Indian Premier League

The Indian Premier League (IPL), also known as Tata IPL for sponsorship reasons, is a men's Twenty20 cricket
league held annually in India.[3] Founded by the BCCI in 2007, the league features ten state or city-based
franchise teams.[4] It 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
Pro Kabaddi League & 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 the 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

On 13 September 2007,[26] following India's victory at the 2007 T20 World Cup,[27] 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 with a "high-profile ceremony" in New Delhi. BCCI Vice-president
Lalit Modi, who led the IPL initiative, provided details of the tournament, including its format, prize money,
franchise revenue system, and squad composition rules.
Indian Premier League
The league, to be managed by a seven-man governing
council, would also serve as the qualifying mechanism for
that year's Champions League Twenty20.[26]

To determine team ownership, an auction for the franchises

was held on 24 January 2008. The reserve prices for the
eight franchises totalled $400 million,[25] but the auction Countries India

ultimately raised $723.59 million.[28] The league officially

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$12,000) to ₹30 lakh (US$35,000) 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]

Top 10 Highest Paid Players in IPL 2024 Auction by Forbes India[62]

Player IPL team Salary

Mitchell Starc Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) Rs 24.75 Crore

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

Sameer Rizvi Chennai Super Kings (CSK) Rs 8.40 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$5.7 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.[85]

winner of the award.[86][87]

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.[88][89] 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

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.

Maximum Sixes Award

Finances

Title sponsorship

Title sponsorship fees[93]

From 2008 to 2012, the IPL title sponsor was DLF,
India's largest real estate developer, which bid Sponsor Period Estimated annual sponsorship fee

₹200 crore (US$23 million) for the rights for five DLF 2008–2012 ₹40 crore (US$4.6 million)

seasons.[95] After the 2012 season, PepsiCo bought the Pepsi 2013–2015 ₹79.2 crore (US$9.2 million)

title sponsorship rights for ₹397 crore (US$46 million) 2016–2017 ₹100 crore (US$11.6 million)
[96] Vivo
for the next five seasons but terminated the deal in 2018–2019, 2021 ₹440 crore (US$50.8 million)
October 2015, two years before the expiry of the Dream11 2020 ₹222 crore (US$25.7 million)
contract, due to the two-season suspension of the
2022–2023 ₹335 crore (US$38.7 million)
Chennai and Rajasthan franchises from the league.[97] Tata
2024–2028 ₹500 crore (US$57.8 million)[94]
The BCCI transferred the title sponsorship rights for the
remaining two seasons of the contract to Chinese smartphone manufacturer Vivo for ₹200 crore
(US$23 million).[98]

In June 2017, Vivo retained the rights for the next five seasons from 2018 to 2022 with a winning bid of
₹2,199 crore (US$250 million).[99][100] On 4 August 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.[101] 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.[102] 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).[103] Vivo returned as the title sponsor for the
2021 IPL season[104] but withdrew again, and was replaced by the Tata Group for the next two seasons.[105]
InsideSport reported the BCCI would receive ₹498 crore (US$58 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$39 million) per year while Vivo would pay the deficit of ₹163 crore
(US$19 million) per season.[106][107]

Saudi Aramco brought the rights to advertise on the Purple and Orange caps in 2022.[108]

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.[109] 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.[110][111]

According to an independent report conducted by Brand Finance, a London-based company, after the
conclusion of the 2017 Indian Premier League, the IPL's business value grew by 37% to an all-time peak of
$5.3 billion, exceeding the five-billion-dollar mark for the first time in a season. According to the company's
director Savio D'Souza:

Now in its 11th season, the Indian Premier League is here to stay. The league has
delivered financially for the players, franchisees, sponsors, and India as a whole,
prompting a strong desire among stakeholders to value it appropriately. To ensure
continued development, management, and team owners must explore innovative
ways of engaging fans, clubs, and sponsors.[112]

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$580 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.[117]

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.[118] 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.[118]

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.[119] 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.[120][121][122][123]

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.[124][125][126] 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.[127][128]

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.[129][130] 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).[131][132]

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.[134] 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.[135][136] 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.[137] However, it was later proven that in reality, they had taken banned drugs after police
tested their urine and blood samples in a lab.[138]

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.[139][140]

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.[141]

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.[142][143] 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.[143]

These timeouts boost the IPL's revenue; every 10-second slot gets sold for ₹5 lakhs or more.[142][144] 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.[145] 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.[146]

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.[142]

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.[147][148]

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.[149][150][151] 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.[152] 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.[150][151]

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.[153]

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.[154]
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).[155] 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.[156] 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?"[157]
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.[158]

Slow over rates

The IPL frequently gets criticism due to the slow pace of its matches. During the 2023 season, Jos Buttler
mentioned on Twitter the need to speed up the pace of play. An IPL match should end within 3 hours and 10
minutes of the stipulated time, but it often ends after 4 hours. As per Gavaskar, strategic timeouts, reserve
players running on the field with drinks and messages during games, and batsmen asking for helmets result in
these delays. The introduction of strategic timeouts was also suspected to be for monetary reasons since it
allows for more ad slots.[144] 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.[159] Millions of
viewers feel that IPL matches should be fast-paced.[160]

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.[161]

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.[162] 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".[163]
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".[164] Certain Pakistani players expressed disappointment about
not getting an opportunity to be a part of the IPL.[165][166]

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.[167] However, none of the players were sold, prompting a
backlash from Bangladeshi fans and cricketers.[168] After the auction concluded, the exclusion of Bangladeshi
