Overview
- An RR operations team recently inspected Pune’s MCA Stadium, airport access and logistics.
- The franchise has emailed the Maharashtra Cricket Association to request four home fixtures at Gahunje, with remaining home games proposed for Guwahati.
- MCA officials acknowledge talks and say president Rohit Pawar wants the IPL to return to Pune.
- RCB have explored Pune as an option because Bengaluru’s Chinnaswamy currently lacks clearance after a fatal victory-parade stampede, though their discussions are less advanced and they sought time until the December auction.
- Any relocation depends on MCA readiness checks and a final decision by the BCCI, and no approvals have been announced.
