The 2009 Indian Premier League season, abbreviated as IPL 2 or the 2009 IPL, will be the second season of the Indian Premier League, established by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in 2007. The tournament will be hosted by South Africa and is scheduled between April 18 and May 24, 2009.IPL 2 is expected to be the second biggest cricket tournament in the world, after the Cricket World Cup,and will have an estimated television audience of more than 200 million people in India alone.
Concerns were raised in India that the tournament was the prime target of Islamic terrorists.Because the second season of the IPL coincided with multi-phase 2009 Indian general elections, India's ruling United Progressive Alliance (UPA) refused to commit security by Indian paramilitary forces. As a result, the BCCI decided to host the second season of the league outside India. On March 24, 2009, the BCCI officially announced that the second season of the IPL will be held in South Africa

Mc Cullum , chris gayle, ishant sharma all are flop ..
Legend Saurav Ganguly is the God of indian cricket.. respect him.
Only he stood strong , last time also , and this year also,
as hes the only one who is contributing in batting and bowling.
but its impossible for a single person to carry the burden of the whole team.
That idiot srk has been blinded, by Buchanan and his flop coaching skills . Buchanan is ruining every thing.
British raaj is over , but still there are people like srk and vijaya mallya, who will forever remain in the shoes of white skin ones, bcoz they are born to do slavery (impressing the white skins is present in their blood and genes).
Go home buchanan
and srk , you should stop licking feet of white skins like buchanan.
