The IPL was first established in 2008 and has been running ever since. It has become increasingly popular over the years, with more and more fans tuning in to watch the matches. The IPL has also attracted some of the world's best cricketers, who have helped to make the league even more exciting. The success of the IPL has also led to the formation of other Twenty20 cricket leagues around the world, such as the Big Bash League in Australia.
