“IS SPONSORING OF IPL(INDIAN

PREMIER LEAGUE)IN SOUTH AFRICA
AN INTELLIGENT DECISION”
 INTRODUCTION
IPL abbreviated as INDIAN PREMIER LEAGUE
is the richest cricket tournament in the world. It is organized by
BCCI and supported by ICC . It was well managed by the
chairperson Mr. Lalit Modi .It gained huge popularity within a
short span of 2 years. Many business tycoons and celebrities are
investing in this newly emerged phenomenon. Eight clubs played
in IPL.
 EIGHT CLUBS OF IPL
 Kolkata knight riders
 Rajasthan royals
 Deccan chargers
 Kings XI Punjab
 Chennai super kings
 Mumbai Indians
 Delhi dare devils
 Bangalore royal challengers
IPL CRICKET 2009 MOVED TO SOUTH
AFRICA

First season of IPL was held in INDIA from 18th

April to 1st June 2008 , with the victory of
Rajasthan royals over Chennai super kings. The
second season of IPL was to be held in INDIA
but it was shifted to South Africa due to certain
reasons.
REASONS BEHIND MOVEMENT OF IPL TO
SOUTH AFRICA

 IPL coincided with the Indian general elections

2009
 India’s central government refused to provide
security by Indian paramilitary forces.
 The franchise’s were not ready to break their
bond with players by postponing the date.
 Organizers were not ready to incur loss by not
holding the matches.
 IT WAS AN INTELLIGENT DECISION

 It was not good to take chance with the

security concerns after the Mumbai terrorist
attack &attack on Srilankan cricket team in
Pakistan.
 It was not justified to lose the stake money
invested by the franchises & the broadcasters.
IPL SUCCESS IS DRIVEN BY QUALITY
AND NOT JUST BY MONEY

Holding of ipl in India would not have brought

anything positive to the government as well as
the franchise ,if any security incident happened
during the matches. India would have lost its
reputation regarding the security & would also
have affected the common wealth game which
is planned to be held in Delhi in the year 2010.
 CONCLUSION
IPL was sponsored in southafrica successfully. It
was a sigh of relief for India which could not
ensure security concern for the tournament, and
also BCCI earned the money by holding the
matches in time. It was able to retain its
popularity by entertaining the fans all across the
world. So the decision was justified
