🗒️ Description: Since launching in 2008, the INDIAN PREMIER LEAGUE has influenced everything in MEN'S CRICKET (not only INDIAN CRICKET TEAM, but also every other teams too), from the way it is played, to the money invested in it and how the global calendar is structured. In just 15 years it has morphed into a COMMERCIAL MACHINE and is now the WORLD'S SECOND MOST VALUABLE SPORTS LEAGUE after USA'S NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE or NFL. But there was one thing that's been missing? A female equivalent. So, in 2023, a WOMEN'S IPL aka WOMEN'S PREMIER LEAGUE (WPL) was launched, pretty much similar to Men's version, to compete with WBBL or WOMEN'S THE HUNDRED. Five teams participated in the tournament - ROYAL CHALLENGERS BANGALORE WOMEN (RCBW), MUMBAI INDIANS WOMEN (MIW), DELHI CAPITALS WOMEN (DCW), UP WARRIORZ & GUJARAT GIANTS. Three of the teams are owned by IPL owners and rest two are by other conglomerates. BCCI, INDIAN CRICKET BOARD laid a stage for the women to showcase their skills, and the tournament even paid the sums women's cricket never heard before. SMRITI MANDHANA became the highest-paid player, followed by ASHLEIGH GARDNER, NATALIE SCIVER-BURNT, SHAFALI VERMA, JEMIMAH RODRIGUES. Other top female cricketers like HARMANPREET KAUR, ELLYSE PERRY, M. KAPP, MEG LANNING, SOPHIE DEVINE, ALYSSA HEALY also got picked up by other teams. Now the question is, HOW MUCH MONEY DOES WOMEN'S PREMIER LEAGUE REALLY MAKE? IS WPL EVEN PROFITABLE IN COUNTRY LIKE INDIA? And, the most important thing, IS THE LEAGUE SUCCESSFUL IN INDIA & IS WPL SUSTAINABLE IN THE LONG RUN? However, only time can tell the answers. For now, THE WOMEN'S PREMIER LEAGUE IS EMPOWERING WOMEN ATHLETES, people are recognising them, the names are be comings popular within every household. And, with the conclusion of the 2024 season, RCB HAS WON THEIR FIRST EVER TROPHY ('EE SALA CUP NAMDE' BECAME A REALITY). In the upcoming season, we anticipate even greater grandeur, which is likely to pave the way for women cricketers with more ease and opportunity.
