It's that time of the year again when most of the cricketing world stops in its tracks to watch the biggest show in cricket outside the World Cup - the Indian Premier League.

This year's edition returns to its traditional slot in the calendar and location, with the tournament restricted to a few venues in Mumbai and Pune in western India in an effort to maintain health protocols effectively.

This year, two new franchises have been added, taking the number of teams to 10. Also, a mega auction was held earlier in the year with most players moving to new bases. It will be a new experience for franchises and fans, which can only add to the excitement.

The IPL has come a long way since its inaugural edition in 2008. So how well do you remember the IPL over the years? Take our quiz below to find out.
