Indian Premier League (IPL) 2017 ended with a bang on Sunday, May 21, with Mumbai Indians crowned as the champions in a last-over thriller against Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS). Now, with the lucrative cricket league over for the calendar year, it's time for other top sports league competitions like Pro Kabaddi League and Indian Super League to take over.
