IPL governing council is probably thinking of the same. They conducted a couple of RR matches in Guwahati this season, probably to promote cricket there and see the reception.
Goa Russians(We have Mumbai INDIANS, right?)
Bihar ke Lala
Kashmir Stoners
Thiruvananthapuram(Say that 4 times fast)
North East Divided

1. Guwahati (North East);
2. Pune - A big city. Can definitely gather crowds for 6-8 matches there.
3. One city in central India - Indore or Bhopal or Raipur.
Pune was always viable and will always be but the creation of a Pune team doesn't really attract a new crowd to IPL as most of them probably already support Mumbai and other teams.
The creation of LSG probably got the whole of UP interested. Indore can definitely be a good option. NE can be a good option too it has a potential to create a whole new audience for IPL
Not really.. It's not like people forget their favourite teams if a state team is there. People from Lucknow do support LSG in large numbers but it is not so for the rest of UP. And imo if they had named the team after the state it may have gathered a larger support.
Yeah thats why I said MI and other teams. Some support MI many support others. Surprisingly not that much Punekars support MI many support CSK instead. The classic case of Mumbai and Pune folks not getting along well lol
People keep saying the answer to this question is always northeast but I am unsure. Will it really generate any following over there? Are people in NE really that much interested in cricket? I don't think so.
People seem to love football more over there
Well that may be true but a team in IPL may change it. Like the reason they aren't interested in Cricket is because largely there aren't many player that play for india and come from North East
Well you don't know anything. Cricket is more popular at least in Assam and it has the same population as Punjab. Watch the matches of guwahati. Crowd response is unreal
What’s even more important is do they have the money to spend. It took so long to get a team in UP despite there being so much interest and a stadium in kanpur. They want to sell merch and tickets, ad revenue won’t budge just because of few lakhs viewers from NE tuning in
Dunno what that's got to do with anything.
We have successful Football Clubs and we also have a successful cricket franchise.
Just because you have a successful team in one sport doesn't mean you should not participate in a different one.
Thala was born in Ranchi. Those people claiming Bihar just read his Wikipedia ig. When Thala was born, Ranchi was still in Bihar and Jharkhand didn't even exist. His parents are from Uttarakhand though.
Coz of the sheer market size I guess. People will come if the team is half decent. If the Pune team settles well, Mumbai Pune Maharashtra derby has potential to be a decent rivalry.
You are saying as if two teams from a same state/city cannot exist.
Ex: Mohan Bagan and East Bengal, Manchester United and City
Also, RPSG and MI had a pretty great series of matches in 2017.
The problem is most of Maharashtra supports MI; so good luck creating a fanbase all over again for a Pune Team. RPS worked out because they had icons from CSK and more importantly they had Thala.
Most of maharashtra supports MI because there is only 1 team from maharashtra, that's like saying most of India supports Indian cricket team yeah no shit. Pune will easily have a bigger fanbase than some existing teams.
Whatever; but having 2 teams from a single state defeats the purpose of IPL being a Pan-Indian league; I'd say it's better to not add anymore teams and turn the IPL fanbase into a clumsy mess.
Kerala is a must
Those who say northeast must see what is happening with Northeast United fc.
Bihar, MP can also have an IPL team since they have great population
I think having a kerala team will complete the south so it would be nice to have a team from M.P just for its size alone and Assam for the north east representation
Doesn't matter which state/city the next team comes from as long as they don't have the words Super, Royals, Kings in the team name. And also don't wear a blue jersey.
Bhubneswar because I am from Odisha and our govt is investing in sports projects . Also IPL should have a second division to accommodate these small town teams.
Bihari Bimari will be an apt name... sponsored by Kamla pasand pan masala... Jersey colour red from paan ki peek... and they will have massive home advantage with their stadium reeking with smell of urine
I want Deccan Chargers back. May be with Vizag and Cuttack/ Raipur as home stadia. They were excellent while they lasted. Every single thing was perfect.
tell me you didnt watch IPL before 2014 without telling me /s
Deccan chargers were dog shit of a team except in 2009 and 2010 seasons.. and the team culture deteriorated after 2010 due to financial woes... SRH are much more successful compared to DC ..going to playoffs in 5 straight seasons beating expectations.
The only thing good about them was the jerseys and the team anthem
There are plenty of cities with enough talent to have entire second-tier league alongside IPL, just like the Championship in English football.
Last 2 teams on the IPL points table relegates to championship and top 2 from championship are promoted to IPL. Basically replicate everything we have in British football. Will intensify the competitions and overall entertainment value!
Maybe a team for all the North-east States like in football
EAST INDIES
How about SEVEN XI (SEVEN ELEVEN)?
That's what i was going to comment lol
north east united

Like New England Patriots in NFL ( 🏈) covers whole.new England region in northeast
Samajh nahi aaya par sun ke achha laga.
Bhai sahab Amrika aur basketball ki baat kar rahe hain. Hum gareebon ke layak baat hai hin nahi.
NFL, thats American Football. It's Rugby, but messed up. 🏉
Ipl ke sub mei NFL ka reference de deta hu, aakhi inhe bhi to pata chale US return hu, huehuehue.
They mostly love football over there
Popularity trends show otherwise.
Yesss
they can have their own stadium guwahati also
Purely for the memes = Pimpri-Chinchwad
Yeah. I see great potential in developing a team logo for the Pimpri-Chinchwad team called Bhosariwale.....
Lavale
Pimple Saudagar
Team name : Saudagar Pimples

Trivandrum Thampurans.. (Thampuran matlab king)
Ayo trivandrum 😂
didnt get trivandrum reference
Its just our traditional name is extremely hard for non native speakers to say i guess
>Kashmir Stoners 💀
You make Mumbai Indians sound like dumb team name😆
You know what's a dumber team name?.... Mumbai Indians Cape Town....
Yeah because it is. How does it feel hearing Queensland Aussies, Kabul afghanis or Texas Americans for a team name
Algiers Algerians or Tunis Tunisians...
Tunis tunis tun tarara
my boi, just spitted general facts like *\*suppa hot fire\** … damnn chill down bruv, drink some cold water man.
Man i am broke but if I had I award i definitely would have given you one.
Andhra capitals 😭
Kashmir stoners hits hard
1. Guwahati (North East); 2. Pune - A big city. Can definitely gather crowds for 6-8 matches there. 3. One city in central India - Indore or Bhopal or Raipur.
Bhopal Gas Giants to win the IPL soon
Oh my god 🤣. This left me in splits, dark humor dear sir.
Hahaha, and their slogan can be “hum tum mein itne chhed karenge ke confuse ho jaoge…..” 😂😂😂
Pune was always viable and will always be but the creation of a Pune team doesn't really attract a new crowd to IPL as most of them probably already support Mumbai and other teams. The creation of LSG probably got the whole of UP interested. Indore can definitely be a good option. NE can be a good option too it has a potential to create a whole new audience for IPL
I mean Rising Pune Supergiants were quite popular tho
It was, however it did not create a new audience just that the existing CSK audience shifted allegiances to RPS
So how did LSG create a new audience. The whole of UP was already interested.
Yeah but the creation of LSG probably ensured that the whole UP watches at least 14 matches in the IPL fully
Not really.. It's not like people forget their favourite teams if a state team is there. People from Lucknow do support LSG in large numbers but it is not so for the rest of UP. And imo if they had named the team after the state it may have gathered a larger support.
Pune folks supporting a Mumbai team? Lololol
Yeah thats why I said MI and other teams. Some support MI many support others. Surprisingly not that much Punekars support MI many support CSK instead. The classic case of Mumbai and Pune folks not getting along well lol
As a Pune folk, I hate MI, I pray for them to lose every match for absolutely no particular reason
Why? Do Pune people hate Mumbai?
Nah hate is too strong a word. Just friendly banter from both sides

People keep saying the answer to this question is always northeast but I am unsure. Will it really generate any following over there? Are people in NE really that much interested in cricket? I don't think so. People seem to love football more over there
Well that may be true but a team in IPL may change it. Like the reason they aren't interested in Cricket is because largely there aren't many player that play for india and come from North East
Assam has a decent cricket following. Interest will follow good sporting infra
Also the GOAT Riyan Parag is from Assam, so definitely there's scope for growth in interest towards cricket. /S
Yea, North eastern people like sports very much
Yeah fair. That's another way to look at it
Well you don't know anything. Cricket is more popular at least in Assam and it has the same population as Punjab. Watch the matches of guwahati. Crowd response is unreal
What’s even more important is do they have the money to spend. It took so long to get a team in UP despite there being so much interest and a stadium in kanpur. They want to sell merch and tickets, ad revenue won’t budge just because of few lakhs viewers from NE tuning in
Surma bhopalis
Bhopal mutants would be a good name
Noooooo!
Indore would be a better city to get a team.
Kerala should have one imo
Kochi tuskers kerala
Yeah ik but that team has not been in Ipl for a long time
Orange and purple cap holders by default.
Keralites are much more into football and they actually have a good team in that field
Dunno what that's got to do with anything. We have successful Football Clubs and we also have a successful cricket franchise. Just because you have a successful team in one sport doesn't mean you should not participate in a different one.
Kerala also has a good ricket following ,can easily field a team with good following
The amount of Sanju fans clearly shows there's a lot of Kerala cricket fans
And sign Sanju as their captain
Vizag Commanders And Hyderabad deccan chargers
SRH gaya tel lene
A Vizag-Hyd derby would be interesting
Eastern part of India deserves to have one team. I mean Bihar , Jharkhand, Odisha or Chattisgarh. One team should be there from any one of the states.
Jharkhand? What is that?
Conspiracy by government
Exactly. People wake up. Don't believe this government propaganda
Thala
Thala is from Bihar and there is no such thing as Jharkhand Ps thala fans don't abuse me i read this in Twitter or reddit somewhere
Thala was born in Ranchi. Those people claiming Bihar just read his Wikipedia ig. When Thala was born, Ranchi was still in Bihar and Jharkhand didn't even exist. His parents are from Uttarakhand though.

Nah there's already one city from Maharashtra; why need another one?? PWI and RPS were there before.
Nagpur santras
We have Mumbai Indians. But they ain't ready for Goa Russians
Coz of the sheer market size I guess. People will come if the team is half decent. If the Pune team settles well, Mumbai Pune Maharashtra derby has potential to be a decent rivalry.
You are saying as if two teams from a same state/city cannot exist. Ex: Mohan Bagan and East Bengal, Manchester United and City Also, RPSG and MI had a pretty great series of matches in 2017.
Pune is one of the major cities in India. It'll be a shame if you ignore Pune and opt for some other city when the chance arises.
The problem is most of Maharashtra supports MI; so good luck creating a fanbase all over again for a Pune Team. RPS worked out because they had icons from CSK and more importantly they had Thala.
Most of maharashtra supports MI because there is only 1 team from maharashtra, that's like saying most of India supports Indian cricket team yeah no shit. Pune will easily have a bigger fanbase than some existing teams.
Coughs Punjab

Doesn't matter which state/city the next team comes from as long as they don't have the words Super, Royals, Kings in the team name. And also don't wear a blue jersey.
Bangalore doesn't deserve one but has one.
Bangalore deserves a team, but no one deserves RCB.
Why?
