The upcoming Indian Premier League [http://www.timesnownews.com/tagresults/ipl/400] (IPL) season is still months away. But the news factory has not stopped pumping. The biggest news was the comeback of Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings franchises after two years’ suspension for match-fixing [http://www.essentiallysports.com/csk-rr-return-ipl-2018-cost-gl-rps/]. The owners met on Tuesday to discuss various topics ranging from players’ retention policy, Right To Match, and auction venue. Then something interesting popped up, Mid season IPL 2018 transfer. IPL 2018 [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/ipl-finances-1-300x200.jpg]IPL There was no consensus on the majority of topics but reports have emerged that changes are in store. The IPL governing council may introduce mid-tournament player transfer window available for franchise owners. This transfer rule allows a player who is not in the playing eleven for the first seven matches of the season, to be transferred if any other franchises show interest. A BCCI source said “There have been instances where a player gets only a few games, and that too towards the business end of the tournament, or warms the bench throughout the season. A team buys a certain player in the auction but later finds it difficult to accommodate him in the playing XI due to their combination or team balance. This proposal is a win-win situation for players and teams. The idea was discussed in the meeting and all owners/team representatives seemed convinced about it. The modalities will be worked out as soon as the IPL body accepts the proposal”. However, a decision is yet to be taken. In Tuesday’s meet, the owners unanimously rejected former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly’s proposal of making IPL a 10-team tournament. Including Chennai and Rajasthan, there are only 8 teams in the league. In the absence of the afforementioned, the Gujarat Loins and the Rising Pune Supergiant teams took their place. When Chennai and Rajasthan announced their return, the Gujarat and Pune franchises were dissolved. Ganguly may have been hoping to retain Gujarat and Pune for IPL 2018, sadly, it wasn’t meant to be. A Mid season IPL 2018 transfer option on the cards could be an interesting proposition if i do say so myself. 

On Tuesday, all the IPL team owners convened to discuss changes to the structure
for the IPL. One of the suggestions was a mid season IPL 2018 transfer.

IPL History

IPL 2019 is almost upon us and the fans are gearing up for season 12 of the cash-rich tournament. This year, 8 teams will be contesting the league and vying for the title.

The series kicks off on the 23rd of March, through April and ends on May 19th. The opening match will be defending champions, Chennai Super Kings against the Royal Challengers Bangalore at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium.

The Super Kings are currently the most successful IPL team along with the Mumbai Indians, with three wins each. Kolkata are next with 2 wins. The inaugural winners were the Rajasthan Royals back in 2008.

Tournament Format?

The IPL schedule 2019 is planned in such a way that only the dates for the first two weeks has been released. However, owing to the 2019 general elections, there may be further changes.

Just like in the English Premier League and every other football league, each team plays their opponent twice. Once in their own home ground and once in their opponent's home ground. In simpler terms, CSK are facing RCB in Chennai on Saturday. The next time the two meet, it will be in Bangalore.

However, with the general elections looming, it is more than likely that this format will be thrown for a loop.?Instead, some matches will be held at neutral venues for security reasons.

Teams

There are 8 teams contesting the 2019 IPL season. They are, the Chennai Super Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders, Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Kings XI Punjab, Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals. Delhi were formerly known as the Daredevils, but ahead of the coming season, they felt a need for a change.

There were also a fair number of former teams as well, who have now become defunct. They are, the Deccan Chargers, who were succeeded by the Sunrisers Hyderabad. They were part of the original teams, but dissolved after 4 years.

Next came the Kochi Tuskers Kerala, who joined in 2010 lasted only till 2011. The Pune Warrior India debuted around the same time as Kochi but managed to hold out until 2014 before dissolving. Then in 2016, after Chennai and Rajasthan were banned for 2 years, the Gujarat Lions and the Rising Pune Supergiant arose from their ashes. Sadly, they too were dissolved when CSK and RR returned to the fray in 2018.

Locations

There was a lot of speculation surrounding hosting the IPL amid the Indian general elections. Rumours were abuzz that IPL 2019 could be held abroad just like in 2009 and 2014 respectively.

However, the BCCI later confirmed that the tournament will remain in India alongside the elections. Their plan is to schedule a few matches on neutral venues on certain days to avoid conflict.

One thing is for sure, the crescendo surrounding the league will soon reach a fever pitch and the fans are eager to get things started.

How will things pan out this season? Will CSK or MI break the deadlock? Will KKR make it a three-way tie? Will it be some team else? Will RCB finally lift the trophy? Will the name change really mean a change of fortune for Delhi Capitals?
