The '''2016 season''' of the '''[[Indian Premier League]]''', also known as '''IPL 9''', and branded as '''[[Vivo (smartphone)|Vivo]] IPL 2016''' for sponsorship reasons, was the ninth season of the IPL, a professional [[Twenty20 cricket]] league established by the [[Board of Control for Cricket in India]] (BCCI) in 2007. The season began on 9 April 2016, and concluded on 29 May 2016 with the playing of the finals match between [[Royal Challengers Bangalore]] and [[Sunrisers Hyderabad]] at [[M. Chinnaswamy Stadium]] in [[Bangalore]].

The 2016 season was the first IPL season to use LED [[stump (cricket)|stumps]]. Following the suspension of [[Chennai Super Kings]] and [[Rajasthan Royals]] for two years over a [[2013 Indian Premier League spot-fixing and betting case|spot-fixing and betting scandal]], the IPL allocated spots for two new franchises to take their place. The process would result in the establishment of the [[Gujarat Lions]] and [[Rising Pune Supergiants]] in 2016.

The championship was won by [[Sunrisers Hyderabad]], marking the [[Hyderabad]] franchise's second IPL title, with [[Ben Cutting]] declared the man of the match in the final. [[Virat Kohli]] of [[Royal Challengers Bangalore]] was named the most valuable player of the tournament, and [[Mustafizur Rahman]] of Sunrisers Hyderabad was named the emerging player of the season. [[Virat Kohli]] of [[Royal Challengers Bangalore]] was the tournament's leading run-scorer with 973 runs and [[Bhuvneshwar Kumar]] of [[Sunrisers Hyderabad]] was the leading wicket-taker of the tournament with 23 wickets. Ever since the introduction of [[page playoff system]],this is the only edition where a team ending outside of the top 2 at the end of league stage won a IPL title and only the second edition along with [[2012 Indian Premier League|2012]] where one of the top 2 teams missed out on a spot in the final.

== Format ==
Eight teams contested the season. Two teams, [[Rising Pune Supergiants]] and [[Gujarat Lions]], based in [[Pune]] and [[Rajkot]] were new to the tournament, replacing the [[Chennai Super Kings]] and [[Rajasthan Royals]] franchises which had been suspended until 2017.

The schedule for the tournament was published on 10 March 2016. The league stage, consisting of 56 matches, took place between 9 April and 22 May 2016. The top four teams qualified for the play-off stage, with the final being held in [[Bangalore]] on 29 May.

== Background ==
On 14 July 2015, the RM Lodha committee suspended the owners of the [[Chennai Super Kings]] and [[Rajasthan Royals]] franchises for a period of two years on charges of [[2013 Indian Premier League spot-fixing and betting case|spot-fixing and betting]] during the 2013 IPL season. This meant that the two teams could not play in the 2016 and 2017 IPL seasons.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/story/898461.html|title= CSK, RR owners suspended for two years |date= 14 July 2015 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=14 July 2015 }}</ref> The [[Board of Control of Cricket in India]] (BCCI) confirmed that two new teams will replace them for the next two seasons of the IPL.

In October 2015, [[PepsiCo]] withdrew as the title sponsor of the IPL, terminating a five-year deal which was to end in 2017. Chinese smartphone manufacturer [[Vivo (smartphone)|Vivo]] was awarded the title sponsorship for the 2016 and 2017 seasons.<ref>{{cite web|title=IPL rings in Vivo Mobiles|url=http://www.thehindu.com/sport/ipl-rings-in-vivo-mobiles/article7778268.ece|work=The Hindu|access-date=4 December 2015}}</ref>

In November 2015, the BCCI shortlisted nine cities for the new franchises to be based in, leaving out [[Jaipur]] (home of Rajasthan Royals) and [[Kochi]] (home of the now defunct [[Kochi Tuskers Kerala]]) for unknown reasons.<ref name=dec8>{{cite news |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/story/938615.html|title=Two new IPL teams by December 8 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=9 November 2015}}</ref> The nine cities shortlisted were: [[Chennai]], [[Cuttack]], [[Dharamshala]], [[Indore]], [[Nagpur]], [[Pune]], [[Rajkot]], [[Ranchi]] and [[Visakhapatnam]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Manohar positive on Indo-Pak series|url=http://www.thehindu.com/sport/cricket/manohar-positive-on-indopak-series/article7862823.ece|work=The Hindu|access-date=4 December 2015}}</ref> The new franchises were allocated using a reverse auction process, with companies which bid the lowest share of the central revenue pool becoming the owners of the new teams.<ref name=dec8 /> On 3 December, it was reported that twelve companies collected tender documents for the bidding process.<ref name=eco />

On 8 December 2015, it was announced that New Rising, a company led by [[Sanjiv Goenka]], and [[Intex Technologies]] had won the bidding rights to the two new teams. New Rising decided to have their team based in [[Rising Pune Supergiants|Pune]] while Intex chose [[Gujarat Lions|Rajkot]] as the home of its team.<ref name="Teams Announced">{{cite news|last1=C|first1=Aprameya|title=Pune and Rajkot announced as 2 new franchises in IPL|url=http://www.oneindia.com/sports/cricket/pune-rajkot-2-new-franchises-ipl-for-2-years-1949400.html|access-date=8 December 2015|work=One India|date=8 December 2015}}</ref> The two franchises picked five players each from the squads of Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals at a player draft on 15 December 2015.
