The Indian Premier League (IPL) is a professional cricket league in India. It was founded by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in 2008. The IPL is the most-attended cricket league in the world and ranks sixth among all sports leagues. It features eight teams divided into two divisions, playing a total of seventy-eight matches. The top four teams from each division advance to the playoffs, with the winner of the final being crowned the champion. One of the most exciting aspects of IPL is its players’ explosive batting displays, which often result in quickfire fifties (50 runs or more scored in less than fifty balls). In this article, we take a look.
