The 2009 Indian Premier League season, abbreviated as IPL 2 or the 2009 IPL, was the second season of the Indian Premier League, established by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in 2007. The tournament was hosted by South Africa and was played between 18 April and 24 May 2009.^[2] IPL 2 was the second biggest cricket tournament in the world, after the Cricket World Cup,^[3] and was forecast to have an estimated television audience of more than 200 million people in India alone.^[4]

Concerns were raised in India that the tournament was the prime target of terrorists.^[5] Because the second season of the IPL coincided with multi-phase 2009 Indian general elections, the Government of India refused to commit security by Indian paramilitary forces. As a result, the BCCI decided to host the second season of the league outside India.^[6] On 24 March 2009, the BCCI officially announced that the second season of the IPL will be held in South Africa.^[7] Though India did not host the second season, the format of the tournament remained unchanged from the 2008 season format.^[8]

Relocating the tournament posed extreme logistical challenges for the BCCI since more than 10,000 cricketers and other staff members needed to be flown from India to South Africa within a span of a few weeks.^[9] The IPL injected approximately US$100 million into South Africa's local economy.^[10] In addition, the BCCI signed a Rs. 8,200 crores (US$1.63 billion) contract with Multi Screen Media to broadcast matches live from South Africa to India.^[11]

The IPL was hosted successfully in South Africa and was hailed as an "extraordinary" accomplishment.^[12] The tournament was particularly praised for globalizing cricket^[13] and had set record television viewership.^[14] The tournament was won by Deccan Chargers while the Bangalore Royal Challengers were declared as runners-up.^[15]

Changes

Some of the rules were changed for the 2009 edition of the IPL. The number of international players allowed in any one squad was increased from 8 to 10 although the number allowed in any playing 11 remained at 4.^[16] The players purchase cap was increased from 5 to 7 million^{[clarification needed]}. The BCCI also negotiated with the ECB to allow English cricketers to participate in the 2009 edition of the IPL. English players were allowed to play for 21 days in between their tour to West Indies and the subsequent return tour.^[17]

Pre-season trades and signings

Trade window

Teams were reluctant to trade initially due to the troubled economic times and the general desire to concentrate on building a well-rounded team as opposed to making profits out of trades.^[18] Kolkata were initially inclined to present Pakistani express bowler Shoaib Akhtar for trade but later withdrew from a deal.^{[19][not in citation given]}

Signings

With most international players are (barring members of the England squad and Indian Cricket League players) signing up for the first season on multi-season contracts, the emphasis for off-season signings for 2009 were possible up-and-coming young players from international domestic circuits.

Withdrawals

Other players opted to withdraw from this particular season from the IPL, but have not ruled out returning in the future. In most cases, the reason for withdrawal was that the players wanted a break from the hectic international schedule. There have also been withdrawals due to injury and also Pakistanis who have had their contracts terminated or suspended due to tensions between India and Pakistan since the Mumbai Terrorist Attacks.However, as the tournament was eventually moved to South Africa, it was perceived as somewhat unfair towards the players, who had made such a substantial influence in the first edition of the IPL. Most withdrawals were Australian international players, for whom the IPL would be the only break between a series against Pakistan and the upcoming long tour of England which would include The Ashes series. Withdrawals included:

• Michael Hussey – Chennai Super Kings
• Ricky Ponting – Kolkata Knight Riders
• Jerome Taylor – Kings XI Punjab
• Shoaib Akhtar – Kolkata Knight Riders
• Misbah-ul-Haq – Bangalore Royal Challengers
• Shahid Afridi – Deccan Chargers
• Shoaib Malik – Delhi Daredevils
• Mohammad Asif – Delhi Daredevils
• Umar Gul – Kolkata Knight Riders
• Mohammad Hafeez – Kolkata Knight Riders
• Salman Butt – Kolkata Knight Riders
• Kamran Akmal – Rajasthan Royals
• Younis Khan – Rajasthan Royals
• Sohail Tanvir – Rajasthan Royals
• Shaun Tait – Rajasthan Royals
• Shane Watson – Rajasthan Royals

Build-up

The media build-up to the second season of the IPL was largely centred around security concerns, but another focus was Kolkata Knight Riders' coach John Buchanan's radical four-captain plan, which was created to utilize the knowledge of Sourav Ganguly, Chris Gayle, Brendon McCullum and Brad Hodge together as captains. The plan met its fair share of criticism and approval^{[citation needed]}, with critics claiming the plan would lead to too much conflict of opinion on the field while supporters claimed that Twenty20 is suited to such radical ideas. Adding to Knight Riders' woe was the break out of the fake IPL blogger scandal.

Much of the other hype around the IPL was the impact of the new-look Bangalore Royal Challengers with their new captain Kevin Pietersen. Bangalore team owner Vijay Mallya, disappointed with the team's 7th place performance last season and its categorization as a test team^{[citation needed]}, sought radical changes and signed Pietersen for a record 1.55 million USD contract before making him captain of the side (replacing Rahul Dravid who captained last season as the icon player of the Royal Challengers). The Challengers also acquired hard-hitting batsmen Robin Uthappa, Ross Taylor and Jesse Ryder.

Some of the other topics of discussion were the potential benefit teams with a large number of South African players, like the Challengers, could gain from local knowledge of the conditions^{[citation needed]}. There was also some concern about how teams like Kings XI Punjab could deal with the mass exodus of some of its core unit during the series due to international duty and how teams would deal with the loss of Pakistani players who in some cases (eg. Sohail Tanvir with the Rajasthan Royals) played a large part in their teams' fortunes last season^{[citation needed]}.

Warm-up games

The match between Cape Cobras and Rajasthan Royals was billed as the Clash of the Champions due to both teams being champions of their country's Twenty20 leagues. However, as an IPL warmup, both teams fielded understrength teams in order to try out new blood, with only 4 of Rajasthan's 2008 title-winning team playing the warm-up. Nashua Cape Cobras were the victors.

The Kolkata Knight Riders also played a warm-up against the Eagles in Bloemfontein on April 9. Kolkata won by nine wickets, with icon Sourav Ganguly hitting an unbeaten 61 and rising star Cheteshwar Pujara hitting an unbeaten 66. However, Pujara was injured for the rest of the tournament and didn't play a game.[2]
