The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has revealed its grand plans for the 20th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2027. This announcement came during the BCCI's 95th Annual General Meeting in Mumbai, where the General Body also selected Arun Singh Dhumal and M Khairul Jamal Majumdar to represent the IPL Governing Council.
The first IPL match was played on April 18, 2008, between Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Brendon McCullum made an impressive debut, scoring an unbeaten 158 runs from 73 balls. The IPL has since expanded from its initial eight teams to ten, with Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings claiming the joint-highest number of titles.
The commercial value of the tournament has also soared, with media rights for the 2023-27 cycle sold for Rs48,390 crore.
