INTRODUCTION

The IPL is a Twenty20 cricket tournament which was inaugurated in 2008. Twenty20 cricket

was first introduced at a competitive level by the England and Wales cricket board in 2003 but

the Indian Premier League is largely credited with being the institution that projected the formatof the game onto the world stage.

The Indian Premier League was initiated by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and

has been an enormous success. The annual tournament, played in the months of April and May

has gone from strength to strength and is largely viewed as being the 'richest' tournament in

world cricket.

franchise in $/million):

Chennai Super Kings, CSK (91)

Mumbai Indians, MI (111.9)

Rajasthan Royals, RR (67)

Royal Challengers Bangalore, RCB (111.6)

HISTORY

First season[edit]

Main article: 2008 Indian Premier League

The inaugural season of the tournament ran from 18 April, 2008 to 1 June, 2008. The group stagesfeatured eight teams playing each other twice - once at home and once away - with the top four overall

progressing to the semi-finals.

The final was played in DY Patil Stadium, Nerul, Navi Mumbai. The first winner of the IPL was Rajasthan

Royals, who beat Chennai Super Kings in a match that went down to the last ball. Rajasthan's Shane

Watson was named player of the tournament. Brendon McCullum scored the first century in the IPL.

Second season[edit]


The 2009 Indian Premier League season, also known as IPL 2, was the second season of the Indian

Premier League. The tournament was held inSouth Africa because of the General Elections in India andwas played for 37 days from 18 April to 24 May 2009. The top four ranking sides progressed to the

knockout stage of semi-finals followed by a final. Deccan Chargers beat Royal Challengers Bangalore in

the final (these two were placed 8th and 7th respectively in the standings of previous season).

Third season[edit]


The third season returned to India and it was the first IPL tournament that was broadcast live on

YouTube. The final four matches of the tournament were screened in 3D across movie halls in India.

Chennai Super Kings defeated Mumbai Indians in the finals to win their first title. Lalit Modi was ousted by

BCCI as the so-called Commissioner of IPL.

Fourth season[edit]

Main articles: 2011 Indian Premier League andList of 2011 Indian Premier League personnel changes

On 21 March 2010, it was announced in Chennai that two new teams from Pune and Kochi will be added

to the IPL for the fourth season. However, the bid around the Kochi franchise turned controversial

resulting in the resignation of minister, Shashi Tharoorfrom the Central Government and investigations

by various departments of the Government of India into the financial dealings of IPL and the other existing

franchises. Later, Lalit Modiwas also removed from IPL chairmanship by BCCI. On 5 December 2010, it

was confirmed that Kochi will take part in the fourth season of IPL.[11]

The addition of teams representing Sahara's Pune Warriors India and the Kochi Tuskers Kerala was to

have increased the number of franchises from 8 to 10. The BCCI originally considered extending the

tournament format used in previous season to ten teams, which would increase the number of matches

from 60 to 94. Instead, the round-robin stage of the tournament was to have been replaced by a group

stage with two groups of five, limiting the number of matches to 74.[12] But this format was replaced by

another one in which each team would play 5 other teams in a two-way round robin format and there

would be 2 teams against whom they would play only at home and remaining 2 teams against which they


9/25

would play only away matches.Thus each team plays 14 matches.Top four teams would qualify for the

semi-finals.

In October 2010, Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab had their franchises terminated for breaching

ownership rules. The new Kochi franchise was also issued a warning to resolve all their ownership

disputes.[13] Two months later both teams were finally allowed to take part in the 2011 edition after a court

ruling.[14]

Chennai Super Kings won their second consecutive title after defeating Royal Challengers Bangalore by

58 runs in the final.[15] This was the first time a franchise has won two titles.

Fifth season[edit]


The fifth season featured nine teams after the termination of the Kochi franchise. The players auction was

held on 4 February 2012. This season saw an increase in the allowed maximum number of players in

each squad from 30 to 33. The season of 76 matches began and ended inChennai, Tamil Nadu with the

opening match on 4 April and the final on 27 May.[16]Delhi Daredevils, Kolkata Knight Riders, Mumbai

Indians andChennai Super Kings qualified for the playoffs. The final of the season was played atthe Chidambaram Stadium on 27 May, where the defending champions Chennai Super Kings played

against the Kolkata Knight Riders. Kolkata Knight Riders won the match in the last over riding on the

backs ofManoj Tiwary and Shakib Al Hasan with 5 wickets and 2 balls to spare.

This edition of the IPL was the most competitive with 14 matches producing results in the very last over,

and a couple in the last ball.[17][18] Towards the end of the league, the season faced various hurdles

including a spot fixing case, which allegedly included five players caught on a sting operation carried on

by a local news channel; India TV.[19] The fifth season is often considered the most controversial Indian

Premier League organised.[20]

Sixth season[edit]


Pepsi replaced DLF as the title sponsor. Nine teams are participating in the sixth season. The sixth

season opened on 3 April 2013 with the playerauction broadcast on Sony SIX. 108 players were on offer

but only 37 players were sold for US$ 11.87 million. The Australian all rounderGlenn Maxwell was the

only million dollar buy. The Deccan Chargers franchise having been terminated by the IPL governing

council, had their spot taken by Sunrisers Hyderabad. The new team retains most of the players from

the Deccan Chargers. The tournament is scheduled to run from 3 April to 26 May 2013

with Kolkata and New Delhi hosting the playoffs. Kolkata's Eden Gardens will host the first match as well

as the final as they were the champions of the 2012 season.

Due to protests in the state of Tamil Nadu, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, Jayalalithaa has requested thePrime Minister of India, Dr. Manmohan Singhnot to allow any Sri Lankan players, umpires or any other

support staff to play in IPL matches to be held in Chennai.

Controversy hit IPL again with 3 players (Ajit Chandila,Ankeet Chavan and Sreesanth) arrested by the

Mumbai police on May 16 on charges ofspot-fixing. Vindu Dara Singh was also arrested on charges of

spot-fixing and alleged links to bookies during IPL 6.


10/25

Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad were the four teams

in the league stage to qualify for the playoffs.

On 21 May 2013, Chennai Super Kings defeated Mumbai Indians in the first qualifier in New Delhi by 48

runs and became the first team through to the Final.[21] On the same day, Pune franchisee owner Sahara

Group (owner of Pune Warriors India) decided to pull out of IPL. This decision was taken after Sahara

failed to pay IPL dues.

On 22 May 2013, Rajasthan Royals defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad in the eliminator in New Delhi by 4

wickets.[22]

On 24 May 2013, Mumbai Indians defeated Rajasthan Royals in the second qualifier and faced Chennai

Super Kings in the Final.

On 26 May 2013, Mumbai Indians defeated Chennai Super Kings by 23 runs for their first title

win. Michael Hussey and Dwayne Bravo of Chennai Super Kings won the highest run getter (Orange

Cap) and wicket taker (Purple Cap), respectively, of the 2013 IPL.

Despite significant European success during the 1970s and early 1980s, the late '80s had marked a low

point for English football. Stadia were crumbling, supporters endured poor facilities, hooliganism was rife,

and English clubs were banned from European competition for five years following the Heysel Stadium

disasterin 1985.[7] The Football League First Division, which had been the top level of English football

since 1888, was well behind leagues such as Italy's Serie A and Spain's La Liga in attendances and

revenues, and several top English players had moved abroad.[5]

However, by the turn of the 1990s the downward trend was starting to reverse; England had been

successful in the 1990 FIFA World Cup, reaching the semi-finals. UEFA, European football's governing

body, lifted the five-year ban on English clubs playing in European competitions in 1990 (resulting in

Manchester United lifting the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1991) and the Taylor Report on stadium safety

standards, which proposed expensive upgrades to create all-seater stadia in the aftermath of

the Hillsborough disaster, was published in January of that year.[8]

Television money had also become much more important; the Football League received 6.3 million for a

two-year agreement in 1986, but when that deal was renewed in 1988, the price rose to 44 million over

four years.[9] The 1988 negotiations were the first signs of a breakaway league; ten clubs[10] threatened to

leave and form a "super league", but were eventually persuaded to stay.[11] As stadia improved and match

attendance and revenues rose, the country's top teams again considered leaving the Football League in

order to capitalise on the growing influx of money being pumped into the sport.[11]

STRUCTURAL COMPARISONS

THE EPL

The Premier League is operated as a corporation and is owned by the 20 member clubs. Each club is

a shareholder, with one vote each on issues such as rule changes and contracts. The clubs elect achairman, chief executive, and board of directors to oversee the daily operations of the league. [19] The

current chairman is Sir Dave Richards, who was appointed in April 1999, and the chief executive

is Richard Scudamore, appointed in November 1999.[20] The former chairman and chief executive, John

Quinton and Peter Leaver, were forced to resign in March 1999 after awarding consultancy contracts to

former Sky executives Sam Chisholm and David Chance.[21] The Football Association is not directly

involved in the day-to-day operations of the Premier League, but has veto power as a special shareholder

during the election of the chairman and chief executive and when new rules are adopted by the league.[22]

The Premier League sends representatives to UEFA's European Club Association, the number of clubs

and the clubs themselves chosen according to UEFA coefficients. For the 201213 season the Premier

League has 10 representatives in the Association: Arsenal, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Everton, Fulham,Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur.[23] The

European Club Association is responsible for electing three members to UEFA's Club Competitions

Committee, which is involved in the operations of UEFA competitions such as the Champions

League and UEFA Europa League.[24]

IPL

The winning bidders for the eight franchises were announced on 24 January, 2008. [23] While the total

base price for auction was US $400 million, the auction fetched US $723.59 million.[24]

On 21 March 2010, teams from Pune and Kochi were unveiled as the two new franchises for the fourth

edition of the Indian Premier League. The base price was $225 million. While Pune was bought bySahara Adventure Sports Group for $370 million, the Kochi franchise was bought byRendezvous Sports

World Limited for $333.3 million. The process was to have been completed on 7 March but was

postponed by two weeks after many bidders and the BCCI objected to stiff financial clauses. [25] The

second franchise auction fetched total $703 million.

The rights to the Hyderabad franchise were awarded to the Sun TV Network in October, 2012.[26]

BRAND IMAGE

IPL Brand led Business Valuation

Brand Finance has treated the IPL as a single commercial entity in order to evaluate its worth.This means that we have aggregated the income that

both the BCCI and the franchisees willachieve, and the expenditure that each will incur.All cross-charged income/expenditure hastherefore been ignored. Brand Finance is calling this concept the IPL System.

Our approach has been to forecast the profits expec

ted to be made by the IPL System intotal, using publicly available data, both in termsof income and expenditure, and to apply acommon rate of tax to these profits (33.99%), and then discount the cash flows back to theirnet present value (NPV).

We have assumed that after the initial ten years the IPL concept will be continued. Thisassumes that there will be no viable competing domestic, or international, Twenty20tournament, and that the best domestic and international players will continue to be madeavailable to the tournament. A domestic tournament,in this case, means any tournament inany of the cricketing nations that is sanctioned bythe respective Governing Body, which hasthe potential to reach the scale, and dynamism, ofthe IPL. On this basis of this assumption

we have applied a perpetuity value to the IPL System.

We have estimated that the combined business valuecreated by the IPL brand is estimatedto be $ 3.03 billion.


18/25

Furthermore, we have valued the brand IPL, using the Royalty Relief

methodology. The 'RoyaltyRelief' (also known as Relief from Royalty) method is based on thenotion that a brand holding

company owns the brand and licenses it to an operating company. Thenotional price paid by theoperating company to the brand company is expressed as a royalty rate.The NPV of all forecastroyalties represents the value of the brand to the businessOur approach has been to forecast the profits expected to be made by theindividual franchisee,using publicly available data, both in terms of income and expenditure,

and to apply a common rateof tax to these profits (33.99%), and then discount the cash flows back totheir net present value(NPV)The income of the individual franchisees comprises the followingrevenue streams:

19/25

Team CostAuction process and Players salaries Team cost is expected to go up as franchisees will make best possible

attempt to retain keyplayers as new franchisees would be ready to pay significantly higher for

star players. Also, in theinitial phase of franchise's identity development, heavy investments needto be incurred inground activations to drive fan engagement & loyalty. In a rush to create / embrace new vehicles offan engagement,Franchises need to be cautiousdealing with Social Mediawhile it is enabling some teams to createmomentum, it is also

rapidly eroding fan equity due to poor planning & response fromFranchises. Already the IPL is second only to the American National BasketballAssociation ( NBA ), whoseannual average salary is 2.9 million pounds, whereas the annualisedIPL's average salary is 2.65million pounds - Annual Review of Global Sports Salaries- 20th April2011 The problem of the wage bill impacting operating profits is a globalphenomenon and themajority of clubs are struggling to contain players costs. Ranging from

55% to 60% of total cost,the IPL Franchises have not reached that level but they are not far away.

If franchises do not maintain a careful balance between players wages

and organic growth, itcan set up a vicious cycle which will have a direct impact on operating

profits and businesssustainability. IPL franchises need to be particularly conscious so as not to fall into

this obvious debt trap.


20/25

Sponsorships

India's biggest property developerDLF Group paid 250 cr(around US$50 million) to be the title sponsor

of the tournament for 5 years from 2008 to 2012. [48] Beginning in the 2013 season, the American food and

beverage company PepsiCo took over title sponsorship in a new five-year deal valued at 396.8 cr, and

also reached deals with eight IPL teams to become their exclusive beverage supplier for the 2013

season.[49][50]

Other year sponsorship agreements include a deal with motorcycle makerHero Honda worth $22.5-

million, one with PepsiCo worth $12.5-million, and a deal with beer and airline conglomerate Kingfisherat

$26.5-million.[51]

Revenue and profits[edit]

The UK-based brand consultancy, Brand Finance, has valued the IPL at $4.13 billion in 2010. [52] It was

valued at US$2.01 billion in 2009 by the same consultancy.[53]

There are disputed figures for the profitability of the teams. One analyst said that four teams out of the

eight made a profit in 2009.[54] While The Times said that all but Kings XI Punjab made a profit.[55]

In 2010, the IPL expects to have 80 official merchandising deals. It has signed a deal

with Swiss watchmaker Bandelier to make official watches for the IPL.[56]

Mobile applications[edit]

DCI Mobile Studios (A division of Dot Com Infoway Limited), in conjunction with Sigma Ventures

ofSingapore, have jointly acquired the rights to be the exclusive Mobile Application partner and rights

holder for the Indian Premier League cricket matches worldwide for the next 8 years (including the 2017

season). Recently[when?], they have released the IPL T20 Mobile applications

foriPhone, NokiaSmartphones and BlackBerry devices. It is available across all other major Mobile

platforms including theAndroid, Windows Mobile, Palm & others.[57]

Official website[edit]The IPL negotiated a contract with the Canadian company Live Current Media Inc. to run and operate itsportals and the minimum guarantee has been negotiated at US $50 million over the next 10 years.[58] Theofficial website of the tournament is www.iplt20.com. Incorporating popular forms of social media, thewebsite now contains a more holistic presence across all online mediums to empower user interaction.

Sponsorship[edit source]

The Barclays Premier League sponsorship logo as used by media

The Premier League has been sponsored since 1993. The sponsor has been able to determine the

league's sponsorship name. There have been three sponsors since the league's formation.[35]

19921993: No sponsor (FA Premier League)

19932001: Carling (FA Carling Premiership)[5]

20012004: Barclaycard (Barclaycard Premiership)[5]

2004present: Barclays (Barclays Premier League; Barclays Premiership until 2007)[5][36]

As well as sponsorship for the league itself, the Premier League has a number of official partners and

suppliers.[37] The official ball supplier for the league is Nike who have had the contract since the 200001

season when they took over from Mitre.[38]

Finances[edit source]

See also: List of Premier League football club owners

The Premier League has the highest revenue of any football league in the world, with total club revenues

of 2.479 billion in 200910,[39] and is the second most profitable after the German Bundesliga.[40] In 2010

the Premier League was awarded the Queen's Award for Enterprise in the International Trade category

by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The Premier League was recognised for its outstanding contribution

to international trade and the value it brings to English football and the United Kingdom's broadcasting

industry.[41] The Premier League's gross revenue is regularly the fourth highest of any sports league

worldwide, behind the annual revenues of the three most popular North American major sports

leagues (the National Football League, Major League Baseball and the National Basketball

Association).[42]

In terms of world football, the Premier League clubs are some of the richest in the world. Deloitte, who

annually release figures on club revenues through its "Football Money League", listed seven Premier

League clubs in the top 20 for the 200910 season.[43] No other league has more than four clubs in this

table. Premier League teams have dominated the list for many years, and even topped the list for almost

a decade until the 200405 season. After the Premier League's new TV deal went into effect, the league-

wide increase in revenues is expected to increase the Premier League clubs' standing in the list, and

there is a possibility that a Premier League club will be top of the list.[44][45]

On 18 December 2012, the Premier League clubs agreed in principle to radical new cost controls. The

two proposals consist of a break-even rule and a cap on the amount clubs can increase their wage bill by

each season. With the new television deals on the horizon, momentum has been growing to find ways of

preventing the majority of the cash going straight to players and agents.[46]

A 2012 match betweenArsenal andAston Villa.

Television has played a major role in the history of the Premier League. The money from television rights

has been vital in helping to create excellence both on and off the field. The League's decision to assign

broadcasting rights to BSkyB in 1992 was at the time a radical decision, but one that has paid off. At the

time pay television was an almost untested proposition in the UK market, as was charging fans to watch

live televised football. However, a combination of Sky's strategy, the quality of Premier League football

and the public's appetite for the game has seen the value of the Premier League's TV rights soar.[9]

The Premier League sells its television rights on a collective basis. This is in contrast to some other

European Leagues, including La Liga, in which each club sells its rights individually, leading to a much

higher share of the total income going to the top few clubs. [47] The money is divided into three parts:[48]half

is divided equally between the clubs; one quarter is awarded on a merit basis based on final league

position, the top club getting twenty times as much as the bottom club, and equal steps all the way down

the table; the final quarter is paid out as facilities fees for games that are shown on television, with the top

clubs generally receiving the largest shares of this. The income from overseas rights is divided equally

between the twenty clubs.[49]

The first Sky television rights agreement was worth 304 million over five seasons.[50] The next contract,

negotiated to start from the 199798 season, rose to 670 million over four seasons.[50] The third contract

was a 1.024 billion deal with BSkyB for the three seasons from 200102 to 200304. The league

brought in 320 million from the sale of its international rights for the three-year period from 200405 to

200607. It sold the rights itself on a territory-by-territory basis.[51] Sky's monopoly was broken from

August 2006 when Setanta Sports was awarded rights to show two out of the six packages of matches

available. This occurred following an insistence by the European Commission that exclusive rights should

not be sold to one television company. Sky and Setanta paid a total of 1.7 billion, a two-thirds increase

which took many commentators by surprise as it had been widely assumed that the value of the rights

had levelled off following many years of rapid growth. Setanta also hold rights to a live 3 pm match solelyfor Irish viewers. The BBC has retained the rights to show highlights for the same three seasons

(on Match of the Day) for 171.6 million, a 63 per cent increase on the 105 million it paid for the previous

three-year period.[52]Raidi Teilifs ireann broadcast thehighlights package in Ireland. Sky and BT have

agreed to jointly pay 84.3 million for delayed television rights to 242 games (that is the right to broadcast

them in full on television and over the internet) in most cases for a period of 50 hours after 10 pm on

matchday.[53] Overseas television rights fetched 625 million, nearly double the previous contract.[54] The


24/25

total raised from these deals is more than 2.7 billion, giving Premier League clubs an average media

income from league games of around 40 million-a-year from 2007 to 2010.[55]

The TV rights agreement between the Premier League and Sky has faced accusations of being a cartel,

and a number of court cases have arisen as a result.[56] An investigation by the Office of Fair Trading in

2002 found BSkyB to be dominant within the pay TV sports market, but concluded that there were

insufficient grounds for the claim that BSkyB had abused its dominant position. [57] In July 1999 the

Premier League's method of selling rights collectively for all member clubs was investigated by the UK

Restrictive Practices Court, who concluded that the agreement was not contrary to the public

interest.[58]The BBC's highlights package on Saturday and Sunday nights, as well as other evenings when

fixtures justify, will run until 2016.[59] Television rights alone for the period 2010 to 2013 have been

purchased for 1.782 billion.[60] On 22 June 2009, due to troubles encountered by Setanta Sports after it

failed to meet a final deadline over a 30 million payment to the Premier League, ESPN was awarded two

packages of UK rights containing a total of 46 matches that were available for the 200910 season aswell as a package of 23 matches per season from 201011 to 201213.[61] On 13 June 2012, the Premier

League announced that BT had been awarded 38 games a season for the 201314 through 201516

seasons at 246 million-a-year. The remaining 116 games were retained by BSkyB who will pay

760 million-a-year. The total rights have raised 3.018 billion, an increase of 70.2% over the 201011 to

201213 rights.[62]

Worldwide[edit source]

Promoted as "The Greatest Show On Earth",[63][64] the Premier League is broadcast to over 600+ million

people in over 200 countries worldwide,[65] often on networks owned and/or controlled by 21st Century

Fox (which owns about 39.1% of BSkyB in the UK).

In the United States, coverage for most of the 2000s and early 2010s was shared between Fox

Soccer/Fox Soccer Plus (which are also owned by News Corporation) and ESPN, with Fox

Deportes and ESPN Deportes holding Spanish language rights.[66]NBC Sports (primarily

through NBCSN) replaced ESPN and Fox Soccer as the exclusive broadcaster of the league in the US (in

both English and Spanish; Telemundo and Mun2 now carry Spanish-language coverage) beginning in the

201314 season, as the result of a new three-year, $250 million USD deal with the league, including 20

matches that start at 5 p.m. GMT on Saturdays free-to-air on the main NBC network (12 noon

American Eastern). Other games are carried through gametime-only channels known as "Premier League

Extra Time", and all games are carried through NBC Sports' website and the "NBC Sports Live Extra"

tablet/smartphone app with TV Everywhere authentication.[67]

In Canada, Sportsnet owned the Premier League rights for three years from the 201011 season. Select

games (particularly those aired by ESPN) were sub-licensed to TSN.[68] Starting in the 201314 season,

the matches will be divided equally between Sportsnet and TSN. In Australia, Fox Sports shows the

games with a Viewers Choice option for up to five live games and up to nine games live on any given

game-week.[69]

The Premier League is particularly popular in Asia, where it is the most widely distributed sports

programme.[70] In India, the matches are broadcast live on ESPN and Star Sports. In China, data from

2003 suggested that matches were attracting television audiences between 100 million and 360 million,

more than any other foreign sport.[71] However, when the Chinese rights to Premier League matches were

sold to a subscription channel in 2007, the number of viewers proved to be in the tens of

thousands.[72] Due to its popularity in Asia, the league has held four pre-season tournaments there, the

only Premier League affiliated tournaments ever to have been held outside England. [73] The Premier

League Asia Trophy has been played in Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong and China and involves threePremier League clubs playing against a local team from the host nation, often the national side.[74]

Figures from UK tourism body VisitBritain suggest that 750,000 visitors to Britain attended a Premier

League match in 2010, spending a total 595 million and an average of 766. Visitors from Norway are

most likely to come to watch Premier League football, with one in 13 Norwegian tourists travelling

specifically to attend matches. Second on the list is the United Arab Emirates. For those visiting family

and friends, the most likely to watch a football match are from Japan, China and Australia.[75]
