It is so unlike last year

IPL season 3 - 2010

1. Ex-ICL players are part of the tournament.
2. The tournament is happening in India despite security concerns and subtle threats from foreign players and Federation of International Cricketers' Associations(FICA).
3. No Pakistan cricketer is playing. There are many theories doing the rounds for their non-participation but that is part of another story
4. All teams look formidable to go through to semis - It is still early days but last year you could still count out few teams.

Like last year there is still lot of buzz and moolah. Let the best team win...
