Pune and Kochi were on Sunday (March 21) unveiled as the two new
franchises for the fourth edition of the Indian
Premier League. While Pune was bought by Sahara Adventure Sports
Group, the Kochi franchise was snapped up by Rendezvous Sports World
Limited.

Sahara Adventure Sports Ltd placed competitive bids for three cities –
Ahmedabad, Nagpur and Pune, and bagged Pune for a price of 370 million
dollars equivalent to Rs 1,702 crore for a period of ten years.

Meanwhile, Rendezvous World Sports Limited bid only for the city of
Kochi at the price they bid for was 333.33 million dollars, equivalent
to Rs 1533.32 crore.

Videocon backed by Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor failed to bid for a
new franchise.

The IPL unveiled the two new teams at the ITC Park Sheraton in Chennai,
with five bidders reportedly in the fray. The process was to have been
completed on March 7 but was postponed by two weeks after the bidders
and the BCCI objected to stiff financial clauses.

The IPL will now feature ten teams and - if the current format is
retained - a total of 94 games, from the existing 60.

After the first season in 2008, the league has already expanded its
reach to other centres such as Cuttack, Ahmedabad, Nagpur and
Dharamsala.

However, IPL Chairman Lalit Modi today categorically said that the
cash-rich Twenty20 tournament will not see any more expansion in the
near future. Addressing the media after the bidding process Modi said,
“The IPL to be limited to ten teams only in near future.”

IPL Team From Kochi


Sahara and Rendezvous win IPL Teams for $703 mn

Sahara Group and Rendezvous Sports World have won the rights to own two
new teams in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for a combined $703
million, a record figure that is more than what the eight original
franchises had paid for.

Sahara Adventure Sports, a part of the Sahara Group, bought the Pune
team for $370 million, paying 64 per cent higher than the floor price of
$225 million and more than triple the $111.9 million that Mukesh Ambani
bid to buy the Mumbai team in 2008.

Rendezvous Sports World won the franchise for Kochi with a $333 million
bid, demonstrating once again that the IPL has emerged as the cricket's
richest property. The consortium bid included partners Pavinee
Developers, Anchor Earth, Filmwoves and Anandshah Developers.

“The bidding was extremely competitive with winners selected from a
field of five," said IPL chairman and commissioner Lalit Modi. “We are
extremely happy that we have got two robust bids, it goes to show that
the IPL is on the upward trend.”

Among the five bidders, the Adani Group had placed its bet for Ahmedabad
for $315 million while Videocon bid $319.90 million for Pune. Amonar
had made an offer of $261.3 million. The cities on offer were Cuttack,
Ahmedabad, Nagpur, Dharamsala, Indore, Visakhapatnam, Pune and Kochi.

Said Sahara corporate communications head Abhijit Sarkar, "The IPL is
undoubtedly the most ground breaking international sports development in
living memory. There is no precedent for what has been achieved by
Lalit Modi and the BCCI over the last three years and the Sahara group
is immensely proud to have won the Invitation to Tender from Pune. I can
promise the people of Pune a team they will be proud of in next year’s
IPL 2011."

Sahara had bid similar amounts for three cities - Ahmedabad, Nagpur and
Pune. The Group finally selected Pune as the host city for the new
franchise.

Shashi Tharoor was the brain behind Rendezvous Sports World. "Tharoor
was involved in getting people together to bid for Kochi. He is an
ardent fan of cricket. His involvement was to see a team from Kochi and
that was fulfilled," Modi said in Chennai.

Tharoor said that his role was that of a mentor and he encouraged the business houses to think of Kerala.
"All I did on my part was to offer encouragement, blessings and expert
advise when required to the bidders. Beyond that, I had no role to play.
I understand it's a business decision."

Tharoor clarified that he did not own the team, but he would "certainly
give my opinion when asked for it".

The investors of Rendezvous Sports remained a mystery. “Ours is a
consortium of number of investors but the names are confidential. I will
let you know at the right time." said Vivek Venugopal, a member of
Rendezvous Sports.

Though Kerala currently does not have any cricket stadium, the Kerala
Cricket Association said it is in the process of building one. "Till
that time, the bidder (Rendezvous Sports World Ltd) will be provided
with an alternative venue, anywhere in India,” said Modi.

The IPL will now feature 10 teams from 2011 and a total of 94 games,
from the existing 60 games. “The Twenty20 tournament will not see any
more expansion in the near future. In fact, I don't foresee an expansion
in many, many years to come but, then, you never know," Modi said. Now
are there plans to hold the IPL abroad in future, although we will play
exhibition matches in foreign countries," he added.

The IPL has grown in value since its launch two years back. In its
recent study, UK-based Brand Finance had valued the IPL brand at $4.13
billion, up from $2.01 billion in the year-ago period.
