NEW DELHI: The Indian Premier League final scheduled on May 12 was on Monday shifted from Chennai to Hyderabad after the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) did not get requisite permission from the federal government to open the 3 closed stands.
While the Chennai Super Kings still have a chance to play Qualifier 1 at house if they end among the most sensible two teams in the league, but the Eliminator (May 8) and Qualifier 2 (May 10) has been shifted to Visakhapatnam.
"We had to shift the matches from Chennai to Hyderabad after TNCA intimated us that they have not procured the requisite permission to open the three stands I, J and K," Committee of Administrators (CoA) chief Vinod Rai told PTI on Monday.
"Since the gate sales of the knock-out matches is BCCI's prerogative, we had to take a call. We would be having two knock-out matches in Vizag," he added.
The 3 stands make up for more than 12,000 tickets and BCCI would have misplaced out on a couple of crores of gate cash.
The stands have remained closed since 2012 save one global match between India and Pakistan when an exception was made.
Asked if all the knock-out suits' ticket sales are BCCI's prerogative, why was Qualifier 1 allotted to Chennai, Rai reasoned: "CSK, by virtue of being defending champions, were allotted the Qualifier 1 and final. Now if they finish in the top two, you cannot take away all the games. They deserve to get at least one of the knock-out games."
Hyderabad handiest got the overall and now not the Eliminator or Qualifier as a result of the overall elections in the Cyber town on May 6, 8 and 10.
The first three-team mini women's IPL will be held from May 6-10 in Jaipur with a new group Velocity being added to the prevailing Trailblazers and Supernovas.
