Indian Premier League
Summary
The Indian Premier League (IPL) is a professional Twenty20 (T20) franchise cricket league in India and the highest-profile T20 competition in the world. CricketStudio covers IPL across two scopes: the live current season and an 18-season historical archive (2007/08–2025).
Why This Matters
The IPL is the anchor league for CricketStudio's data. Its format (20 overs per side, fielding restrictions, phase structure) defines how most metrics in this bundle are interpreted. Almost every player, team, and metric concept here is IPL-scoped.

- Always pair "IPL" with a season and note whether you mean the live season or the historical archive — they are different scopes and must not be mixed (Ranking Eligibility).
- IPL uses the T20 phase structure.
- Live IPL 2026 data is derived from licensed data feed; historical IPL is Cricsheet-derived.
