IPL is easily one of the most popular and biggest events that India has ever seen. IPL is the brain child of BCCI Vice President Mr.Lalit Modi who actually had floated this idea in 1996. But it moved into reality only when the ZEE group launched a rival INDIAN CRICKET LEAGUE(ICL) on April 2007.

The overall Prize money for the tournament will be $5million with the winners taking home a whooping sum of US $2million (Wiiners of the ICC World Cup 2007 in the Carribean took homeUS $1million dollars).
