dev.goswami Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I think you can..i mean the players aren't that rich to own a team...but the owners can play as the 'catchment area players'...so we can see Mr. Ambani or Mr. Mallya taking guard in the next game :hehe: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riley's Girl Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 IMO it's not a good idea as it would give rise to conflict of interest, cause doubt, controversy, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSK Fan Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Then can such a player be dropped ever from the starting XI? In case he is not captain, will his views be more important than the captain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViruRulez Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 If u have enuf money to buy a team' date='why the hell would u want to play?:hmmm:[/quote'] I think Sachin would be easily able to afford an IPL team .. that would be wrong to say they would not play if they had that money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mamu Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 If u have enuf money to buy a team' date='why the hell would u want to play?:hmmm:[/quote'] Let us say Sachin Owned MI, why would he not want to play? If he plays -- MI would do well, attract more sponsors, raise ticket prices - contributing to the bottom line of MI -- which means more to the bottom line of Sachin (which is already fat anyways :-)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watson87 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Saha wasn't allowed to purchase KKR, so I guess no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
