IPL Could Have Been A One Day Tournament The mastermind behind IPL, Lalit Modi, initially
pitched a 50 over (One Day format) format tournament back in 1995 to the BCCI (Board
of Control for Cricket in India), but was rejected.
It was only when ICL was launched by Zee in 2007, BCCI decided to start its own Twenty20
league.
Isn’t this an interesting IPL fact.
Cost Of 1 Ball In 2018, Star Sports won the broadcasting
rights for IPL for a tenure of 5 years for an eye watering sum of Rs. 16,347.5 crores.
This means that every delivery in the IPL will cost the network over Rs. 24 lakhs given
every match is played with each side playing all their 20 overs.
Majority of the people do not know this making it one of the most unknown facts of IPL.
Bowler Without A No-Ball This is one of the rarely known facts about
IPL.
A bowler tries to do everything right, but sometimes the calculations don’t work out
and the players bowl a no-ball.
However, this was not the case with leg-spinner Piyush Chawla.
He is one of the most underrated spinners in the Indian Cricket and during his time
with Delhi Capitals he did not bowl a single no-ball for 386 overs.
That’s for 8 long years he did not give the other side a free-hit.
Incredible discipline!
BCCI whopping earnings BCCI earns approximately $ 1.75 billion from
TV rights, $ 908 million from promotions and $ 700 million from franchises.Thats
huge.!!
Only Team To Never Change Its Captain The IPL is dynamic, and changes happen left
and right when things are not working because, let us face it, it is more of a business.
However, there is one team who has never changed its captain which is Chennai Super Kings.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been the captain of this franchise.despite being banned for
2 years from IPL CSK has played 8 finals.
Technically that means reaching the finale 80% of the times they played the tournament.
Only 1 Player from this Country IPL is a sight for sore eyes with so many
great players from several countries, however, there is just 1 player who represents Nepal
in IPL.
Sandeep Lamichhane, 20 year old made history in IPL 2018 when at the age of 17 years he
made his debut in IPL.
Team with 11 captains in 11 seasons of IPL.
This is one of the funniest facts about IPL.
On one side, there is RCB who sticks with Virat Kohli as captain even after not winning
a single IPL season.
And on the other hand, there is Punjab Kings, who changes its captain in every season of
IPL and still ends up on the losing side.
Youngest Player To Debut Do you know who is the youngest player to
debut in the Indian Premier League?
If you think it is Mujeeb-ur-Rahman at the age of 17 years and 11 days is the youngest
player to play IPL, i don’t blame you but you would be wrong.
In IPL 2019, this title was taken away by Prayas Ray Barman from India the youngest
debutant at the age of 16 years and 157 days when he played for Sun Risers Hyderabad against
Royal Challengers Bangalore on 31st March 2019.
Talking about the next fact, i do not think any other would beat it, or another fact could?
Keep watching to know.
Chris Gayle remains unsold in IPL 2011 and 2018.
This is one of the most shocking facts about IPL.
An incredible batsman who has scored more than 10,000 runs in T20 remains unsold two
times.
In 2011 Chris Gayle was picked up by RCB as a replacement and he scored a century in his
first game.
In 2018 Chris Gayle was picked up by Punjab Kings last minute and he scored a century
in his second game.
How ipl become popular Brendon McCullum smashed 158 runs off just
73 deliveries hitting 13 sixes and 10 boundaries taking Kolkata Knight Riders’ score to 222/3
in the very first match of ipl on 18th April 2008 made the game more popular and interesting
This is Just what the IPL needed!
