Indian Premier League’s 16th season kicks off tomorrow. Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings will square off in Ahmedabad for the first game of the year. The first game in the history of the tournament was played between KKR and RCB on April 18, 2008, roughly 15 years ago.

Cricket has undergone numerous changes since then. International cricket and the IPL have both incorporated many new, sophisticated rules and batters’ attacking strategies. T20 matches grew during these years while the number of ODI matches decreased. In test cricket, the longest and most difficult format, results were achieved in 80% of the matches. Ten franchise leagues have begun in nations around the world, even without the IPL.

IPL came after 5 years of T20

The first T20 game was played in England’s Twenty-20 Cup in 2003; this competition later changed its name to the Natwest T20 Blast. Australia and New Zealand played in the inaugural T20 International on February 17, 2005. The World Cup in this format was held in South Africa after two years, and the Franchise League (IPL) in this format debuted in India the following year.

There used to be a lot of ODI and Test cricket before the IPL. T20 cricket, however, gained worldwide appeal after the IPL. The International Cricket Council and the other cricket governing bodies around the world took note of this as well and fixed the teams’ games and schedules in accordance with it. The findings showed that the number of Test matches had not changed significantly. However, the quantity of T20 matches also significantly increased.

ODIs decreased, T20 increased rapidly

According to the statistics, there were 50 T20 games, 221 ODIs, and 221 Tests played between 2003 and 2007. There were 212 Tests, 654 ODIs, and 248 T20s played between the years of 2008 and 2012. 222 Tests, 631 ODIs, and 338 T20 Internationals were played over the next five years. T20 teams also increased during this time.

However, there have been 1401 T20 cricket matches in the last five years, along with two T20 World Cups. ODI matches were reduced to 609 at the same time. 210 matches of the longest format were played during this time, while there was no discernible effect on the test.

80% test results out

The inaugural Test match between Australia and England took place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on March 15, 1877. The majority of the tests were then drawn. The introduction of ODI cricket in 1971, 96 years after the first Test match, quickened the pace of Test matches. The longest format of cricket, however, picked up speed quickly after the introduction of T20 cricket.

There were 431 Test matches played between 1974 and 1990. Out of these, 57.08% of the matches had a conclusion, while 42.92% ended in a tie. 29% of the 697 Test matches played between 1991 and 2007 had ODI cricket as a factor. At the same time, 644 Test matches were played starting with the IPL’s first season, and only 131 Tests were drawn.

double centuries also increased

The big scores of test batsmen also began to rise quickly after the IPL debuted. In the 1856 Tests played between 1877 and 2007, only 275 double centuries were recorded. However, 126 double centuries were scored in the IPL’s 15-year history. If double centuries are scored at this rate, there will be as many double centuries in the first 130 years of Test cricket by 2040.

Flood of franchise cricket has come

Not only did the IPL alter international cricket, but numerous franchise leagues also debuted around the world. The T20 league of one or more countries now lasts the entire year, depending on the situation. However, no other league could become as well-known as the IPL. In addition to its fame, the IPL is the most expensive league in the world financially.

Team India got these stars

Team India, which is currently representing the nation internationally, has also benefited greatly from the IPL. These include a number of well-known athletes, such as Captain Rohit Sharma, Jaspreet Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammad Siraj, Shardul Thakur, Ishaan Kishan, Thangarasu Natarajan, and Navdeep Saini.

In addition to these, the Indian team has 6 to 7 pacers who consistently bowl at or above 145 mph. They include bowlers from the IPL such as Jaspreet Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj, Navdeep Saini, Umran Malik, and the well-known Krishna. In addition to these, bowlers like Rasikh Salam, Yash Dayal, Shivam Mavi, and Kamlesh Nagerkoti are consistently training to join Team India while bowling at a speed of 145 or faster.

Indian athletes’ greatest gift All-rounders from the IPL have been Indian cricket’s greatest gift. Players like Shardul Thakur, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, and Akshar Patel were given a great platform to perform under pressure in addition to the best all-rounders like Hardik Pandya. These players performed superbly for Team India at the international level after handling the pressure of the IPL.

Along with these, numerous other all-rounders have been a part of Team India consistently, including Rahul Tewatia, Abhishek Sharma, Shivam Dubey, Kamlesh Nagerkoti, Shivam Mavi, Venkatesh Iyer, Krishnappa Gautam, Krunal Pandya, Riyan Parag, Mahipal Lomror, Shahbaz Ahmed, Karn Sharma, Mayank Dagar, and Abdul Samad. preparing to arrive.
