There have been scandals in the IPL, and some teams have acquired fame only to be dismantled. This article will look at the five teams that are no longer a part of the voyage.
Deccan Chargers
When the competition was first formed in 2008, the Hyderabad-based franchise was one of the teams that took part. In the inaugural edition, they finished ninth, but in 2009, when the IPL was hosted in South Africa, they won the championship.
Kochi Tuskers Kerala
It was headquartered in Kochi, Kerala, and was one of two teams that were added to the existing sides in 2011. It was owned by Kochi Cricket Pvt Ltd, a group of enterprises that had bought VVS Laxman, Mahela Jayawardene, Parthiv Patel, and Ravindra Jadeja’s services. However, the franchise was canceled before the IPL 2012 season began since the owners were unable to give a 10% bank guarantee to the BCCI.
Pune Warriors India
The Pune Warriors, like the Kochi Warriors, were founded in 2011. The team was owned by Sahara Group Sports Ltd. and competed in the IPL for three seasons. However, due to financial disagreements with the BCCI, they were unable to perform as promised and were forced to disband.
Gujarat Lions
Gujarat Lions was appointed as the replacement when Rajasthan Royals were banned for two years following the spot-fixing incident, and they played two IPL seasons in 2016 and 2017. Suresh Raina was the CEO of Intex Technologies, which owned them. They finished third in their first season but were unable to repeat the feat in 2017. When Rajasthan Royals returned to the fold in 2018, they had to disband.
Rising Pune Supergiant
The Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS) was founded in 2015 as a replacement for the suspended Chennai Super Kings and was owned by Sanjiv Goenka’s RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group. They made it to the playoffs in 2016 and the finals in 2017 but were forced to disband after CSK was re-admitted to the IPL in 2018.
