The 2013 season of the Indian Premier League,
abbreviated as IPL 6 or IPL 2013 will be held from 3 April to 26 May 2013. The
opening ceremony will be held at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata on 2 April
2013. This will be the first season with PepsiCo as the title sponsor. The
Kolkata Knight Riders are the defending champions, having won the 2012 season by
defeating the Chennai Super Kings.
PepsiCo replaced DLF Ltd as the title sponsor starting with the 2013 season. DLF
did not renew their contract after their initial five-year contract, for 250
crore, ended with the previous season. PepsiCo's contract is 396.8 crore for
five years, ending with the 2017 season.
Deccan Chargers, champions of 2009 Indian Premier League, became the second team
to be terminated from the IPL after Kochi Tuskers Kerala. The owners failed to
save the team after several attempts were made with the Bombay High Court and
Supreme Court of India. Immediately after the Chargers' termination, the BCCI
invited bidders for a replacement team also based in Hyderabad. It was announced
on 25 October 2012 that Sun TV Network won the bid at 85.05 crore per year. The
new team was named the Sunrisers Hyderabad.
In October 2012, the teams were allowed to release any number of their players
from their contracts to reduce their player costs. The released players would
have the option of entering the auction. The players' auction was held on 3
February 2013, where 37 players were sold.
No Pakistani players were included in the auction. Availability of Bangladeshi
players was put in doubt when the Bangladesh Cricket Board considered not
issuing the players with the No Objection Certificates
