The Indian Premier League (IPL) is a domestic,
annual Twenty20 cricket tournament
in India
organized by the IPL Governing Council, under the aegis of
the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). It
is the most watched Twenty20 tournament and the second-best paying sporting
league globally.

consists of eight teams in
eight cities across India The inaugural IPL season was won by Rajasthan Royals.
As of May 2018, there have been eleven
seasons of the IPL tournament, with the latest eleventh season having been conducted
from April to May 2018
The IPL tournament involves each team playing
every other team twice in a home-and-away, double round-robin format. At the conclusion of
the double round-robin league, the top four teams on the basis of aggregate
points qualify for the playoffs. In this stage, the top two teams compete with
each other (in a match titled "Qualifier 1"), as do the remaining two
teams (in a match titled "Eliminator").] While
the winner of Qualifier 1 directly qualifies for the final match, the losing
team gets another chance to qualify for the final match by playing the winning
team of the Eliminator match; this match is titled Qualifier 2. The winner
of this subsequent Qualifier 2 match moves onto the final match. The team
that wins the final match is crowned the Indian Premier League champion.
Altogether, thirteen teams have played in the
past ten seasons of the IPL tournament.
Of these, three teams
are no longer a part of the tournament. In 2011, BCCI terminated the franchise of Kochi Tuskers Kerala for contractual
breach.] Similarly,
BCCI terminated the franchise of Deccan Chargers in
2012 for backing off from its commitments. In 2013, Pune Warriors India exited IPL after it
had a franchise valuation disagreement with BCCI.
Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals
were suspended in 2015 following a betting
controversy. However, in July 2017, BCCI announced that both Chennai
Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals would be allowed back into the IPL competition
from the 2018 season. The tournament featured eight teams for the 2018
season, including Delhi Daredevils, Kings XI Punjab, Kolkata Knight Riders, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Rajasthan Royals, Chennai Super Kings, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians.
