The season commenced on 18 April 2008 with the final match was held on 1 June 2008.[1] The competition started with a double round robin league stage, in which each of the 8 teams played a home match and an away match against every other team. These matches were followed by two semi-finals and a final.[2]
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.
