With the first men’s T20 international being played only in 2005 and the first World Cup in the format being held in 2007, the last decade was the first full 10 years in which the format has existed.
While international T20s are plugged into almost every series and World Cups are a huge draw, the format has been especially popular in league forms, with a number of tournaments now being held around the world.
Indian Premier League (IPL), the first edition of which was held in 2008, continues to be the most popular involved and the entertainment value it provides.
The IPL has had its share of laws, what with match fixing and the ensuing ban of two franchises for two years. Despite the negatives, the IPL continues to be hugely popular with the masses, and continues to grab a lot of eyeballs.
In terms of results, Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings have proved to be most successful, winning four and three titles respectively so far.
