As per the sources, the IPL committee has appointed a panel of 4 jury members who will select the winners. However, no information about the jury panel has been disclosed officially but rumour has it that Anu Malik and Sherlyn Chopra are two of the jury members.

The final result will be out on April 3 while all the winners will make their debut and perform first on April 4 during the IPL Opening ceremony. All the three winners will go through a rigorous training program and then participate in the main events till May 21.

Apart from performing during the games, the of the cheerleaders will be nominated as the best performer of the season. According to the sources, to add a new element in the format, the IPL committee has also announced a trophy for the ‘Best Cheerleader of the Season’ along with a cash prize of RS 50 lakh and a Vivo smartphone.

This decision has been taken by the committee to give an opportunity to the Indian artists in place of the foreign performers and promote Indian culture.

Similarly, cheerleaders from the Punjab team have also been spotted in Indian attires.
