New franchise’s uncertain future
Everyone knows that IPL 2022 is planned to be a ten-team tournament courtesy addition of two new franchises: Lucknow and Ahmedabad. RPSG owns the rights to the Lucknow-based franchise, while team Ahmedabad’s control lies in the hands of CVC Capital Partners.
But the future of Sanjiv Goenka’s Lucknow franchise looked bleak after SRH and PBKS had accused the RPSG group of “poaching” their Rashid Khan and KL Rahul respectively. Interestingly, Goenka’s team has been given a green light. Rather, it’s the Ahmedabad team that is in danger.
