The Indian Premier League (IPL), also known as the TATA IPL for sponsorship reasons, is a popular men's Twenty20 (T20) cricket league that takes place annually in India. Founded by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in 2007. The competition is usually held in summer between March and May and has an exclusive window in the ICC Future Tours Programme, ensuring that international cricket does not take place during the IPL season. As the most popular cricket league globally, the IPL was ranked sixth by average attendance among all sports leagues in 2014. The IPL made history in 2010 as the first sporting event to be broadcast live on YouTube. With a brand value of ₹90,038 crore (US$11 billion) in 2022, the league has become a significant contributor to the GDP of the Indian economy, with the 2015 season alone contributing ₹1,150 crore (US$140 million). In December 2022, a report by consulting firm D & P Advisory revealed that the IPL had become a decacorn valued at $10.9 billion, representing a 75% growth in dollar terms since 2020 when it was valued at $6.2 billion.
