The IPL continues to be wildly popular in India

The Indian Premier League continues to be one of the most high profile events in world cricket. It is ironical that it took inspiration from the NBA and today has surpassed it in terms of average attendance by almost double the margin. The IPL was started in 2008 and it has 8 franchises currently. It served as an inspiration for the Big Bash League in Australia which has also amassed a large following.

There have been a total of thirteen franchises in the IPL till date. The IPL Season 8 was sampled by 105 million unique viewers, which was a 9 % increase over IPL 7. The TV ratings climbed 42 %, from 3.1 to 4.5
