Pune has an IPL team...yesterday Sahara Pariwar accquired rights for Pune's very own IPL franchise for a whooping 1702 crores making Pune the costliest IPL team ever.Even Lalit Modi was surprised at the amount the new Pune and Kochi teams fetched.Initially when he made the claim that in 5 years IPL could be bigger than EPL there were a few scoffs but if things continue like this anything can happen.

feels wonderful to be back....and yeah i'm bigger,badder and better as well this time round

EPL team wants IPL franchise

A “top three” English Premier League club is considering buying a stake in one of two new teams in next year’s Twenty20 cricket Indian Premier League, according to IPL chief Lalit Modi.

“There is a football club, a very famous football club in the UK, very interested in bidding,” Modi told UK newspaper The Times yesterday.

“[They are] probably one of the most famous football clubs — that’s all I can say. Probably top three. They are interested in taking a stake.”

Indian football seeks IPL-style revolution

The All India Football Federation (AIFF) is considering inviting rich franchisees from the worlds of business and entertainment to buy its clubs in order to kickstart the growth of football in the cricket-mad country.

However, given the staggering amount of money such a project will involve, the AIFF is also keeping a third option open - which would see the existing I-League structure getting a brand-specific facelift, whereby the country's premier club tournament could be managed by a separate entity other than the AIFF, as per the AFC's Pro-League guidelines.

We had preliminary discussions with a few leading businessmen in the country and the project seems to have appealed to them,” said AIFF President Praful Patel. “Talks are also on for a media deal with a television company interested in broadcasting the event. But we don't want to jump the gun and are keeping several options open.”
