Cricket is more than simply a sport in India; it is a religion with a sizable following. Cricket has a global fan base of more than a billion people, with the Indian subcontinent accounting for nearly all of them. It is quite normal that children and adults can be seen playing street cricket on India's streets and narrow footpaths. To meet out the expectations of citizens of cricket crazy nation, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) determined to expand the game to reap benefit through the introduction of intra country cricket league in 2007, following the T20 World Cup victory. In 2008, the Indian Premier League (IPL) was born as a result of this. It quickly became BCCI's most lucrative annual sporting event just a few years after its inception. The presentation will provide an overview of the operations, revenue, and contribution of IPL to the Indian economy.
