About the IPL Dataset
The Indian Premier League (IPL) is a professional T20 cricket league in India contested during April-May of every year by teams representing Indian cities. It is the most-attended cricket league in the world and ranks sixth among all the sports leagues. It has teams with players from around the world and is very competitive and entertaining with a lot of close matches between teams.
The IPL and other cricket related datasets are available at cricsheet.org. Feel free to visit the website and explore the data by yourself as exploring new sources of data is one of the interesting activities a data scientist gets to do.
So let's get started with the first IPL match that was played in 2008. It turned out to be a run fest. Remember, Brendon McCullum (BAZ) had scored a century?
Let's explore the first match data to find out what happened in the match.
