dev.goswami Posted March 16, 2010 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:
satyam1729 Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 Can you own your own franchise and play? NO. Sachin wanted to bid for MI. But he was not allowed
Lord Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 If u have enuf money to buy a team,why the hell would u want to play?:hmmm:

Riley's Girl Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 IMO it's not a good idea as it would give rise to conflict of interest, cause doubt, controversy, etc.
Riley's Girl Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 If u have enuf money to buy a team' date='why the hell would u want to play?:hmmm:[/quote'] For the love of the game. Because your competitive nature leaves you no choice. For the glory. Countless other reasons.

CSK Fan Posted March 16, 2010 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?
Ranjha Posted March 16, 2010 Author Posted March 16, 2010 Then can such a player be dropped ever from the starting XI? In case he is not captain' date=' will his views be more important than the captain?[/quote'] Some good questions.
ViruRulez Posted March 16, 2010 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
Ranjha Posted March 16, 2010 Author Posted March 16, 2010 NO. Sachin wanted to bid for MI. But he was not allowed Are you sure? Source? Then how about owning a different franchise and playing for a different one.
CSK Fan Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 Are you sure? Source? Then how about owning a different franchise and playing for a different one. Then asking his franchise to play badly against the team he is playing in or deliberately play bad while playing against his own franchise?:winky:
coffee_rules Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 Yes he can own any number of franchises - Subway, Dunkin Donuts, AM/PM, you name it.
Holysmoke Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 NO. Sachin wanted to bid for MI. But he was not allowed Ofcourse he wouldnt be allowed. Nobody would support any other franchise...:haha:
yoda Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 Are you sure? Source? Then how about owning a different franchise and playing for a different one. Everyone (but you :hehe:) knows this. It was all over the place at the time of the team bidding. http://www.hindustantimes.com/News-Feed/cricketnews/Shah-Rukh-among-bidders-for-IPL-franchise/Article1-257588.aspx
Mamu Posted March 16, 2010 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 :-))
Watson87 Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 Saha wasn't allowed to purchase KKR, so I guess no.
mastana Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 In 2016 when Sachin will retire, he will buy a franchise and name it "Ailaa Indians". :woot:
