IPL 2011 Schedule: Welcome to Season 4

Thought you saw it all, felt it all, enjoyed it all in the 50-over World Cup? Well, take a 6-day breather before IPL 4 hits your frayed senses! Gear up for a highly flammable couple of months, as the 2011 edition of the IPL gets under way at Chepauk Stadium, Chennai, starting April 8!

Last time round, 8 teams competed in a blockbuster double round-robin tournament that spanned 60 matches. In this stretch of the IPL marathon, however, the addition of the Pune Warriors and the Kochi Tuskers Kerala will mean 10 franchises will go at loggerheads with one another. With a streamlined format this season, 74 matches will be played over 13 venues across India, and the knock-out stages will be played under a play-off structure. Navi Mumbai and Kochi come in as the new home venues and will look to cheer their IPL-rookie sides into matching their more experienced opponents.

Lalit Modi ran the first three laps of the Indian Premier League with flamboyance and grandeur. His tenure as IPL architect, Chairman and Commisioner enabled the IPL to rise from an uncut diamond of an idea to an opulent ornament. However, as events unfolded, raids were conducted, administrations were overhauled, and it became clear that with great power comes great need for transparency. Now, with the baton handed over to BCCI Vice-President Chirayu Amin, who is said to be a keen strategist with an eye for the betterment of cricket, there is expected to be a lot less sludge, and a lot more cricketainment!

Bollywood Shouts 'Cut' for India vs Pak

Cricket comes first for B-Town biggies. And when it's India and Pakistan in the World Cup semi-finals in Mohali, one can safely imagine B-Town shutting shop for the duration of the match.

So, come Wednesday, some will get their shoots preponed while most will watch the match at home or between extended breaks at work. A few will even watch the match live.

Deepika Padukone: (Watching it in London) "I will be in London shooting for Desi Boyz. As it is behind India in time, I will get ready early and catch the match before my afternoon shoot. I wish I was in Mohali, catching the action live."

Kareena Kapoor: (Hoping for things to wrap up fast) "I will be busy shooting for Reema Kagti's film with Aamir on that day unless things wrap up fast. Knowing Aamir's around, it probably will!"

Akshay Kumar: Sajid Khan, Sajid Nadiadwala and a few of my close friends are coming over to watch the semis between India and Pakistan on the plasma TV in my house. I love cricket. I am not cheering any particular player but I'm rooting for India. Team India has to win!

Aamir Khan: (Prepones shoot. Now, from 10 am to 2 pm) The actor plans to watch the match with his family at home. He made director Reema Kagti, whose film he is currently starring in, change the timing of the Wednesday schedule, making it from 10 am to 2 pm, so that the cast and crew could catch the action.

Sunil Shetty: (Will be in Mohali) "I am a huge cricket lover. Gautam Singhania and I will head to Mohali for the semis between India and Pakistan. I am rooting for Team India and not for any player in particular."

Sanjay Dutt: (Can't miss it even though he's in HK) "Though I love cricket and have watched most of the World Cup matches, sadly for the semis between India and Pakistan I am not there. What a match it will be! I am in Hong Kong shooting for Dhamaal 2. I will watch it somewhere or maybe on the Net. Though I am rooting for Team India, I love Sachin and Sehwag."

Ajay Devgn: (Will watch during the shoot) "I will be shooting for Rohit Shetty's Singham in Goa and will watch the match between breaks. Rohit has promised to wind up the shoot early that day so we can all get to watch at least half the match."

Anil Kapoor: (Wants Sachin to crack a ton) "Yes, I do plan to watch the cricket semis between India and Pakistan as I love cricket. As of now, I'm a bit uncertain of my plans as I have some guests from Los Angeles flying down for a meeting and at night I'm having a small dinner party. I love watching Sachin Tendulkar's game and it would be fantastic if he got his 100th century during this match! I'm happy Yuvraj has struck form and playing brilliantly now. It's also a great opportunity for India and Pakistan to strengthen their ties in this match and make it a friendship match though on-the-field aggression and competition will be there."

Bipasha Basu: (Catching it at home) "I have still not decided where I will watch the match. Maybe, socially or at home with close friends. But am flying back from Kolkata on that day! Cheering for the entire team and hope they make us proud!"

Sonam Kapoor (Loves to watch Sachin) "I don't know yet whether I will be watching the semis or not. I enjoy the game of cricket, especially when India's playing. I love watching Sachin Tendulkar play!"

Imran Khan: (Wants a TV on the sets) "I'm going to be shooting in Madh Island the entire day. I'm just hoping our director understands our excitement and puts a TV on the sets."

IPL T20 Fans would miss the next generation CEO Lalit Modi being barred by IPL Committee this year. He was removed because of mismanagement of funds as well as back door participation in the IPL teams. He believed to have stack in Mohali, Kolkata and Rajasthan IPL Teams. The new chairman for IPL 2011 would be Chirayu Amin.

IPL 2011 will constitute ten teams rather than alike earlier years eight teams. The new teams added this year are Sahara Pune Warriors and Kochi IPL. If the format of the IPL remain unchanged then the matches to be played will increase from 60 to 94. Lalit Modi tweeted on his account on April 14, 2010 – “We are going to start the 2011 IPL season a few days after the World Cup in the first week of April. We are going back to the schedule of April-May that we had in the 2008 first season. We will keep this (schedule) in future,”. Lalit Modi also mentioned that because of increase in teams and matches schedule will be of 51 days instead of regular 45 days IPL Schedule. Because of just after World Cup, there might be low interest in the IPL Tournament. Although critics hold that IPL 2012 would decide the future of the IPL.

Chirayu Amin – Chairman of Indian Premier League (IPL T20) told that 2011 year would be much more better and amazing the previous years. Although doubts rolls because of non presence of former Commissioner Lalit Modi.
