The sixth season of Indian Premier League (IPL 6/ IPL 2013) will run from 3rd April to 26th May 2013 with Kolkata and Chennai hosting the playoffs. PepsiCo replaced DLF Ltd as the title sponsor. Kolkata’s Eden Gardens will host the first match as well as the final as they were the champions of the 2012 season. Nine teams would be playing in the sixth season. In this season Deccan Chargers team terminated from the IPL and Sun TV Network won the bid at INR85.05 crore per year and the new team was named the Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Due to protests in the state of Tamil Nadu and the controversy arising from the actions of the Sri Lankan government, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, Jayalalitha has requested the the Prime Minister of India, Dr. Manmohan Singh not to allow any Sri Lankan players, umpires or any other support staff to play in IPL matches to be held in Chennai.
