"It is not just marketing hype. There is significant substance with top players in the teams. It is a good product which is now getting marketing support. Indian cricket is certainly headed in the same direction as football in the UK and baseball in the US."¹

- Sridhar Samu, Professor, Indian School of Business, Hyderabad, in March 2008.

The IPL Brand

In early May 2009, the UK-based brand valuation consultancy, Brand Finance Plc², valued the Indian Premier League (IPL) enterprise at US$ 2 billion. Launched in April 2008, IPL had created an innovative format³ of Twenty 20 (T20) cricket which differed significantly from the way the decades-old sport had been played. The new format was well received by audiences the world over.

IPL being the first such sporting event in India, it was considered a marketing success in creating hype and translating this into revenues for the stakeholders.
