Why is IPL so famous? 

You all will Know about the popularity of IPL.  At the time of this event, the atmosphere of Cricket is created all over India, people of all ages like to watch it and the special thing that makes it even more popular is the participation of famous Cricketers from all over the world in this tournament. Sports channels have the highest TRPs at the time of IPL  and earn the most money. The IPL is a tournament watched all over the world. The IPL is a way for Indian Cricketers to showcase their performance and get their place in the national cricket team and play forward for the country.

The tournament lasts for about one and half months and is attended by 8 to 9 teams, out of which four teams have qualified for IPL playoff  and one of them wins and trophy and cash prizes are awarded to the winning team. During the IPL, there is a lt of crowd in the Cricket stadium and the spectator gallery is fully filled, which further fills the enthusiasm of the players. In this competition, from state level cricketers to national level cricketers participate and perform, this is what makes IPL more enjoyable than the tournament.  You should listen to this famous IPL tune.

IPL is a rich tournament  in which players make more and more money by playing inside it from all over the world. all the companies within the IPL are willing to advertise themselves, hence BCCI's 80% revenue would come only from IPL. That is why BCCI is the highest-paid Cricket board in the world. In 2008, the title sponsor was with DLF India's largest Real-Estate developer. DLF secured rights of IPL for 5 year term at a whopping amount of 500 Crore. After 2012, PepsiCo bought the title sponsorship right for 397 core for five year term, however the deal terminated within two year before the expiry of the deal. The deal was then transferred to Chinese Mobile brand Vivo for 200 Crore. In 2017, Vivo retained the title right till 2022 at a whopping amount of 2,199 crore.

Within 2008, the IPL Broadcasting rights were bought by Sony Picture Network and World Sports Group for ten-year contract value at US$1.03 billion. As per the agreement, Sony got domestic broadcasting and WSG got foreign broadcasting rights. IN 2015, Star India got the internet and mobile rights for three year for Rs 302.2 Crore and In 2017, Star India also bought IPL Broadcasting rights for US$2.55 billion  for five-year.  Look at the bid made on IPL. 

Why was the threat of cancellation on IPL hovering?

Many sports have been canceled due to Cororna virus and this if affecting IPL also. The IPL is being Organized inside India in April or May, in which various teams participate, this tournament is done in  different cities of India and thousands of people watch live on stadium and millions of people watch it on their TV. The situation inside India was getting worse due to Corona virus. Due to this, Lock down had to be done all over India. All kinds of sports inside India were also temporarily closed. But BCCI is not at all wanting that this tournament be canceled under any circumstances. The BCCI continued to sit with government for the IPL and considered releasing the next schedule of the IPL. 

The  BCCI does not want to let the IPL be canceled because the sponsors are putting a lot of money in the IPL and they do not want to lose money under any circumstances. The challenge for the Be BCCI is that the IPL should be held now this year in India or on some other foreign land. It is noteworthy that BCCI has already organized IPL in South Africa and United Arab Emirates in 2009 and 2014 and this year also BCCI is going to organize IPL in UAE. 

How safe is it to Organize IPL this year?

Taking note of the prevailing COVID-19 situation in India, the IPL GC decided to stage the tournament in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the matches will be played in Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi subject to necessary clearances from the Government of India.

The IPL will now be held inside UAE from 19 September 2020 - 10 November 2020. Preparation have been made to take all the players from the chartered plane to the UAE and from 25 August there will be a practice session there. According to the BCCI, spectators will not allowed to watch the opening matches but as the tournament progress, the spectators will be allowed to come to the stadium and watch the match. The 53-day tournament will witness 10-afternoon matches starting at 15:30 IST while the evening matches will start at 19:30 IST. Women’s T20 Challenge will also take place in the UAE and will comprise three teams with four matches to be played during the IPL Playoff week. 

This time it will be even more exciting to watch the IPL after the Twenty20 World cup is canceled, this is very big news for the fans of cricket and now they will be able to enjoy cricket freely. This time Indian cricketers faced a different challenge in the IPL as the Indian cricketers has not played any International cricket match since March 2020, and young cricketers and freshers will have to practice hard  for their good performance. We would also like that like every year, this time also new cricketers from the IPL came out and carried the name of the county forward.
