The 2013 season of the Indian Premier League, abbreviated as IPL 6 or IPL 2013, is the sixth season of the Indian Premier League, established by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in 2007. The tournament is featuring nine teams and is held from 3 April to 26 May 2013.[1] The opening ceremony was held at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata on 2 April 2013. This is the first season with PepsiCo as the title sponsor. The Kolkata Knight Riders are the defending champions, having won the 2012 season by defeating the Chennai Super Kings.

Background

Sponsorship

PepsiCo replaced DLF Ltd as the title sponsor starting with the 2013 season. DLF did not renew their contract after their initial five-year contract, for 250 crore, ended with the previous season. PepsiCo's contract is 396.8 crore for five years, ending with the 2017 season.[2][3] In response to questions about the higher sponsorship costs compared to DLF's, a representative of PepsiCo said, "Our estimate is that we will get five to six times the value of the money we paid." However, Brand Finance had assessed the IPL's brand value to have fallen from $4.1 billion in 2010 to $2.9 billion in 2012, attributed to the decline in television ratings over the two years.[4]

Termination of Deccan Chargers

Deccan Chargers, champions of the 2009 Indian Premier League, became the second team to be terminated from the IPL after Kochi Tuskers Kerala. The owners failed to save the team after several attempts were made with the Bombay High Court and Supreme Court of India. Immediately after the Chargers' termination, the BCCI invited bidders for a replacement team also based in Hyderabad. It was announced on 25 October 2012 that Sun TV Network won the bid at 85.05 crore per year.[5] The new team was named the Sunrisers Hyderabad.[6]

Personnel changes

In October 2012, the teams were allowed to release any number of their players from their contracts to reduce their player costs. The released players would have the option of entering the auction. The players' auction was held on 3 February 2013,[7] where 37 players were sold.[8]

Overseas participation

Availability of Bangladeshi players was put in doubt when the Bangladesh Cricket Board considered not issuing the players with the No Objection Certificates they needed to participate in the tournament. Their deliberation was due to the tournament's dates clashing with the Bangladesh cricket team in Zimbabwe in 2013.[9] Regardless, both affected players, Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal, missed the start of the tournament due to injury.

Despite the progress on the restoration of cricketing relations between India and Pakistan after the Pakistan national cricket team toured India in December 2012 and January 2013, no Pakistani players were included in the auction.[10][11] Several South Africans missed the start of the tournament to play in the knockout stage of the Ram Slam T20 Challenge.[12]

Shortly before the start of the season, the IPL governing council ruled that Sri Lankan cricketers and match officials will not participate in any matches held in Chennai.[13] This was a result of the growing political tensions concerning the ethnic conflict between the Sinhalese and Sri Lankan Tamils. The anti-Sinhalaese sentiments from the people of Tamil Nadu raised security concerns for Sri Lankan involvement. The decision was made after Jayalalithaa, the chief minister of Tamil Nadu, wrote to the Prime Minister of India requesting the ban.[14]

Other than the Chennai Super Kings, the franchises were not in support of the decision as they believed it offered Chennai an added advantage in their home matches. Chennai's Sri Lankan players hold secondary positions in their team while some Sri Lankans in other teams play key roles and their absence in those matches would affect their team strategies. Another concern was with how the decision did not follow the precedence of moving the matches to a different venue.[15]

Opening ceremony

Salt Lake Stadium, Kolkata, the location of the opening ceremony

The opening ceremony was held at the largest stadium in India, and the second largest stadium in the world by capacity named the Salt Lake Stadium or Yuva Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata on 2 April 2013. All nine teams, led by their captains, took the "MCC Spirit of Cricket" pledge. Chief Minister of West Bengal Mamata Banerjee was also present along with the ceremony featured live performances of American rapper Pitbull and Indian film stars Shahrukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone.[16][17][18]

Venues

12 venues were selected to host the matches, with Raipur and Ranchi hosting for the first time in the tournament's history.[19] In the playoff stage, Chennai will host the Qualifer 1 and Eliminator while Kolkata will host the Qualifer 2 and Final on account of being the home venues of the runners-up and champions of the 2012 season respectively.[20]
