The Indian Premier League (IPL) is a professional league for Twenty20 cricket competition in

India. It was initiated by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) headquartered
in Mumbai[3][4] supervised by former Chairman and Commissioner of the Indian Premier
League Chirayu Amin. It is currently contested by 10 teams consisting of players from around the
world. It was started after an altercation between the BCCI and the Indian Cricket League.[5]

In 2010, IPL became the first sporting event ever to be broadcast live on YouTube.[6] Its brand
value is estimated to be around$3.67 billion in fourth season.[7][8] According to global sports
salaries review, IPL is the second highest-paid league, based on first-team salaries on a pro
rata basis, second only to the NBA. It is estimated that the average salary of an IPL player over a
year would be $3.84 million.[9] The brand value of Mumbai Indians (finalist IPL 2010) is estimated
at USD 57.13 Million

Rules
There are five ways that a franchise can acquire a player. In the
annual auction, buying domestic players, signing uncapped
players, through trading and buying replacements.[18][19] In the
trading window the player can only be traded with his consent. The
franchise will have to pay the difference between the old contract
price and the new contract price. If the new contract is worth more
than the older one then the difference will be shared between the
player and the franchise selling the player.[20]
Some of the Team composition rules are:

 Minimum squad strength of 16 players plus one physio and a

coach.
 No more than 10 foreign players in the squad and at least 4
foreign players should be there in each squad.
 Minimum of 8 local players must be included in each squad.
 A minimum of 2 players from the BCCI under-22 pool in each
squad.

Some of the differences to international Twenty20 cricket:

 A difference to international cricket is a timeout. It gives the

players an opportunity to strategise and take a drink during the
strict 2 minutes, 30 seconds time limit. Each team is awarded
two timeouts per innings totalling to four timeouts for the whole
game. The teams can take the timeout when instructed, but is
necessary to take it from 6th to 9th and 13th to 16th over.
 IPL is also known for having commercials during the game,
hence there is no time limit for teams to complete their innings.
However, there may be a penalty if the umpires find teams
misusing this privilege at their own choice.

The total spending cap for a franchisee in the first player auction
was US $5 million. Under-22 players are to be remunerated with a
minimum annual salary of US $20,000 while for others it is US
$50,000. The most expensive players in the IPL to date is Gautam
Gambhir of India fetched the highest price of $2.4 million from
Kolkata Knight Riders at the auction for season 4

2011 Indian Premier League

The 2011 Indian Premier League season, abbreviated as IPL 4 or the IPL 2011, is the fourth
season of the Indian Premier League, conceived by Lalit Modi in 2007. The tournament is being
hosted in India and the opening and closing ceremonies will be held in M. A. Chidambaram
Stadium, Chennai, the home venue of the reigning champions Chennai Super Kings. The season
runs from 8 April to 28 May 2011.[1] This season the number of teams in the league went from
eight to ten with the additions of the Pune Warriors India and the 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.

Group A Group B

Deccan Chargers Kolkata Knight Riders

Delhi Daredevils Kochi Tuskers Kerala

 Kings XI Punjab Royal Challengers Bangalore

Mumbai Indians Rajasthan Royals

Pune Warriors India Chennai Super Kings

Team winning a match will be awarded 2 points. The losing team

will not receive any points. In case of a draw or no result, both
teams will be awarded 1 point.
A four-game playoff stage following the Page playoff system is held
after the group stage.
Four games will be played in the playoffs:

 Qualifier 1: between the teams ranked first and second in the

group stage.
 Eliminator: between the teams ranked third and fourth in the
group stage.
 Qualifier 2: between the loser of the Qualifier 1 and winner of
the Eliminator.
 Final: between the winners of the Qualifiers 1 and 2.

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.

Deccan Chargers
Deccan Chargers (Telugu: డకకన చరజరస్; Urdu: ‫چارجرز‬ ‫ )دکن‬known in short as DC or 'Chargers'
is a cricket franchise that represents the city of Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League.[1] They
won the Second season held in South Africa in 2009. The team is led by Kumar Sangakkara and
coached by Darren Lehmann, former Australian Test and One-Day Cricketer.
Franchise history
The Deccan Chargers franchise is owned by the Deccan Chronicle corporation. The media group
acquired the franchise for an amount of USD 107 million on 24 January 2008. Later, another
media group, Group M India picked up a 20% stake in the franchise.[2]

The team's name reflects the association with the Deccan Chronicle newspaper, which in turn
derives its name from the Deccan plateau that makes up the majority of the southern portion of
the Indian peninsula.

The Chargers logo is a charging bull.[3] From the 2009 season, the team changed the colour of
the jersey (from beige and black to sparkling silver and blue) and the logo (from gold and red to
white and blue).

There is no Icon Player for the team as the former captain V.V.S. Laxman rejected the offer to be
an icon player in order to free funds and enable the franchise to buy & encourage younger
players.

There were reports suggesting a buyout of the franchise by Gujarat based Adani Group for a sum
of $300 million, almost three times the value the team was purchased for initially.

Franchise history
Indian Premier League is a cricket tournament being organised by the Board of Control for
Cricket in India (BCCI) and backed by the International Cricket Council (ICC).[2] For the inaugural
tournament held in Apr-Jun 2008, the BCCI had finalised a list of 8 teams who will be participating
in the tournament. The teams representing 8 different cities of India, including Bangalore, were
put up on auction in Mumbai on 20 February 2008 and the Bangalore team was won by Vijay
Mallya, who paid US$111.6 million for it. This was the second highest bid for a team in the IPL,
next only to Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries' bid of $111.9 million for
the Mumbai team. Bollywood actresses Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone, andSandalwood film
stars Ramya and Puneeth Rajkumar are the brand ambassadors of the team
Royal Challengers Bangalore
When business tycoon and sports enthusiast bought IPL’s Bangalore franchise for a whopping
USD 111.6 million in 2008, good times were expected to follow. Although the Royal Challengers
Bangalore finished seventh in IPL 2008, their fortunes looked up in the subsequent seasons where they finished as
runners-up (IPL 2009) and losing semi-finalists (IPL 2010).

With Anil Kumble deciding to make himself unavailable as a player before the IPL Player Auction 2011, RCB solely
retained the services of the prodigious Virat Kohli. The team came away from the bidding looking like title
contenders, having bagged players like Zaheer Khan (USD 900,000), AB de Villiers (USD 1.1 million), Saurabh
Tiwary (USD 1.6 million), Tillakaratne Dilshan (USD 650,000) and Dirk Nannes (USD 650,000). Daniel Vettori,
Cheteshwar Pujara, Charl Langeveldt and Mohammed Kaif are some of the other significant names in the all-new
RCB squad.

So Why is IPL So Successful?

There are several reasons for this. Cricket is like a religion in India – a country whose
economy is growing at about 8% – so there was definitely enormous potential from the start.
IPL has done many things right, too. It has been innovative – last year IPL became the first
sporting event ever to be broadcast live on YouTube – subscription based, of course. It has
introduced style and entertainment at the grounds – fans hear loud music, see fireworks and
are entertained by official cheerleaders such as the White Mischief Galsof the Royal
Challengers. By attracting the best cricketing talent locally and from overseas, the IPL has
guaranteed a quality and entertaining product on the oval. Being a domestic league, unlike
the World Cup, an Indian team always wins, too.
What the IPL has done really well is to maximize television rights and sponsorship revenues.
The IPL broadcast rights for the inaugural IPL season were sold to World Sports Group, a
Singapore-based firm, for more than $1 billion. Given the fact that the television audience
reached 143million last year, that is probably a bargain price. The IPL really appeals to
advertisers and offers a genuine value proposition. Viewers are mainly middle class with high
disposable income, living in the cities and typically of the legal drinking age – which is
important when brewery sponsorship is on the table. In 2010, United Breweries Holdings
Ltd., owners of the Royal Challengers cricket franchise, gained on the BSE 200 Index after
the IPL valuation, climbing 4.2 percent to 283.50 rupees.
As for advertising, according to a recent article in The Economist, IPL advertising revenues
at MSM Satellite (Singapore), a division of Sony, which owns the India broadcast rights, went
up by 60%:
“The IPL is the single biggest event in India today, sporting or otherwise,”
What a dream run! Indian Premier League (IPL) has taken centre stage in the world of
cricket. Who would have believed that a couple of years ago? Indian Club Cricket holding
sway in global arena!!! The just concluded second instalment of IPL drama had cricket
aficionados crying for more. The runaway success of the tournament was there for all to see.
Global audiences watched scintillating cricket thoroughly mesmerised, while we in India
rejoiced that our religion has finally got global recognition. Full credit goes to Lalit Modi and
his IPL management who made this dream come true.

What did one like most about the tournament? The first answer that jumps to mind is
"everything". If you fail to agree with me then read on. We will proceed step by step on a
journey of critical analysis of this juggernautcalled IPL.
1. Quality of Cricket. There is no denying the fact that quality of cricket being offered
on IPL stage is world class. Barring T-20 World Cup there is no other platform where
you can find half as many world class cricketers displaying their cricketing skills. In fact
IPL may be considered better than T-20 World Cup by many. That is because the
argument goes like this. T-20 World Cup doesn't feature some swashbuckling senior
stalwarts that IPL does. Case in point are irresistible veterans like Adam
Gilchrist,Shane Warne, Anil Kumble et al.
2. Fanfare. The build up to IPL tournament is simply breathtaking and you wouldn't like
to miss out on the hype created for all the gold in the world. Because it is this build up
which sends your adrenalin rushing leaving you to contend with goose pimples. The
propaganda machine of IPL and its teams rev up your expectations for some blood
curdling duels on the cricket field. And bang! The show starts with gala Opening
Ceremony and teams baying for each others' blood. Taking cue the organisers throw in
every trick in the book to regale crowd as the tournament progresses. Who would want
to miss out on such world class fanfare that IPL offers? Not me.
3. Glamour. IPL organisers deserve a salute to be able to attract so much glamour and
glitterati on one stage. You name it and you have it! Shah Rukh Khan, Preity Zinta,
Shilpa Shetty, Mukesh Ambani, Vijay Mallaya, Katrina Kaif, and the list keeps unfolding.
 Then you also have some big international band playing for you at the tournament. And
glam girls as Cheer Leaders act as icing on the cake. Do you want to miss any of it? I
doubt.
What most of us may fail to register are two major spin offs that IPL is giving to India. Firstly
it is building Brand India in the eyes of global population. India's Club Cricket being played
on foreign soil as far removed as South Africa! And that too so successfully that IPL
becomes the centre point of all activities of that country!! Even the General Elections in
South Africa took a back seat to IPL fever that gripped the country. World media and by
extension world public are bound to wonder. To cap it all this venture called IPL is worth $ 2
billion, may be more. In just two years such an adventurous venture is already a financial
success. I wouldn't blame the global populace, especially the sporting world, if it sits up and
takes notice.

The second commendable point that IPL has scored is by garnering loads of goodwill for
India through charity. Generous donations given by IPL to various organisations enhancing
educational and sporting facilities in South Africa is simply magnanimous. Such gestures will
take IPL and India a long way in building bridges of friendship across nations.

Now the question arises as to what would we like to see different in IPL-3. Well on all
aspects discussed above, we would like to see IPL doing better and bigger. That said there
is also a dream that somehow IPL should reach out to non cricket playing countries and
spread our religion further. With IPL anything is in the realm of 'possible'. So lets pray and
hope that Lalit Modi and company can pull off this last bit of magic. Cheers to Lalit Modi!
Cheers to IPL! And cheers to Indian cricket fans!

Strategy

Looks like Santa won’t be the only one making a list and checking it
twice! Now that the date is set for the IPL auction, you can bet the
Mallyas, the Ambanis, the Bollywood stars, and a few others (whose
names I’m sure I’ll be forced to memorize come April) will be working
on their wishlists and their strategies for the big day.

With 7.2 million dollars at RCB’s disposal, it’s easy to get carried away
by big names, but as the inaugural IPL had shown, sometimes it’s the
obscure names that end up making a bigger splash. Now, I’m not
suggesting the RCB management brush through the auction list for the
long, hard-to-pronnounce names to jot down on their wishlist; I’m just
saying it’s sort of like playing Scrabble when you end up with just the
right number of tiles to make the word QUIZZICALITY and winning big
time. No one even knew about the word before the game, but you can
bet after the game everyone will be taking about QUIZZICALITY.

So back to cricket, how do you figure out who’s going to be Mr. 44-
freaking-points-worth-in-Scrabble guy of IPL 4? Is there a mathematical
theorem you can refer to get the answer? No. Is there a scientific
equation you can solve to get the answer? No. So by the same
reasoning, Ross Taylor or Jacques Kallis or somebody I’ve never heard
head or tails about could end up being Mr. QUIZZICALITY of this year’s
IPL.

Hear me out.

Let’s talk about Ross Taylor. You say he’s out of form? I say form
doesn’t really figure into T20. Momentum, okay. But form? And in what
form of cricket? One-dayers? But then what if the player only plays test
cricket? Or what if the player has completely retired from both these
forms of the game? Shane Warne certainly wasn’t in the form of his life
before the first IPL, but he still spearheaded his team to victory. If
playing poker is all it takes to maintain form, then someone please tell
Ross to work on his poker game already.

Okay, but what about Jacques Kallis? He’s been consistent for us , but
he’s better known for his feats in test matches…so what? It’s all about
adaptation, learning to switch on to T20 mode. For class acts, it’s not
that big of a deal. If Warne can switch from poker to cricket with
relative ease, it shouldn’t be too hard for an experienced guy to go
from test cricket to T20s. So no need to your your breath, I’m sure Anil
Kumble will manage the switch from cricket administrator to cricket
captain extraordinaire just fine.
So what then is the strategy for picking the right bunch of foreign
hotshots?

Don’t go by starpower, form, or age, but rather by attitude. Are they

200% committed to the cause be it in batting/bowling/fielding? Are
they available for the entire duration of the tournament? (Does their
country’s schedule clash with the IPL calendar? Are they prone to
injuries?) Can they turn the game on its head?

If all these requirements can be met by a player, then their name

needs to be penciled down. After all, it’s not about the size of the dog
in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.
Deccan Chargers
After a disappointing first season where they were placed at the bottom of the table, Deccan Chargers had a
fairytale second season scripting an incredible turnaround to claim the title. IPL 2010 saw the Chargers make it to
the semi-final stage of the competition once again only to lose to the Chennai Super Kings. The star players for the
Chargers in the first three editions were RP Singh, Rohit Sharma, Pragyan Ojha, Adam Gilchrist and Andrew
Symonds.

At the IPL Player Auction 2011, the Chargers went in for a complete overhaul. Some of their expensive signings at
the auction were Dale Steyn (USD 1.2 million), Cameron White (USD 1.1 million) and Daniel Christian (USD
900,000). Kevin Pietersen, JP Duminy and Kumar Sangakkara were the big international names while Ishant
Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan and Amit Mishra were the prominent Indian players signed up for the next three
seasons. Spinner Pragyan Ojha was one of the few players bought back by the Chargers at the auction.

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) IPL 2011

Royal Challengers Bangalore were on a shopping spree in much like the same manner that Vijay Mallya is
known. They had earlier retained only one player, Virat Kohli before the auctions. To give him company was
the big-ticket purchase of Saurabh Tiwary who was bought – after some controversy – for a price of $1.6
million.
Clearly, Mallya is betting on the future of the man, which seemed to be propped by the fact that even guys
like Tendulkar had endorsed Tiwary’s talent.

They did not stop here as AB de Villiers, who has now taken over the role of wicket-keeping for south Africa
was also bought for $1.1 million and Zaheer Khan returned to his original IPL team – Bangalore – for
$900,000.

Some of their other buys were Cheteshwar Pujara ($700,000), Dirk Nannes ($650,000), T Dilshan
($650,000) and Daniel Vettori ($550,000). This means that the side is left with only $850,000 for
tomorrow!

Bangalore purchased eight players on the second day of the auction and this included one from Karnataka –
Abhimanyu Mithun ($260,000). Apart from that, there was Charl Langeveldt ($140,000), Rilee Roussouw
($20,000), Jonathon Vandiar ($20,000) and Johan van der Wath ($50,000) from South Africa, Australian
Luke Pomersbach ($50,000), and Sri Lankan Nuwan Pradeep ($20,000)

Probably the most interesting moment came when Mohammad Kaif ($130,000) was introduced to the
auction for the third time and was bid for by Pune for $100,000. Deccan and Pune rebid for him before
Bangalore came in with their bid to win the player. Royal Challengers Bangalore IPL Auction 2011 Results is
placed below.

Posted by assignment2009 on January 10, 2011 at 12:32 AM

Deccan Chargers (DC) IPL 2011

Deccan Chargers had decided not to retain any of the players and start all over again. Their biggest purchase,
in keeping with their previous year’s efforts was a fast bowler but the cost of $1.1 million will be worth its
weight in gold.

The other big-ticket player to be got into their team was $1.1 million worth Cameron White. White had only
yesterday retained the captaincy of the Australian T20 side and has led them to many a win in their local T20
competition – the KFC Big Bash T20.

The other player that could give White a run for his money when it came to captaincy was Kumar
Sangakkara ($700,000) as one gets the feeling that one of these two could end up being the skipper.

Then there was a surprise intake of Kevin Pietersen for $650,000 and Pragyan Ojha returned back to his
team from the first three years for $500,000. Deccan also won ishant for half what he had got in the first
auction – $450,000 – and Amit Mishra for $300,000.

Deccan Chargers had gone into the auctions on the second day with a lot of money in reserve and they
decided to go for the costliest buy of the day; Ryan Christian ($900,000). Apart from that, they selected
Michael Lumb ($80,000), who had played for the Rajasthan in the third season, and Manpreet Gony
($290,000) and Juan Theron ($85,000).

The other surprise package of the day was the little-known Chris Lynn ($20,000). Deccan Chargers IPL
