So, how much does the winner of the IPL actually get? The short answer: the IPL 2026 champions received ₹20 crore, roughly USD 2.4 million….
The Indian Premier League has been breaking batting records almost from the day it began. The very first IPL match in 2008 gave us Brendon McCullum’s unbeaten 158, and nearly two decades later batters are still rewriting what was supposed to be possible in twenty overs. From Chris Gayle’s unplayable 175 not out to a…
The Indian Premier League has completed 19 seasons since its launch in 2008, and eight different franchises have lifted the trophy in that time. Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings remain the most successful teams with five titles each, but the newest name on the roll of honour is Royal Challengers Bengaluru, who won their…

That balance is protected by one of the most talked about rules in T20 cricket: the overseas player limit. Every franchise can sign up to eight foreign players, but only four of them…

The captaincy picture for IPL 2027 is clearer than it looks — and more uncertain than it sounds. Eight of the ten franchises go into the season with their leaders effectively settled, including two-time defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru under Rajat Patidar.

This was the very first match the IPL ever played, back on 18 April 2008, and it has delivered everything since: a 140-run annihilation, a 49 all out, a one-run thriller, and two sides that are…
