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. The season will run from 8 April to 28 May 2011.[1] The season saw the addition of new teams: Pune Warriors and Kochi Tuskers Kerala.
Format
With the introduction of 2 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 was used to determine the groups and who plays whom across the groups once and twice.
Each team plays the team in the same row and the same column twice, and all others once. For instance, Pune Warriors will play Chennai Super Kings and the other Group A teams twice but the other teams from Group B (Kolkata Knight Riders, Kochi Tuskers Kerala, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals) only once. Similarly Kochi Tuskers Kerala will play Delhi Daredevils and the other Group B teams twice but all other teams from Group A only once.

A four-game playoff stage following the Page playoff system is held after the group stage.[1]
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.
The top three teams from the tournament qualify for the 2011 Champions League Twenty20. Due to the new playoff format, the qualifying teams will be the top two teams of the group stage and the winner of Game B in the playoff stage.[2]

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.[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.
A total of 12 players have been retained by all the franchises while the remaining go to the auction list. The retained players — who must have been part of the franchise's registered squads for the 2010 season — were valued at $1.8 million for the first player, $1.3 million for the second, $900,000 for the third and $500,000 for the fourth. Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings have retained the maximum of four players while the Kings XI Punjab, Deccan Chargers and Kolkata Knight Riders released all their players.[3]
Player auction
The player auction was held on 8 and 9 January 2011 at the ITC Royal Gardenia in Bangalore.[3] Richard Madley was the auctioneer.[4] A total of 350 players (reduced from 416 players) were in the auction. Each player in the auction pool had a reserve price set between $20,000 to $400,000.

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.[5]
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.[6] Their owners were broken into several legal entities when the BCCI required the incorporation of the companies.[7][8] Kochi was also at risk of ejection for the same reasons before BCCI cleared their new ownership pattern for the tournament.[9]
