📌 Project Overview

This project performs Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) on the Indian Premier League (IPL) dataset using Python.

The objective is to uncover meaningful patterns from historical IPL matches by analyzing team performance, player statistics, venues, toss decisions, and match outcomes.

Using Python libraries such as Pandas, NumPy, Matplotlib, and Seaborn, the dataset is cleaned, transformed, and visualized to answer important cricket analytics questions.
