The main purpose of the IPL is to provide funds to the BCCI, so that they can develop the domestic cricket tournaments. IPL was always a business and will be so for the remainder of its lifespan. They are considering increasing the number of teams to 9, and a number of industry heavyweights (especially Adani and Goenka) are making their moves. Let's see whether the new team will be permitted from 2021 or not.

The real concept was big money and Lalit Modi knew that they could make huge money with it and i am sure he pocketed some and hence he was under the scanner and then in exile and with India winning the inaugural T20 World Cup it was the perfect timing to launch the IPL and it was a big success and the entire franchise format was stolen from the ICL and BCCI along with ICC killed the tournament entire private tournament and BCCI started their own Cheesy

.

This is real steal because ICL was on and they started this all with huge money and good management some reall big names was also doing good marketing for them as BCCI check first edition they start their own plan as Lalit Modi was also really good even he was some corrupt and greedy but started very good on good time which is now Gold Mine for BCCI after Australian Cricket Board BCCI mean business these two boards are doing all this for good money but India is going with big advantage of big market in cricket.
