It presently includes 8 teams (franchises) consisting of players from different countries. It was started after altercation between the BCCI and the Indian Cricket League. IPL contains 8 teams initially started but now 2 teams going to be joined on fourth season IPL. The 8 teams are Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Mumbai Indians (MI), Delhi Daredevils(DD), Rajasthan Royals(RR), Royal Challenger Bangalore (RCB), Kings XI Punjab (KXIP), Deccan Charger (DC). For 2011 IPL fourth season the two teams going to be introduced are Kochi and Pune. In IPL player are selected for particular based on bid. The team which bid more for particular player can take that player. There should only four foreign players and remaining should be Indian players during the match. For the first season of IPL, Rajasthan Royals won the final match against Chennai Super Kings and got the first IPL cup. The final match was very crucial but we were unable to predicate the match who won the match. Similarly Second season of IPL, Deccan Chargers won the match Royal Challenger Bangalore but third season of IPL final match is going to held in Mumbai between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings. Chennai Super Kings made history of IPL by third time entered into semi-final and second time entered into final match. IPL made a good entertainment for audience. In IPL T20 match, audience enjoy the matches when their supporting getting the wicket or hitting sixes or fours. Basically Twenty-20 match is batsmen game. Each and every player should be hitter to win the match. But now-a-days IPL matches not give enjoyment to audience and also good play of money. IPL turns the black money to white money. The total amount spending in the name of IPL is huge. If that amount is divided, we can give 2.35 lakhs to each family living in the India. IPL fourth Season creates more problem because of two teams. One team cost is equal to first eight teams. The total two team cost is around 1500 Crores. “How that much of currency is circulating in the IPL?” this is the question arise in every mind. So IT (Income Tax) department enquiry is going there on the IPL. They asked the IPL Commissioner Mr. Lalit Modi to submit the report on IPL from first season to till the end of this current season. Will this IPL continue in future is big question? There is no answer for this question because some political leader wants to ban the IPL. IPL is the second highest-paid league in the world. IPL is followed by NBA, which is first leading highest-paid league. IPL also create one more problem is that Pakistan players are not allowed to play in that series.
