wankhede — The IPL final had to be shifted out of the Wankhede Stadium

This was one of the major controversies of this year’s IPL as drought-affected states in Maharashtra and other areas forced some IPL matches to get shifted.

The Bombay High Court ordered the BCCI to shift the matches from Maharashtra keeping in mind the worsening state of drought in the state. The final which was slated to take place at the Wankhede had to be shifted to the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore as well.

Former greats like Sunil Gavaskar and Rahul Dravid felt that the IPL was being unnecessary blamed for the debacle and there are other reasons as well.

The saga surely stirred a lot of problems as plenty of matches had to be shifted and rescheduled quickly.
