If you know what Cricket is, then I will call your question a very Wierd one!! (Plz don't mind, just kidding). I'll share with you what I know about IPL. IPL stands for Indian Premier League. The Indian Premier League (also known as the "DLF Indian Premier League"), is a Twenty20 cricket competition created by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The first season of the Indian Premier League commenced on 18 April 2008, and ended on 1 June 2008 with the victory of the Rajasthan Royals in the final at the DY Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai. The official rules for the tournament are here. Some of the Team composition rules are: * Total squad strength of 16 players plus one physio and a coach. * No more than 8 foreign players in the squad and at most 4 in the playing XI. * A minimum of 4 local players must be included in each team. * No fewer than 4 players from the BCCI under-22 pool in each team. The players accorded "icon" status are: Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly, Yuvraj Singh, Virender Sehwag and Mahendra Singh Dhoni. The total spending cap for a franchisee in the first player auction was US $5m. Under-22 players are to be remunerated with a minimum annual salary of US $20,000 while for others it is US $50,000. Icon players are to be paid 15% more than the highest paid player in their respective teams.

Indian Premier League is a twenty20 cricket tournament organized by the BCCI (board of control for cricket in India). This is the second year the tournament is being held. It is usually played in India, but because of elections in India it has been moved to South Africa. IPL is a tournament where players from all over the world paarticipate and get payed a lot of money(and thats why they have disputes with country boards over international commitments. There are 8 teams(franchises) in the IPL, namely Deccan Chargers Mumbai Indians Chennai Super Kings Kolkata Knight Riders Royal Challengers Bangalore Delhi Daredevils Kings XI punjab Rajhasthan Royals Last years IPL was won by the Rajhasthan Royals, while the runners up were Chennai Super Kings. Delhi Daredevils and Kings XI punjab were semi finalists. Franchise owners are usually celebrities and businessmen. Hope this helps!
