The Indian Premier League (IPL) was founded in 2007 as a professional T20 cricket competition governed by the BCCI. It features ten franchise teams and is the most-viewed cricket league worldwide. Its financial strength and high-profile player auctions make it the richest cricket league, played between March and May.

The IPL also dominates Indian sports viewership, surpassing the Pro Kabaddi League and Indian Super League. From its initial eight-team format, the IPL has evolved significantly, welcoming new teams and dealing with team terminations. Notable events include the suspension of Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals in 2015 due to match-fixing controversies.

Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan reportedly leads the all-time IPL fours chart, being one of the few batsmen to smash over 700+ fours in the tournament’s history. Dhawan has hit 768 fours in 222 matches, making him the most prolific boundary-hitter in IPL history.
