The Indian Premier League( IPL) has brought about a great deal of change in the
justice world, especially in terms of popularising the Twenty20 format and
modernising the game's gameplay and business model. Since its founding in 2008 by
the Board of Control for Cricket in India( BCCI), the Indian Premier League( IPL) has
gained transnational attention thanks to its instigative, high- energy style of justice.
The IPL's ballot structure, which pits clubs from different municipalities or areas
against one another, is one of its distinctive aspects. To increase the league's
fissionability, each season it hosts a player transaction in which brigades shot on
professed justice players from across the world. The league is more instigative and
changeable because of this mix of original and foreign skill.

 Question 3 - Which stadium held most matches?

The stadiums are dispersed around India, with Mohali, Pune, Mumbai, Kolkata,
Hyderabad, and Delhi among their locations. A range of stadiums are included in the
list, including minor venues like Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium
and larger international stadiums like Eden Gardens. Numerous factors, including a
stadium's capacity, amenities, and location, might affect how many games it can host.

Players

The players in the league with the most number of POM awards are among the most
prosperous and well-liked athletes. Being named the Player of the Match (POM) is a
noteworthy accomplishment because it shows that the player significantly influenced
the result of the game. The most valuable players in the league can be found by using
the graphic to compare the performances of various players.

 Question 5 - Which team has lost the most matches?

It is not always the case that the teams with the most defeats are the poorest in the
league. They might have just participated in more games than other teams. The graph
can be used to evaluate how various teams are performing in relation to one another
and to determine which teams have had the greatest difficulty in the IPL. Interestingly,
some of the IPL's most successful teams—like the Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai
Indians—do not rank among the teams with the highest number of defeats. This implies
that even when these teams haven't played at their best, they have managed to find
methods to prevail.
Question 6 - Which umpire has the most appearances?

It is simpler to understand the umpires' levels of commitment and experience in

comparison to their colleagues thanks to the chart, which effectively illustrates the
relative contributions of each umpire. This graphic depiction makes it easier to
recognize key players on the field and to comprehend how umpiring responsibilities are
distributed. A wide spectrum of umpires, from those with lengthy histories like Aleem
Dar to those with fewer appearances but bright futures, are represented on the chart.
This implies that there is a good mix of seasoned pros and up-and-coming umpires in
the sport.

Question 7 - Which team has won toss, took bat and got winner?

Winning the toss and choosing to bat may be a slight advantage in the IPL.
Teams that bat first have the opportunity to set a target for the other team to
chase, and they can also take advantage of the dew factor later in the match.
However, the difference in win percentage between teams that bat first and
teams that bat second is not very large. This suggests that other factors, such
as the quality of a team's batting and bowling lineups, are more important in
determining the outcome of a match.
The teams at the top of the graph are all successful teams overall. This
suggests that there is a correlation between winning the toss and choosing to
bat and overall team success.

 Question 8 - Which team has batted first the most?

By this visualization we can understand that which team has batted first over the span
of 12 years i.e., from 2008 to 2019 which shows which team prefers to bat first. From
this we can deduce that which team has a stronger batting line up rather than bowling
line up. This visual also shows the chances of teams scoring big runs in the first innings.

The graph shows the variety of matches that various teams have played, ranging from
187 (Kolkata Knight Riders) to just 14 (Kochi Tuskers Kerala). This raises the possibility
of future IPL reorganization or variations in team tenures and participation rates. The
graph gains historical context from the addition of clubs like Pune Warriors and Kochi
Tuskers Kerala, who are no longer participating in the IPL. It draws attention to the
changes in club makeup as well as the league's general direction. Teams that have
participated in more games have probably learned a great deal from previous
encounters, which may have shaped their tactics and play. The graph might spark
conversations on the elements—like fan support, financial stability, and on-field
performance—that affect a team's capacity to survive in the Indian Premier League.

The above visual represents the top 3 players winning the player of match award every
season starting from 2008 till 2019. This can help teams identify which payer is in form
and which player is not in form so that they can negotiate a deal with the player or can
bag the player in the auction for the next edition of the cup.

Question 14- What is the analysis of each team performance based on win from 2008
to 2019

Page | 13
Here are insights that can be drawn from the win count data:-

Mumbai Indians (MI) have been the most successful team in the IPL, winning the
championship five times during the period shown. They have also been the most
consistent team, with the second-highest number of wins overall. This suggests that
MI has a strong business model and strategy that has been successful in attracting
and retaining talented players.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are the second most successful team, with three
championship wins. They have also been a very consistent team, with the third-
highest number of wins overall. CSK's success can be attributed to their loyal fan base
and their focus on building a strong team culture.
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have never won the IPL championship, but they are
one of the most popular teams in the league. They have a large fan base and have
attracted some of the biggest names in cricket. However, RCB's lack of success on the
field has led to some criticism of their management.

Deccan Chargers (DC) were one of the original IPL teams, but they were terminated in
2012 after their owners ran into financial trouble. DC's story is a cautionary tale for
other IPL teams, as it shows that even successful teams can be at risk if they are not
managed properly.

The overall increase in win counts over time suggests that the IPL is becoming more
competitive. This is good for the league, as it makes it more exciting for fans to watch.
However, it also makes it more difficult for teams to win the championship, which
could lead to increased spending on players and other costs.

Overall, the win count data from the IPL provides valuable insights into the business
of cricket. By analysing this data, teams can learn from each other's successes and
failures, and make better decisions about how to run their businesses.

Insights:-

From this win count trend over year , Sponsor can take brief look that sponsoring
which team will be more beneficial.

Question No. 15 – What is team won percentage for each season form 2008 to 2019

Page | 15
Here are some insights that can be drawn from this data:-

CSK is the most successful team in the IPL based on win percentage. This suggests
that they have a strong team culture and strategy that has been successful in
attracting and retaining talented players.

The top 5 teams in terms of win percentage have all won the IPL championship at
least once. This suggests that win percentage is a good indicator of a team's overall
success.
The bottom 5 teams in terms of win percentage have never won the IPL
championship. This suggests that win percentage is a good indicator of a team's
chances of winning the championship.

Here are some ways that this data can be beneficial to businesses:

Teams can use win percentage data to identify areas for improvement. For example, a
team with a low win percentage may want to focus on improving their batting or
bowling.

Teams can use win percentage data to set realistic goals for the season. For example,
a team with a win percentage of 50% may want to set a goal of winning 60% of their
matches in the next season.

insights:-
Sponsors can use win percentage data to decide which teams to sponsor. Sponsors
are more likely to want to sponsor teams that are successful and have a high win
percentage.

companies which are companies like Dream11, My11Circle etc. and the other kind of
