Rajasthan Royals want name change, Kings XI Punjab want to shift from Mohali

[Sagar]

Fresh from having served a two-year ban for their key officials’ role in the IPL spot-fixing scandal, Rajasthan Royals have approached the BCCI with a unique request. It’s learnt that the franchise, which is officially owned by Jaipur IPL Cricket Private Limited, is keen on changing the name of the parent company.

Royals are not alone. Even Kings XI Punjab have gone ahead and requested the BCCI, not for the first time, about shifting from Mohali. The franchise has cited reasons such as lack of support from the state association and trouble with local authorities as the reasons for moving out. They have also complained about the lack of a fan base for the franchise in the city, which has allegedly resulted in paltry earnings for the franchise.
