Latest news on the Indian Premier League (IPL), covering results, points table, auction, playoffs, fixtures, teams and players from CSK to RCB.
Founded by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in 2008, the IPL is the world's richest Twenty20 cricket league. Ten franchises compete each spring, drawing the game's biggest international stars. Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians remain the most successful sides, with five titles apiece.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru are the reigning back-to-back champions, having retained the trophy in 2026 after a maiden triumph in 2025. They became only the third franchise to defend the title, joining CSK and Mumbai Indians. Fans follow the points table, the playoff race, and the Orange Cap and Purple Cap battles, while each player auction reshapes squads ahead of a new season.
The league is as much spectacle as sport, blending cricket with music, celebrity ownership, and fierce city rivalries. Stories of long-serving icons resonate deeply, none more so than Virat Kohli's drawn-out wait for a title with Bengaluru. The companion Women's Premier League (WPL) has rapidly built its own passionate following since launching in 2023.
The inaugural 2008 tournament was won by Rajasthan Royals, captained by the late Shane Warne. Within a few short years the format had transformed cricket's finances, calendar, and global talent market. It has not been free of controversy, including a high-profile spot-fixing scandal that saw two franchises suspended.
