BCCI Welcomes Chennai Super Kings And Rajasthan Royals Back In IPL

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), on Friday (July 14), welcomed Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) back into the Indian Premier League (IPL) after the completion of their two-year suspension imposed by the Supreme Court on corruption charges.

Both the teams were handed a two-year suspension by the Lodha Committee on July 14, 2015. But with the suspension now coming to an end, they will now be able to feature in 11th IPL edition next year.

In Super Kings and Royals’ absence, the BCCI had brought into two new franchises- Rising Pune Supergiant and Gujarat Lions.

“VIVO IPL will be enriched by the return of Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals. Both the teams have enjoyed tremendous on-field success and have a mass following. The loyal fans will again get to see their favourite teams and stars in action from the upcoming season of the VIVO IPL,” CK Khanna said.

While Rajasthan Royals were the inaugural winners of the tournament, Chennai Super Kings had become the first team to win the title twice. Till now, the Super Kings are the only team to have defended its title when they won back to back titles in 2010 and 2011.
