Rising Pune Supergiant, Gujarat Lions not to get extension: Rajeev Shukla

[rahul1117kumar]

IPL chairman Rajeev Shukla categorically said that if the tournament becomes a 10-team affair, then Rising Pune Supergiant and Gujarat Lions might have to go through a fresh bidding process after the two suspended franchises from Chennai and Rajasthan return next year.

"Next year, as per the Supreme Court order, the two suspended teams would be back. The issue of whether eight or 10 teams, will come up at the IPL GC meeting. So far the plan is to go ahead with eight teams. A 10-team league has to be endorsed by the GC. As of today, no extension is being given to both the teams [RPS and Lions]. The agreement was only for two years.

That season the IPL was divided into two groups of 5 teams each.
Each team played all the 4 teams from its groups 2 times (home and away) and once the other 4 teams from the other group and the remaining team from the other group twice.

I personally found the format too confusing and I believe it wasn't too popular with the fans as well.
