kepler37b Posted June 4, 2025 Posted June 4, 2025 I think Mallu bros need a franchise of their own. I know lot's of them in India and abroad. I think it will further raise the economic value of IPL. I wonder if LSG makes economic sense at all. Is there a distinct set of audience for it? You might say gangu belt, but there is already Delhi in it. Stan AF 1
rollingstoned Posted June 4, 2025 Posted June 4, 2025 Had one but had to be dissolved because of the opaque and shady nature of it's ownership. Tharoor was involved with it, in the future will definitely have one.
zen Posted June 4, 2025 Posted June 4, 2025 IPL is going to add two teams in future so it will depend on what the potential owners will likely recommend and pick from options.

Bigg Brother Posted June 4, 2025 Posted June 4, 2025 10 teams IPL is already boring, want to add 2 more teams?
Tillu Posted June 4, 2025 Posted June 4, 2025 Should have a team from NE India, mostly Assam. Cricket is the biggest uniting factor in India. Helps in national integration. Gollum, Ultimate_Game, Stan AF and 2 others 1 4
