DLF IPL 4 Schedule 2011

Gearing up for highly flammable couple of months, as the 2011 edition of the ipl gets under way at hepak stadium, Chennai, starting April 8. The IPL4 schedule has rescheduled for few matches due to assembly elections in the five states.

The addition of teams representing Pune and Kochi was to have increased the number of franchises from 8 to 10. The BCCI originally considered extending the tournament format used in previous season to ten teams, which would increase the number of matches from 60 to 94. Instead, the round-robin stage of the tournament was to have been replaced by a group stage with two groups of five, limiting the number of matches to 74. This year of T20 extravaganza will be played at 13 venues across the country and will last 51 days.

Defending Champion Chennai Super Kings will play Kolkata Knight Riders in the opening match of IPL 2011. According to sources, Shah Rukh Khan will dance to the tunes of the IPL anthem. It was not too difficult to rope in the KKR owner as he would have been present anyway, for his team's opening match.
