2008 Indian Premier League
The 2008 Indian Premier League (IPL) was the inaugural season of the Twenty20 cricket league established by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Launched on April 18, 2008, the tournament featured eight teams representing different Indian cities, competing in a round-robin format followed by playoffs. The IPL was notable for its innovative player auction system, which enabled franchises to acquire top international and domestic talent. The season culminated in a final match held at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, where the Rajasthan Royals emerged victorious, defeating the Chennai Super Kings. The tournament significantly impacted the global cricket landscape, popularizing the T20 format and enhancing cricket's commercial viability.
