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.{{cite web |url=http://in.news.yahoo.com/indiaabroad/20080424/r_t_ians_nl_general/tnl-ipl-cheergirls-face-ban-in-maharasht-b9e311f_1.html |title=IPL cheergirls face ban in Maharashtra |access-date=27 April 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080429111216/http://in.news.yahoo.com/indiaabroad/20080424/r_t_ians_nl_general/tnl-ipl-cheergirls-face-ban-in-maharasht-b9e311f_1.html |archive-date=29 April 2008 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }} 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".{{cite news|url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1080520/jsp/frontpage/story_9295090.jsp|title='Colour of skin' comes into play 'Dark' girls told to leave|work=The Telegraph|date=20 May 2008| access-date=20 May 2008|location=Calcutta, India|first=Poulomi|last=Banerjee| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080608033014/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1080520/jsp/frontpage/story_9295090.jsp| archive-date= 8 June 2008 | url-status= dead}} Both girls alleged that an employee referred to them with the racial slur "nigger".{{cite news|url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1080523/jsp/frontpage/story_9309638.jsp|title=Cheerleaders called 'niggers' – Details of racial abuse at Mohali match out in the open|work=The Telegraph|date=21 May 2008|access-date=21 May 2008|location=Calcutta, India|first=Poulomi|last=Banerjee| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080526014941/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1080523/jsp/frontpage/story_9309638.jsp| archive-date= 26 May 2008 | url-status= dead}}

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.{{Cite web |url=http://www.gulfnews.com/sport/Cricket/10215758.html |title=Cheerleader claims racist slur at IPL match |access-date=25 June 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080603132848/http://www.gulfnews.com/sport/Cricket/10215758.html |archive-date=3 June 2008 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}

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.{{cite news| title = Kings XI Punjab v Mumbai Indians| url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ipl/engine/current/match/335991.html| publisher=ESPNcricinfo| date = 24 April 2008| access-date = 25 April 2008| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080428215751/http://www.espncricinfo.com/ipl/engine/current/match/335991.html| archive-date= 28 April 2008 | url-status= live}}{{cite news| title = Bhajji slaps, Sree sobs | url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1080426/jsp/frontpage/story_9191426.jsp|work = The Telegraph| date = 24 April 2008| access-date = 25 April 2008| location=Calcutta, India| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080429221046/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1080426/jsp/frontpage/story_9191426.jsp| archive-date= 29 April 2008 | url-status= dead}}{{cite news| title = Bhajji 'slaps' Sreesanth, makes him cry | url = https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Bhajji-slaps-Sreesanth-makes-him-cry/articleshow/2983882.cms| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20121021131923/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2008-04-26/india/27772459_1_s-sreesanth-punjab-team-indian-premier-league-encounter| url-status = live| archive-date = 21 October 2012| date = 24 April 2008| work = The Times of India | access-date = 25 April 2008}}{{cite news| title = Match results – Indian Premier League, 2007/08 | url = http://www.espncricinfo.com/ipl/engine/series/313494.html| publisher=ESPNcricinfo| date = 24 April 2008| access-date = 25 April 2008| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080430105502/http://www.espncricinfo.com/ipl/engine/series/313494.html| archive-date= 30 April 2008 | url-status= live}}
