There are rumors that the IPL 2022 will be featuring 10 teams. The BCCI is in desperate need of cash, as the cancellation of IPL 2021 has left them with a hole of ₹25 billion. The addition of two teams should bring enough money to the board, to neutralize any losses from this year. Also, a mega player auction is scheduled for next year. Since some of the corporate billionaires such as Adani are interested in an IPL franchise, I strongly suspect that one of the teams may be from Gujarat. The second one may be either from Uttar Pradesh, or Madhya Pradesh.
