She would have been gone in any case. She's been looking to sell off her stake in the team since the last IPL.

Huh, the only thing I liked was RR.

Weird goings on. Can you imagine the Premier League going "hmm, today I think I'll scrap Liverpool and West Ham" or some other teams?!

Why not? There's been talk of shady financial dealings behind the acquisition of the RR franchise for a while now.

I hope Watson gets picked up by KKR.

I would just expect them to force out the owners, or whoeverhas done the shady dealings. Seems incredible to throw two whole teams away.

Watto to KKR would be pretty cool.

Twitter reactions

Source:IPL news: Twitter reactions to scrapping of IPL franchises | Cricket News | Indian Premier League 2011 | Cricinfo.com

Shane warne:
"The Teams is what makes the IPL. With what Bcci has done today - is something that will only harm the image of the IPL and Bcci"

"They are hell bent on destroying something that we as Indians are proud of - The IPL. So as to satisfy there personal Agendas."

"The status of all teams is the same. They were all approved. There is no ambiguity as far as that is concerned.The action it totally illegal."

Shane Warne
"What now for the youngsters, I hope bcci come to there senses , fingers crossed !"
"The royals gave young unknown Indian players a chance and I as captain backed them, and our coaching staff supported them we were a team."

"3 seasons ago royals won the first ever ipl, underdogs come good what a story, it helped give credibility to the competition !!! Now look.."

@TheShilpaShetty hey Shilpa, please keep me posted if you hear anything , such sad news for us and our loyal fans, shattering to all !!!

Shilpa Shetty
"This is 4 all those who want my reaction"Honestly too shocked to react,just disheartened..cause its more than just a team 4 us!Still hav ..."
"Still havnt recd the termination will react after.Need to kno the basis of this decision"In London nowabout 2 hours ago."

Vijay Mallya
"I wonder if IPL franchisees r serious stakeholders whose investments n participation r respected or r they slaves who only come n play ?"
"@TheShilpaShetty this is down right ridiculous and raises serious questions on the attitude of the BCCI towards IPL franchisees."

Graeme Smith

Haha, collapsing under its own weight. Hilarious. The for-profit businessmen who own the teams haven't really met the vindictive bastards that they made their bed with. They were protected from all that by Modi.

Welcome to the cluster**** that is the BCCI. Enjoy your stay.

This.

Modi ran the IPL and got them on the basis of his contacts and assurances.

Now with him out and IPL in the hands of the jerks that run BCCI ,I see the IPL going down hill from now on.
The decision making process will be slowed down from now on and be too righteous.

And the best thing is there is no accountability.The BCCI stooges don't feel the need to explain any decision to any one.

Even the Government has to explain to media and Is to be held accountable by Judiciary and the opposition ,but it seems these BCCI stooges have no accountability and are above everything as long all of them are in a cosy cuddle.
