Saif-Kareena IPL plans put on hold, upset with new IPL rules!
Saif Alik Khan along with girlfriend Kareena Kapoor were eager to buy new IPL Team for Pune City however their plans were put on hold due to sudden change of regulations by IPL chairman Lalit Modi.
Talking about the issue Saif, says, “Yes, we were interested in buying the Pune team but the bidding process was cancelled and the rules were changed. Kareena and I had submitted our bid and there was one other person but Lalit (Modi) canceled it. It would’ve been great if we could have bought the Pune team and entered the IPL as I love cricket too.”
When Saif is quizzed about rebidding he says,”The whole bid was cancelled with no explanations given. It’s politics and big business. In the new system, you don’t need to be a billionaire or have 100 million in your bank account as guarantee to bid for an IPL team. In the last bidding, when the Pune and Ahmedabad teams were being auctioned only two people were bidding for the teams. Now with the changed scenario, there will be many bidders for one team.”
It would’ve been great to see Saif and Kareena add a touch of glamor to IPL like colleagues and IPL team owners SRK, Preity Zinta and Shilpa Shetty.
