IPL (Indian Premier League) 2010
The Indian Premier League, created by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and sanctioned by the International Cricket Council (ICC), is a Twenty20 cricket competition. It is the brainchild of BCCI vice-president Lalit Modi and is modelled along the lines of club football in Europe, which is unlike anything cricket has known in the past. The best players from around the world will not play according to their nationality but as per the market forces.
The first season of the Indian Premier League, also known as the DLF Indian Premier League, began on April 18, 2008, in Bangalore, and ended on June 1, 2008, with the victory of the Rajasthan Royals in the final at the DY Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai.
The second edition of the cash-rich event was conducted in South Africa and was won by Deccan Chargers.
In the current league, IPL-3, eight teams in the fray are: Rajasthan Royals (RR), Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Deccan Chargers (DC), Mumbai Indians (MI), Delhi Daredevils (DD) and Kings XI Punjab (KXIP).
