IPL 11

IPL 2011 is eagerly expected as IPL 2010 was a huge hit. IPL 3 had 8 teams playing against each other.It was initially thought that IPL 4 would have 10 teams competing .But now only 8 teams would play. Kochi team’s fate hangs in balance. This edition is going to be much different from other editions as we are going to miss Lalit Modi . Lalit Modi is known for his tweets causing trouble to himself as well as Shashi Tharoor.

Indian Premier League is already becoming so hot and powerful. Many politicians , Businessmen are trying to prove their mettle in Indian cricket Board. Politicians cutting across party lines are mad about Indian Premier League involvement. NCP supremo Sharad Pawar is the head in present scenario. Days of Dalmia are long gone. It appears difficult for a comeback of Dalmia or AC muthiah.

The latest development in this season is that The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has decided to give 10% of foreign players’ fee to the respective national boards. However the players are in protest over this issue.
IPL 2011 – Season 4:

Season 3 was under the leadership of Lalit Modi , however Season 4 is going to be under the leadership of Chirayu Amin. He has already promised a bigger and better IPL and has promised to run it in a transparent manner. This year there was a lot of allegation of match fixing . BCCI and its pet Indian Premier League came under Income Tax raids.
