The IPL is a professional Twenty20 cricket league in India, established in 2008 by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The league features eight franchise teams representing different cities in India, and each team consists of both Indian and international players.
Over the years, the IPL has become one of the most popular and lucrative cricket leagues in the world, with millions of viewers tuning in to watch the matches. The league has also been known to attract some of the biggest names in international cricket, with players like Chris Gayle, AB de Villiers, and Shane Watson becoming household names in India due to their performances in the IPL.
In 2022, the IPL expanded to include two more teams, bringing the total number of teams to 10. However, for IPL 2023, there will be 12 teams competing in the tournament. The teams will play each other twice in a home-and-away round-robin format, with the top four teams qualifying for the playoffs.. The top two teams at the end of the round-robin stage play each other in the first qualifier, with the winner going straight to the final. The third and fourth-placed teams play each other in the eliminator, and the winner of that match plays the loser of the first qualifier in the second qualifier. The winner of the second qualifier then advances to the final to face the winner of the first qualifier.
Overall, the IPL is a thrilling tournament that showcases some of the best T20 cricket in the world, and IPL 2023 promises to be no different with the return of fans to all 12 venues.
