In a match which went down to the last ball, Rajasthan Royals defeated Chennai Super Kings in the final to win the title,[3] with Yusuf Pathan named the player of the match in the Finals and Shane Watson adjudged the player of the tournament.[4]Sohail Tanvir won the purple cap for being the top wicket-taking bowler while Shaun Marsh won the orange cap for leading run-scorer in the tournament. Shreevats Goswami was awarded the best under-19 player award and the special award for Fair Play was won by the CSK.
The auctions for team ownership was held on January 24, 2008. Mumbai was the most expensive team, costing over US$111.9 million.[5] For the inaugural IPL season, each team had a salary cap of US$5 million (Rs. 20 crore approx.). Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid, Yuvraj Singh and Virender Sehwag were classified as icon players. They played for the franchises representing their home towns and hence did not enter the auction. Few players were classified as marquee players and the teams which lost out on icon players were allowed one extra marquee player to be selected in the auction.[6] The first auction was conducted on 20 February 2008 with Mahendra Singh Dhoni winning the highest bid of US$1.5 million. Andrew Symonds was the most costly foreign player.[7] A further second auction was held for few foreign players signed. Teams also signed players on individual basis.[8]
Rain interrupted play after during Delhi's innings and reduced the match to 11 overs per side. Rain then ended play after 8 overs in Punjab's innings. Their par score was 88 runs according to the Duckworth–Lewis method.
The tournament's leading wicket taker wore a purple cap when fielding.[13]

Controversiesedit
Cheerleadersedit
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 altercationedit
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]

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 edit 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 References edit Indian Premier League 2008 cricketwa Retrieved 5 August 2015 Indian Premier League 2007 08 Fixtures
