Vedanta chairman Anil Agarwal has pitched for the creation of an IPL franchise from Bihar, saying the state deserves its own cricketing identity just like other major Indian cities with successful teams in the league.
In a post on X, Agarwal said Bihar has produced several talented cricketers and now deserves “an unparalleled team of its own” similar to franchises such as Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders.
