The 2016 season of the Indian Premier League, abbreviated as IPL 9 or Vivo IPL 2016, is the ninth season of the IPL, a Twenty20 cricket league established by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in 2007. The tournament is being played between 9 April and 29 May 2016. The season has two new franchises, the Gujarat Lions and Rising Pune Supergiants based in the cities of Rajkot and Pune respectively. These teams replaced the Chennai Super Kings and the Rajasthan Royals, both of which have been suspended for two years up to 2017.

The schedule for the season was announced on 10 March 2016. In all there will be 60 matches played, including 56 league stage matches and four play-off matches.[1]

The 2016 season will be the first IPL season to use LED stumps. The number of IPL fan parks, which was 16 during the 2015 season, will be increased to 36 (including one fan park in New Jersey).[2]

Background

On 14 July 2015, the RM Lodha committee suspended the owners of the Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals franchises for a period of two years on charges of spot-fixing and betting during the 2013 IPL season. This meant that the two teams could not play in the 2016 and 2017 IPL seasons.[3] The Board of Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed that two new teams will replace them for the next two seasons of the IPL.

In October 2015, PepsiCo withdrew as the title sponsor of the IPL, terminating a five-year deal which was to end in 2017. Chinese smartphone manufacturer Vivo Electronics was awarded the title sponsorship for the 2016 and 2017 seasons.[4]

In November 2015, the BCCI shortlisted nine cities for the new franchises to be based in, leaving out Jaipur (home of Rajasthan Royals) and Kochi (home of the now defunct Kochi Tuskers Kerala) for unknown reasons.[5] The nine cities shortlisted were: Chennai, Dharamsala, Indore, Nagpur, Pune, Rajkot, Ranchi and Visakhapatnam.[6] The new franchises were allocated using a reverse auction process, with companies which bid the lowest share of the central revenue pool becoming the owners of the new teams.[5] On 3 December, it was reported that twelve companies collected tender documents for the bidding process.[7]

On 8 December 2015, it was announced that New Rising, a company led by Sanjiv Goenka, and Intex Technologies had won the bidding rights to the two new teams. New Rising decided to have their team based in Pune while Intex chose Rajkot as the home of its team.[8] The two franchises picked five players each from the squads of Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals at a player draft on 15 December 2015. Each franchise was allocated a purse of ₹66 crore to buy the players for their squad at the draft and players auction.[7]

Maharashtra water crisis

On 6 April 2016, amid a drought situation in the state of Maharashtra,[9] in which three venues were supposed to host a total of 20 IPL matches in the 2016 season, the Bombay High Court questioned the "criminal wastage"[10] of water being supplied to the three stadiums. The drought has been described as one of the "worst-ever droughts" to effect the state.[9] An estimated 60 lakh litres of water were to be used at the three venues to maintain the pitches, with 40 lakh litres being used at the Wankhede Stadium, the site of eight matches.[11] The High Court filed a public interest litigation and suggested shifting of matches to "some other state where water is in abundance." The High Court questioned the BCCI about whether "people are more important or your IPL matches".[11] The BCCI argued that the water being used at the venues was tanker water and not potable.[9]

On 8 April 2016, the Chief Minister of Maharashtra Devendra Fadnavis declared that potable water will not be supplied to the venues and added "even if IPL matches are shifted, we have no problem."[10] On 9 April 2016, hours before the season's opening match, the Mumbai Cricket Association claimed that the water being used at the Wankhede Stadium was bought from private operators and not Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation.[12]

Opening ceremony

The opening ceremony was held on 8 April 2016 from 19:30 IST at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Stadium in Mumbai. It featured performances from Major Lazer, Yo Yo Honey Singh, Ranveer Singh, Katrina Kaif, Jacqueline Fernandez among others.[13] Dwayne Bravo, a member of the West Indies' 2016 World Twenty20 winning team, performed the "Champion Dance", which, according to the IPL chairman Rajeev Shukla, was supposed to be the "special attraction" of the ceremony.[2]

Venues

Ten venues were selected to host the league stage matches.[14] Bangalore will host Qualifier 1, Pune will be host to the Eliminator match and Qualifier 2 and Mumbai will host the Final.[15]
