Editorial Policy

Last updated:

Last Updated: May 17, 2026

This Editorial Policy describes the principles, standards, and processes that guide content creation at IPL Daily. Our goal is to provide cricket fans with accurate, timely, and original IPL coverage they can trust.

1. Mission and Editorial Focus

IPL Daily is an independent cricket publication focused exclusively on the Indian Premier League. We cover match analysis, fantasy cricket strategy, player profiles, statistical records, schedules, points tables, pitch reports, and IPL history. Our editorial mission is to provide cricket fans with thoughtful, data-driven, and accessible IPL coverage that goes beyond simple score updates.

2. Editorial Independence

IPL Daily is editorially independent. Our editorial decisions — which stories to cover, what analysis to publish, which players to highlight — are made solely by our editorial team based on news value and reader interest. They are not influenced by:

  • Advertising partners or sponsors
  • Affiliate relationships with fantasy cricket platforms
  • Personal or commercial relationships with IPL franchises or players
  • Any third party offering payment, gifts, or favors in exchange for coverage

If we ever publish sponsored content, it is clearly labeled as “Sponsored” or “Advertisement” and is segregated from our editorial coverage.

3. Sources and Fact-Checking

3.1 Primary Data Sources

For statistical accuracy, we rely on:

  • The official IPL website (iplt20.com) for scores, schedules, and match results.
  • ESPN Cricinfo and Cricbuzz for player statistics and career records.
  • Howstat and IPL T20 for advanced and historical statistics.
  • Official IPL team social media accounts for squad announcements and team news.
  • Direct quotes from press conferences, post-match interviews, and official press releases.

3.2 Fact-Checking Process

Every article published on IPL Daily goes through the following fact-checking process before publication:

  1. Verification: All statistics, scores, dates, and factual claims are verified against at least two independent sources.
  2. Source Attribution: Where appropriate, we link or cite the original source so readers can verify themselves.
  3. Editorial Review: Match previews, player profiles, and analytical pieces are reviewed for tone, accuracy, and clarity before publication.
  4. Post-Publication Monitoring: We monitor articles for reader feedback and breaking news that may require updates.

4. Originality and Plagiarism

All articles published on IPL Daily are original work created by our writers and contributors. We do not:

  • Copy, scrape, or republish content from other websites without permission.
  • Translate articles from other sources without attribution and authorization.
  • Use AI-generated content as the final published version without substantial human editing, fact-checking, and editorial judgment.

If our writers reference data, quotes, or analysis from another publication, we provide clear attribution and links to the original source where possible.

5. Use of AI Tools

We may use AI-assisted tools for tasks such as initial drafting, grammar checking, data formatting, and headline suggestions. However, every article published on IPL Daily is:

  • Reviewed, edited, and fact-checked by a human editor.
  • Re-written to reflect our editorial voice and house style.
  • Verified against primary sources before publication.

We do not publish raw AI-generated content. All articles carry an author byline indicating human editorial responsibility.

6. Bylines and Author Accountability

Every article on IPL Daily carries a byline identifying the author responsible for the content. Author pages include a brief professional bio and the writer’s areas of expertise. This ensures accountability — readers know who wrote each piece and can evaluate the author’s credentials.

7. Updates and Corrections

7.1 Updates

Many articles on IPL Daily — particularly match previews, points tables, and standings — are updated regularly to reflect the latest match results. Articles that have been substantially updated carry a visible “Last Updated” date in addition to the original publish date.

7.2 Corrections

If we publish a factual error and become aware of it, we correct the article promptly and add a transparent correction notice at the bottom of the page when the error is significant. For details on how we handle corrections, see our Correction Policy.

8. Fantasy Cricket Editorial Standards

Our fantasy cricket content (Dream11 predictions, captain picks, team suggestions) follows additional editorial standards:

  • Predictions are framed as analysis and informed opinion, not as guaranteed winning advice.
  • Every fantasy article carries a visible disclaimer about financial risk, age restriction (18+), and legal restrictions in certain Indian states.
  • We do not publish content that promotes illegal betting, satta, or unregulated gambling.
  • We never claim that any specific fantasy team will win.
  • We do not provide tips that rely on insider information, leaked team news, or unverified rumors.

9. Comments and Reader Engagement

We welcome reader engagement through comments, emails, and corrections. All comments are moderated to remove:

  • Spam, links to unrelated sites, or promotional material.
  • Abusive, hateful, or defamatory language.
  • Off-topic content unrelated to the article.
  • Personal attacks on players, writers, or other commenters.

Reader-submitted opinions in comments do not reflect the views of IPL Daily or our editorial team.

10. Conflicts of Interest

Our writers are required to disclose any personal or financial relationship that could create a conflict of interest with the topic they are covering — for example, ownership of stakes in fantasy cricket platforms, paid relationships with player management groups, or close personal connections to teams or franchises. Where a conflict exists, the writer is reassigned or the disclosure is made transparent within the article.

11. Diversity and Representation

IPL Daily aims to cover all ten IPL franchises fairly and to give due attention to overseas players, emerging talent, and women’s cricket where relevant. We strive for balanced coverage that reflects the breadth of the IPL ecosystem rather than focusing only on the most popular teams or players.

12. Reader Feedback and Suggestions

We value feedback from our readers. If you have suggestions, story ideas, or concerns about our editorial coverage, please reach out to contact@ipldaily.com. Genuine feedback helps us improve.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Editorial Policy from time to time. The current version will always be available on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.
