The Indian Premier League (IPL) season 10 commenced on April 5 at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad where the defending Champions Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) took the runners-up of the previous season Royal Challengers Bangalore and began their journey with a superb victory.

The tournament commenced without many star players including Virat Kohli, R Ashwin, Murali Vijay, Ravindra Jadeja, Dwayne Bravo, AB de Villiers, KL Rahul etc. as all of them were injured and under recovery. However, some of them joined their respective IPL squads while some of them ruled out as they couldn’t recover.

This IPL is considered as the most special edition for many reasons. Firstly, the grand Indian cricket tournament has completed 10 years and has provided a stage to numerous young talents to showcase their skills. Secondly, this year, players from Afghanistan (Mohammed Nabi and Rashid Khan) and UAE (Chirag Shah) made their debuts in this tournament and played phenomenally well. Especially, Rashid Khan, who not only bamboozled many big players like Brendon McCullum and Rohit Sharma in his first over of every game but also became the first one to grab the Purple cap in the tournament.

Till now, the competition has been full of entertainment and classic cricket skills were witnessed in almost all the games. Along with serving many neck-to-neck affairs, the tournament has also proved that this T20 tournament has been the most favourite cricket championship of this country.
