up, gagged his mouth
and threw him into a hotel room. He remained alone in that room the entire night. When the
hotel room service arrived in the morning, they untied his hands and legs.[149] He did not
reveal the names of the offenders involved in the first incident. Reacting to these revelations,
Virender Sehwag expressed that he wanted Yuzvendra to reveal the offender's name, and
furious Ravi Shastri expressed that the offender should be banned.[147][148]

In 2010, the BCCI banned Ravindra Jadeja from the IPL for one year after he violated the IPL
guidelines by not signing a renewal contract with his team Rajasthan Royals, and instead
negotiated a more lucrative contract with other teams through the back door.[150]

Rajasthan Royals ownership dispute

In April 2010, the BCCI president Shashank Manohar said in a press conference that the IPL
governing council didn't know who the owners of Rajasthan Royals (RR) and the Punjab team
are. The initial bid for RR was made by a person named Manoj Bhandale. After that, other
firms from Mauritius were added as shareholders. In response, Shilpa Shetty tweeted that she
was a proprietor of RR. Regarding the Punjab team, Manohar revealed that in the team
bidding event, only Preity Zinta was interested in buying that team. She said that she would
form a firm. She did it and signed a bid agreement with the BCCI. However, Preity did not
have a single share in her name in that firm. Manohar alleged that Shetty and Zinta violated
the agreement as prior permission of the BCCI is mandatory before transferring ownership
shares with other people.[151]

N. Srinivasan's ownership of CSK

In 2010, an e-mail leaked in Indian media, according to an Economic Times article, said that
former IPL president Lalit Modi helped then-BCCI president N. Srinivasan to buy Andrew
Flintoff in the auction for his team Chennai Super Kings (CSK).[152] Srinivasan was criticized
for owning an IPL team due to his conflict of interests. Former BCCI president A. Muthiah filed
a lawsuit against Srinivasan in the Supreme Court of India; he claimed that Srinivasan altered
the BCCI's rules to allow himself to purchase a team. The Lodha Committee banned CSK from
the IPL for two years when their team principal, Gurunath Meiyappan, was found guilty of
betting and providing inside information to bookies.[153] The supreme court criticized
Srinivasan for buying an IPL team while serving as the BCCI president; a judge commented,
"How can a BCCI chief own a team?"[154] However, he still owns the team and his daughter
Rupa Gurunath often appears in stadiums during CSK's games.
Australian players' dispute with their board
Due to the BCCI giving one-tenth of foreign players' salaries to their respective countries'
national cricket boards, a dispute between Australian cricketers and Cricket Australia started.
The Australian Cricketers' Association also opposed the arrangement.[61]

Shashi Tharoor and Sunanda Pushkar's sweat equity in RSW

In 2010, the IPL president revealed that Sunanda Pushkar, wife of the Minister of State for
External Affairs Shashi Tharoor, had sweat equity shares in Rendezvous Sports World (RSW),
the proprietor of Kochi Tuskers Kerala. The opposition party BJP agitated against the Indian
National Congress. Later, it was revealed that Pushkar had equity worth ₹70 crore in RSW.
Tharoor offered to leave his equity, but many within the Congress party felt that by doing this,
Tharoor pleaded guilty. Due to pressure, the Congress party demanded his resignation. He
was the first minister of the United Progressive Alliance 2 who got slammed for his illegal
moves.[155]

Slow over rates

Field umpires sometimes penalize teams by restricting them to having only four fielders
outside the 30-yard area, or match referees penalize captains and team members by
reducing their match fees, but these measures have not solved the problem. Games often run
at a slow speed and finish late. During the 2024 season, Rishabh Pant, captain of Delhi
Capitals, and Shubman Gill of Gujarat Titans were fined ₹12 lakhs each for their teams' slow
over rates during matches against Chennai Super Kings.[156] Millions of viewers feel that IPL
matches should be fast-paced.[157]

Negative impact on international cricket

Former India captain Kapil Dev claimed that there was an increasing risk of injury to Indian
players from playing in the IPL. He felt that some players avoided the national team's matches
but appeared in all of their IPL fixtures.[158]
Exclusion of Pakistani and Bangladeshi players
Following the November 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai by Pakistan-based terrorist group
Lashkar-e-Taiba, geopolitical tensions surged between India and Pakistan. The aftermath of
the attack led to the unofficial exclusion of Pakistani players from playing in the IPL, as none
of them were picked by any team during the 2009 IPL auction.[159] While they had been
selected by several teams for the inaugural IPL season (2008), their contracts were
terminated before the 2009 edition. This situation endured "due to political tensions".[160]
Among the critics of the BCCI and IPL owners was retired cricketer and former Pakistan Prime
Minister Imran Khan, who stated that they "take it out on Pakistan players". He accused the
BCCI of "arrogance" but also stated that "Pakistan should not worry about it".[161] Certain
Pakistani players expressed disappointment about not getting an opportunity to be a part of
the IPL.[162][163]

During the 2025 IPL auction on 24 and 25 November 2024 at Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, 13
Bangladeshi players were registered, out of which 12 were auctioned.[164] However, none of
the players were sold, prompting a backlash from Bangladeshi fans and cricketers.[165] After
the auction concluded, the exclusion of Bangladeshi players was largely supported by Indians
following the violence against Hindus in Bangladesh in the aftermath of resignation of Sheikh
Hasina on August 5, 2024.[166]

Explanatory notes

a. Indian cricket leagues established using similar formats to the IPL include the Women's
Premier League and various domestic state-level leagues. Leagues established in other
sports include the association football Indian Super League,[11] the Pro Kabaddi League
and Pro Volleyball League[12] Other international leagues have also adopted elements of
the IPL and been influenced by the business model used.
