Pune, Vadodara may get billion-dollar IPL franchises
The IPL could be heading for its biggest expansion since 2022, with Vadodara and Pune emerging as possible homes for new franchises from the 2028 media-rights cycle.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India, the governing body of the Indian Premier League (IPL), is reportedly considering expanding the tournament by adding at least two new franchises for the 2028 media rights cycle. According to sources familiar with the matter, cities like Vadodara and Pune are being considered as potential candidates for the new teams.
The BCCI has yet to officially announce the expansion plans, as the decision-making process remains confidential. Agnidev, a business journalist with Mint, highlights the significance of this potential expansion in the context of India's capital market and corporate strategy.
