The BCCI’s decision also means that Mumbai Indians will be the only team that will play home matches (4). However, IPL franchises did not like this decision. Reportedly, the franchisees do not have any problem with Mumbai Indians playing their matches at any other stadium other than Wankhede Stadium. The franchisees are upset because none of the other teams are getting home matches. The franchisees hope that the BCCI will look into the matter.
