- Brabourne Stadium (Mumbai):
Mumbai, a city with as many as three international cricket grounds will not be using the Brabourne stadium in this tournament. A recent controversy has seen games completely shifted out of the state of Maharashtra and this will leave the Brabourne stadium without a game this season in the IPL.
Just two years ago, it hosted the eliminator game between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings and the atmosphere on the night was just electric. However, the ground has found no takers this season and will miss out on the action all season long. This is one stadium the BCCI should make sure that it hosts a minimum number of games every year.
