The Indian Premier League (IPL) started in 2008 as a competitive Twenty20 cricket league in India. Teams from major Indian cities compete in the tournament, which is built on a round-robin group and knockout format. The IPL, which was created by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), has grown to be the most lucrative and successful cricket league in the world. Matches usually start in the late afternoon or evening, with at least a part of them being played under floodlights at night to increase the viewing audience for international broadcasts. League matches were originally played on a home-and-away basis between both teams, but with the proposed extension to ten clubs (divided into two groups of five) in 2011, the arrangement was modified so that matches between certain teams would be reduced to a single match.
The top four teams compete in three play-off matches, with one losing team getting a second opportunity to advance to the final, a twist designed to increase future viewing sales. The four teams that finished at the top of the tables compete in a series of elimination games in the play-off part of the competition, which gives one team that lost its first-round game a second chance to progress to the final match.
