It’s already been really thrilling few months for us, identifying players, trainer along with other assistance staff.

- Teams will be split in two groups each consisting five teams. Although points table will not be split separate for each team.
- Each team will play two games (home and away) against each other in the same group. This way each team will play around 8 league games within the same group.
- Now, each team will play one league game each against four teams (out of five) of another group and two league game (home and away) against the fifth team of the another group. In this way, each team will play 6 matches against another group’s teams.
- So, each team will play 14 (8+6) matches (7 home and 7 away) in the league matches (Before Playoff).
- After the league games of IPL are finished, playoff matches will begin which in fact the most controversial format of all.
- Team that remains at either 1st or 2nd spot in the league table point will play either one or two games. The first playoff is Game A. Winner will go straight away to final.
- Second Playoff (Game B) will be between two teams who were at 3rd and 4th spot in the league points table. Looser of Game B is out of league competition. Winner of Game B will still need to win third playoff (Game C) for entering into Finals of IPL 4.

Uttar Pradesh players to represent Sahara Pune Warriors – Subrata Roy
Adding more controversy to the Indian Premier League – IPL, Subrata Roy told that he will use VETO power to select enough players from Uttar Pradesh State. He further said, “We don’t have facilities to conduct IPL matches in the Uttar Pradesh but it doesn’t mean we will ignore UP”.
Some cricket experts have concern over this statement because this could lead to another controversy in the IPL. “We already have enough problems in our IPL Package, and this comment was unnecessary”, a leading commentator said.IPL Fans over Twitter reacted that if he wants to represent Uttar Pradesh than why he chooses IPL Pune, he could better choose Kanpur which was also one of the leading contester of the Bid.
But many cricket experts and fans believe that even Mumbai Indians have players from all around the country and therefore controversy should not be started on this issue until best players are ignored while selecting players from Uttar Pradesh.
The comment of Subrata Roy hints that Mohammad Kaif, Suresh Raina, Piyush Chawla, R. P. Singh and Praveen Kumar could be leading players of Sahara Pune Warriors.
The statement of Subrata Roy came when he announced Geoff Marsh as coach of Sahara Pune Warriors team for the year 2011.
