There are over 250 Index Funds in India and picking the best one for your passive investing portfolio can be quite the task. And so, in this video, we narrow down from a pool of 153 equity-oriented index funds to just 11 index funds that I'll like in my long-term index fund portfolio. I've call this my IPL, my Index Premier League because just like an IPL team where one needs the right combination of batsmen and bowlers for a winning season, an investment portfolio requires the right mix of index funds to ensure robust performance.

In the creation of this video, I delved into the performance of index funds, looking at trailing, rolling and even annual performance as I looked at 4 categories of index funds:
1. Broad-market index funds such as the Nifty 50, Nifty Next 50, Nifty Midcap 150 etc. that are market cap based
2. Strategy index funds such as the Nifty 200 Momentum 30, Nifty Alpha 50, Nifty Midcap 150 Momentum 50, Nifty 50 Value 20 etc. that are based on single or multiple factors; these are also called factor-based or smart beta index funds
3. Sectoral and thematic index funds panning areas like banking, financial services, auto, IT, healthcare, pharma, realty, housing, manufacturing, infrastructure etc. These indices often go through business cycles, resulting in fluctuating performance
4. International index funds such as the Nasdaq 100 and Hang Seng Tech Index which ensures our index fund portfolio has global exposure and diversification
