## Resource

Watched by more than 1 billion people, the Indian Premier League, otherwise known as the IPL, has become one of the most valuable sporting leagues in the world. Unlike traditional, the IPL brought an all-new feel to cricket, fast cars, extortionate paycheques and bright lights, yet is regarded as one of the highest standard of domestic T20 cricket around. Mark and Marcus guide us through the birth of the IPL back in 2008, it's road to becoming so dominant and how exactly it changed the face of cricket. Every week, Mark Pougatch and Marcus Buckland unpack unbelievable stories from the world of sporting history. ⁠Tik Tok⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠ Produced by Spiritland Creative Learn more about your ad choices.
