Sponsors and match format of IPL T20

Each team is sponsored by a sponsor. Each team can hire players from India and other countries. However, it is mandatory to take 4 players from the region. Large numbers of foreign players are participating in IPL T20 because of the huge amount of money.

Each team plays with each team in league matches. Top four teams play in Semifinals. Winner of both semi-finals then play the final match and winner of the final match becomes champion of the IPL T20. Rajasthan Royals won the first IPL T20 and Deccan Chargers bagged the trophy in 2009.

Various formats of cricket: Test cricket

The classical form of cricket is test cricket. It has been played for five long days, six hours a day. It takes a longer time in comparison to one-day internationals(ODI). One day international matches take just one day. All types of cricket matches are played between two teams having 11 players on each side.

Both the teams play two innings in test cricket format. There is no restriction or limit of time in playing an inning. One of the teams bat first and play their innings till 10 of the batsmen out. The opponent team bats the next in the same way. The first team then comes again to bat their second innings as their first. The opponent team plays again in their second innings. Sum total of both innings of both the teams decides the result.

Many times all four innings cannot be completed even in prescribed five days and match ends with a timing draw. This feature of test cricket makes it unpopular. People do not have patience and time of five days to watch a test match in a modern and busy life.

ODI and T20 formats of cricket

One day internationals (ODI) had come in the seventh decade of the twentieth century as a faster format of cricket. Soon it becomes popular in the cricket world. ICC had started organizing world cup for cricket in ODI format. The first world cup was organized in 1975 in England and the West Indies became the world champion of cricket. West Indies won the championship three times and India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka bagged the trophy once. Australia has won the championship four times and they are the present champions.

Both the teams play a limited 50 overs in ODI format of cricket. The team, who scores higher in 50 overs becomes the winner. One day internationals are limited over matches and completed within a day.

T20 is the even faster format of cricket which takes approximately 3 hours to be completed. Each of the teams plays only twenty overs. The team scores higher in twenty overs becomes the winner. T20 or Twenty-twenty format of cricket has started in this century, just a few years back. However, it has become more popular than both test matches and ODIs.

ICC has started world cup for the T20 format of cricket and India was the first Champion in the T20 format. The second one was won by Pakistan and the third T20 world cup will be played this year.
