About the 2025 Indian Premier League
This Doodle celebrates the start of the 2025 Indian Premier League T20 cricket season, also known as IPL 18. This year’s tournament will see 10 teams competing over the next two months.
The league was founded in 2007 by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BBCI) after India’s victory in the T20 World Cup. The IPL has since become the most popular cricket tournament and organization in the world. It boasts 10 competitive franchise teams from all over India, each with their own stellar roster of bowlers and batsmen.
The first fixture takes place at the Eden Gardens stadium in Kolkata, which is where the grand final match will also be. Good luck to all the teams!
