BCCI BeSahara ho gayi.

Doubt it, but the feeling amongst all franchisees is that Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings are being favored in certain things over the others.

I think the heigths which IPL reached have been reduced, but don't think it will end. It has been on a downward spiral since Modi left.
