​Coming of age: on the IPL, its 18th edition

The Hindu  

Indian cricket’s summer spectacle is entering its eighteenth season. The Indian Premier League, which debuted on a warm night at Bengaluru’s M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in 2008, has evolved into a global sporting juggernaut with immense commercial clout. Beyond the on-field drama, the IPL continues to be a game-changer, with other cricketing nations struggling to retain their stars as freelance players increasingly prioritise IPL contracts. While the league runs on high stakes and intense performances, the Indian government’s recent move to ban alcohol and tobacco companies from leveraging IPL telecasts for surrogate advertising is a welcome decision. The same scrutiny will follow Pat Cummins and other key players, as the IPL not only sets the tone for the cricketing calendar but also provides crucial insights into the form and fitness of the game’s biggest names when the time comes for performance on the international stage.
