La temporada comenzó el 18 de abril de 2008 y el partido final se celebró el 1 de junio de 2008. [1] La competición comenzó con una fase de liga de todos contra todos , en la que cada uno de los 8 equipos jugó un partido en casa y un partido fuera de casa contra todos los demás equipos. A estos partidos les siguieron dos semifinales y una final. [2]

Subastas y fichajes de personal
Las subastas para la propiedad del equipo se llevaron a cabo el 24 de enero de 2008. Mumbai fue el equipo más caro, con un costo de más de US$ 111,9 millones. [5] Para la temporada inaugural de la IPL, cada equipo tenía un tope salarial de US$ 5 millones (Rs. 20 crore aproximadamente). Sachin Tendulkar , Sourav Ganguly , Rahul Dravid , Yuvraj Singh y Virender Sehwag fueron clasificados como jugadores íconos . Jugaron para las franquicias que representaban a sus ciudades de origen y, por lo tanto, no participaron en la subasta. Pocos jugadores fueron clasificados como jugadores destacados y a los equipos que perdieron jugadores íconos se les permitió seleccionar un jugador destacado adicional en la subasta. [6] La primera subasta se llevó a cabo el 20 de febrero de 2008 y Mahendra Singh Dhoni ganó la oferta más alta de US$ 1,5 millones. Andrew Symonds fue el jugador extranjero más costoso. [7] Se realizó una segunda subasta adicional para algunos jugadores extranjeros contratados. Los equipos también contrataron jugadores de forma individual. [8]

Controversies
Cheerleaders
Cheerleaders during a match between Mumbai Indians and Deccan Chargers at the D Y Patil stadium.
The IPL received criticism from a few politicians and feminists for bringing in foreign cheerleaders, which was seen by many to not be in the traditional spirit of the game, as well as being against some Indian sensibilities.[14] Two cheerleaders from London were asked to leave the ground at Mohali "because of the colour of their skin" by Wizcraft International Entertainment, which handled the team Kings XI Punjab. Ellesha Newton and Sherinne Anderson, both from London and of African ancestry were allegedly barred from entering the stadium by employees of Wizcraft International Entertainment on the pretext that "people don't like dark girls here".[15] Both girls alleged that an employee referred to them with the racial slur "nigger".[16]
The BCCI said a probe would be initiated by the IPL only if the two women officially complain to IPL commissioner Lalit Modi.
The BCCI and IPL officials later expressed surprised that the two cheerleaders did not complain about the alleged racist behaviour while they were in India and spoke about it only after they returned to London.
"We have not received any complaint from any cheerleaders that they were asked to leave by the Mohali-based Kings XI Punjab franchise recently because of the colour of their skin." BCCI joint secretary M. P. Pandove said in Mohali.[17]
Sreesanth – Harbhajan Singh altercation
On 25 April 2008, following the Kings XI Punjab's victory over the Mumbai Indians at Mohali, Kings XI Punjab player Sreesanth was slapped under his eye by Harbhajan Singh, the stand-in captain of Mumbai Indians. The incident came to light as Sreesanth was caught by TV cameras sobbing inconsolably on the field before the presentation ceremony. Sreesanth had since downplayed the incident saying he had no complaints against Singh who was "like an elder brother" to him. Singh's team had lost their third consecutive match, and he apparently reacted violently to Sreesanth's approaching him and reportedly saying "hard luck". The footage of the slap has not yet been released for public viewing. The BCCI launched an investigation into the incident and decided to ban Singh for the remaining 11 matches of his season.[18][19][20][21]
