I think Abhinav is right. At first instance, we have to treat it as a contract and if it is a contract then 194C to be attracted.
194E is for payments to non-resident sportsmen or sports associations. This section is related to the players engaged through the sports associations of foreign courntries. In IPL the contracts with the players and not with associations.
