The 2011 Indian Premier League season, abbreviated as IPL 4 or the 2011 IPL, will be the fourth season of the Indian Premier League, established by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in 2007. The tournament will be hosted by India and the opening ceremony will be held in Chepauk Stadium, Chennai, the home venue for 2010 Champions Chennai Super Kings. Fixtures have not been decided yet. The season will run from April 8 to May 22 2011.[1] The season saw the addition of new teams the Sahara Pune Warriors and Kochi.

Format

With the introduction of two new teams, a new ten-team format was created. This new format consists of 74 matches and was introduced as retaining the previous format would result in 94 matches, significantly greater than the 60 matches from the previous season, where teams compete in a double round-robin tournament. The knockout stage was changed to a playoff format. If a match ends in a tie, a Super Over will be played to determine the winner.

The ten teams are divided into two groups of five. In the group stage, each team plays 14 games: facing the other four teams in their group two times each (one home and one away game), four teams in the other group once, and the remaining team two times. A random draw would determine the groups and who plays whom across the groups once and twice. A four-game playoffs stage is held after the group stage.[2]

Points are awarded in the group stage as follows:

Result Points
Win 2 points
No result 1 point
Loss 0 points

Four games will be played in the playoffs:[1]

  • Game A, between the teams ranked first and second in the group stage.
  • Game B, between the teams ranked third and fourth in the group stage.
  • Game C, between the loser of Game A and winner of Game B.
  • Final, between the winners of Games A and C.

Squads

Each team can have a squad of at most 30 players with a maximum of US$9 million to spend on purchasing players. Due to the addition of two new teams, all eight existing teams are disbanded. Each of teams may retain up to four players from the 2010 season, with at most three Indians. Choosing to retain players would subject to a reduction in their salary cap, reducing the amount they may spend on other players. All other players are added to the auction.[2] The player auction is scheduled for January 8 and 9 2011 in Bangalore.[1]

The catchment areas of the eight existing teams were changed to account for the two new teams. Catchment areas are nominated areas to help each side select their local players. Each team must select four players from their area.

Pune and Kochi are new to the league. The auction for these teams was held at Chennai on 22 March 2010. These two bids, worth a total of Rs 3,235 crore, were more than the Rs 2,853 crore collectively paid for the eight franchises in the first auction, on 24 January 2008.[3]

Sahara Pune Warriors Sahara 370 m 1,702 crore
Kochi IPL Team Rendezvous Sports World 333.33 m 1,533 crore

The Rajasthan Royals, Kings XI Punjab were temporarily ejected from the league due to issues with their unreported ownership changes. The teams were reinstated with involvement from the High Court.[4] Their owners were broken into several legal entities when the BCCI required the incorporation of the companies.[5][6] Kochi was also at risk of ejection for the same reasons before BCCI cleared their new ownership pattern for the tournament.[7]
