HowardRoark Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 God damnit now even team names have sponsors :wall: Soon it'll be Ambani Mumbai Indians, GMR Delhi Daredevils, etc. It's not a new thing - remember Bangalore Royal Challengers? Anyway they pay a hell of money to buy the team, why not have their brand in it if it suits them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show_stopper Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 The home matches of the Pune IPL team will be played at the MCA stadium currently under construction about 25 kms from the city. This is one positive to come out of IPL. Finally we seem to be getting excellent stadiums in India..even though they are being built in the outskirts of the cities. But i guess one can't complain too much. The DY Patil , VCA(?) in Nagpur and now the MCA in Pune really are excellent grounds with good infrastructure. BTW Chepauk also looks good after its renovation..but have no idea about the seating arrangements etc. The Chinnaswamy absolutely sucks both in terms of the looks and the seating facility.

straight.drive Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Why the heck are these franchises naming their teams in firang baasha? Are they too insecure and dismissive of local culture and our rich heritage? Or are they pathetic copy cats aka Bollywood? :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
