Here is the complete story.Kochi is expelled from IPL.Now the IPL is open for fresh biddings.It is been told that a team will be chosen from North India.
Bye bye Kochi!!!!!

THEY HAD NO OTHER OPTION

SAD !!!! :((  my drms of finally watching an ipl game also for now has ended…......:(( wished to see dravid play someday wished to be a fanatic fan from rcb site for kochi game ah damn ...sad to see tht the investors couldn’t resolve their long term dispute anyways lets hope a gud team comes ;((

Rinish you reside in kerala,Chennai and Bangalore are not far away,You could go to eithor of the places and see an IPL game by winning in the mighty 14 contest:)

yeah tht’s there last time planned to go to banglore but dad suddenly fell unwell hope things happen…i mean if it’s in kochi u just need to go watch and come back .....for banglore chennai u need to book a hotel etc :((

I wonder if that north indian team is not ahmedabad.

can’t say got to wait for the conclusion tomorrow kochi still has a chnce to come back in

TIMES OF INDIA says Kochi issue resolved,it means Kochi is back?

bcci says official news on 5 dec

fingers crossed hoping for the best

BCCI vice-president Rajiv Shukla has confirmed that the 2011 IPL will have 8 participating teams ..

So, sadfully, I dont think so there will be team Kochi or team Ahmedabad (as somebody said on prev comments) will be added .. And I think, one of the 8 existing teams might be replaced by Pune! And that would total up to 8.

Hope there is no team replaced and Team Ahmedabad (Ahmedabad Rockets) gets a chance to be added along side Pune!

tht’s a long procedure which i don’t think will happen so mostly kochi if their agreement is done in a proper way will be added cos once a new team has to be added will take a bit more formalities

I do understand Prince ..

That is just a wish.. Being A Gujarati, it feels good if there is a team from Gujarat! I bet it would have the most number of fan following, if Ahmedabad gets a team ..

The only thing is there are no more key players left!!
