The stage is set!
The IPL auction for two new teams gets underway in Dubai.
The BCCI is set for the bidding of the two new teams that will join the Indian Premier League in 2022. According to various publications, the Adani Group and the RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group are among the favourites in the race, and others in the fray include Jindal Steel, Torrent Pharma, Aurobindo Pharma and Avram Glazer, whose family owns a majority stake in Manchester United football club.
The bidding process for the two new IPL franchises began on October 25, with ten entities submitting bids to own a team in one of the six cities, namely, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Cuttack, Dharamsala, Guwahati, and Indore.
According to media reports, 22 firms had picked up tender documents worth Rs 10 lakh. However, as the base price for the two new IPL teams was pegged at Rs 2,000 crore, only a few serious bidders were eventually in the fray.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is expected to earn around Rs 5,000- Rs 7,000 crore from the sale of these two new IPL franchises. This income will be in addition to the over Rs 450 crore it earns from its share of broadcasting and sponsorship revenues for the upcoming IPL season in 2022.
