Former Australian cricketer and Deccan Chargers captain Adam Gilchrist has favoured the expansion of Indian Premier League (IPL).
As the two teams (Pune and Kochi) have joined the league. ''It is good that IPL is expanding. Good substances will come up by this,'' Gilchrist said, though he refused that money factor was behind expansion of the IPL matches.
Gilchrist rather believes that passion for cricket in India was the major reason behind the IPL expansion. Sahara India Group bought the Pune team for Rs 1702 cr and Rendezvous Sports World bought the Kochi team for Rs 1533 cr in yesterday’s auction. Now, IPL has become a family of 10 teams and will play in IPL 4. The IPL matches were also expanded to 94 for the next edition. IPL Chairman yesterday announced the two new IPL teams in Chennai.
