The Indian Premier League is just around the corner and there is a lot of excitement and anticipation among the fans already. The one and a half months long tournament has become a landmark event in the calendar year for many who follow cricket across the globe. In its eleventh year, the IPL promises to be bigger, better and brighter and the lovers of the most lucrative cricketing league in the world want nothing more.The IPL matches will be played at 9 venues in total. The 8 home venues of the respective franchises and Indore which is Punjab’s adopted home venue and will host 4 of Punjab’s 7 home games.Here are 7 interesting facts about VIVO IPL 2018.#7 Team with the smallest squad this yearThe Knight Riders franchise has a squad of 18 playersThe two-time champion Kolkata Knight Riders team has only 18 players in its squad this season, which makes KKR the smallest squad in the league. Interestingly, the franchise is also the only one to spend even the last penny of its 80 crore budget.This implies that Knight Riders cannot afford to have lot many injuries as the skipper may run out of options and the unit will need to find the right balance early on in the tournament. A lot will be expected from the first playing XI of the franchise.After Mitchell Starc was ruled out of the tournament due to injury, the management has been looking for an apt replacement. With new skipper Dinesh Karthik at the helm of affairs, the franchise would try and entertain the fans and win the trophy in the process.​#6 The Billionaire industrialist's son who is featuring in the IPLAryaman Birla will play for the Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2018The Rajasthan Royals have made some big purchases in the IPL this year. However, a young 20-year old Aryaman Birla stands out.Aryaman is the son of Kumar Mangalam Birla- one of India's biggest industrialist. For Aryaman, whose father's net worth is approximated at 80,369 crores, the price tag is of secondary importance as he was picked by the Rajasthan Royals for 30 lakhs.Playing alongside the greats of the game like Ajinkya Rahane and Ben Stokes is more important to the left-handed batsman. The southpaw who usually opens the innings has preferred his cricketing dream over helping his father's business pursuits.Aryaman would be itching to go out there and do well in his maiden IPL season.#5 The Australian Cricketer who mentored Sandeep LamichhaneLamichhane was mentored by Michael ClarkeSandeep Lamichhane is the first player from the Himalayan country of Nepal to play in the Indian Premier League.

Clarke saw Sandeep bowl at the Hong Kong sixes and has kept an eye on him ever since, giving him tips for improvement and providing him with constructive criticism.According to the Nepali cricketer, Clarke is humble, a kind soul and helped him improve as a cricketer and as a person.Clarke, though, was never a regular in the IPL. The Australian featured in only one IPL season (2012) scoring 98 runs in 6 matches for the now defunct franchise Pune Warriors.4 The Indian player who has played for the most number of franchisesPatel is back with the RCB this seasonParthiv Patel is the only cricketer to have played for as many as 6 franchises in the IPL when he turned up for the Mumbai Indians in 2015.The Gujarat cricketer has played for the Chennai Super Kings in 2010, Kochi Tuskers Kerala in 2011, Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2013, Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2014 and the Mumbai Indians from 2015-2017.The wicket-keeper batsman had his most successful stint with the Mumbai Indians and provided the team with brisk starts on many occasions. Patel is back with the Royal Challengers Bangalore this season.#3 Team which has world’s No. 1 ranked T20 batsmanColin Munro will play for the Delhi Daredevils this seasonIt is with Gautam Gambhir’s return to his home franchise that the Delhi Daredevils will look to break the jinx and win the tournament.

He became the third Afghan player to be bought by an IPL franchise.The Afghan cricketer is one of the youngest players in tournament’s history and the 16-year old spinner is capable of rewriting a few more records when he gets to play for the R Ashwin-led team. Zadran, being an off-spinner himself, could learn a few tricks of the trade from his skipper.The teenager who was adjudged "man of the match" on his national debut is determined to have a memorable IPL season.​#1 The lone cricketer from Kashmir in IPL 2018Manzoor Dar is the lone cricketer from Kashmir to play in IPL 2018The Kings XI Punjab squad boasts of the lone cricketer from the valley of Kashmir- Manzoor Dar. Dar’s story is one of the most inspiring tales of IPL. From working as a daily wage laborer at 60 rupees per day to signing a deal of 60 lakhs with the Punjab franchise, Manzoor Dar has seen it all.Primarily a middle-order batsman, Dar averages over 30 in the 9 T20s that he has played and would look to make a name for himself in the tournament.This might be the beginning of a better life for Manzoor and his tale is one of the reasons why IPL is what it is.

I’m only going to focus on the modern era players, as the stats available are more complete.While the title “greatest calendar month” could apply to any top player on a winning streak in one given year, the Big 3 have dominated certain months with so much regularity they own that month.Of all the greatness on display, Rafael Nadal stands out for his invincibility on clay courts. His dominance in one month has been so spectacular, we should simply rename this month after him.With that, I want to wish all the moms in the world a Happy Mother’s Day on this the tenth day of Rafa, 2020Here is the tennis calendar by player ownershipJANUARY = DJOKOVICDjokovic went undefeated in January 2008, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2019, 2020 by winning 8 Australian Opens.He also had undefeated months during his great runs in 2011, 2015, 2019, and 2020FEBRUARY = SPLITThere are no big events in February, but Federer dominated Dubai (8 titles, 5 finals), followed by Djokovic (5 titles, 1 finals)MARCH = SPLITOnly Federer and Djokovic have accomplished the Sunshine Double (Masters 1000 events at Indian Wells and Miami) among the Big 3. They are just below the Slams in terms of strength and prestige, as each event runs over two weeks, with the mens and womens events playing together.Federer went undefeated in March 2005, 2006, 2012, and 2017, with 5 titles at Indian Wells and four finals, and 4 titles at Miami and one final.Djokovic went undefeated in March 2011, 2014, 2015, 2016, with 5 titles at Indian Wells and one final and 6 titles at Miami and one final.Nadal has won 3 times at Indian Wells, reached 3 other finals, and reached the Miami finals 5 times.APRIL = NADALNadal has won the Barcelona-Monte Carlo double 10 times.MAY = NADALNadal went undefeated in May 2005, 2006, 2010 and 2013.He only lost one match in 2007, 2008, 2012, 2014, 2017, 2018, and 2019. That span includes winning 9 titles at the Rome Masters 1000, 5 titles at the Madrid Masters 1000, and includes the start of his journey to 12 French Open titles.JUNE = FEDERERFederer went undefeated in June 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2009. During this run, he won 3 titles at Halle, 4 Wimbledons, 1 French Open, and was en route to win another Wimbledon.However, with the change in the tennis calendar, pushing the second week of Roland Garros into June, and the second week of Wimbledon into July, he doesn’t have the same record as Nadal, given his 0–6 clay court record against the Spaniard, losing in five finals and one semifinal.Federer only lost one match in June in 2008, 2017, and 2019, winning one Wimbledon, two Wimbledon finals, and two titles at Halle.JULY = SPLITBoth Federer and Djokovic have won Wimbledon multiple times when that was their only tournament for the month.AUGUST = FEDERERFederer was undefeated in 2005 and lost on one match in 2006 and 2007. During this span, he won 3 US Opens, 2 Cincinnati Masters and 1 Canadian Masters 1000 event.SEPTEMBER = SPLITEach member of the Big 3 has won multiple US Opens.OCTOBER = SPLITFederer has owned the Basel 500, his home tournament, winning 7 titles and reaching 3 finals. But his record in the two late season Masters 1000 events isn’t as dominant: 2 Shanghai titles and 1 final, and 1 Paris title.Djokovic has the edge this month by virtue of his superior performance in Masters 1000 events, with 4 Shanghai titles, 5 Paris titles and 1 Paris final.NOVEMBER = SPLITThis part of the calendar is sparse, but features the ATP Finals.Federer has the edge with 6 ATP Finals titles and 4 finals.Djokovic follows with 5 ATP Final titles and 2 finalsDECEMBER = REST
