We will redo a few stadiums a bit and bring back IPL with a completely different extravaganza and fandom next year," Ganguly told Sportstar.
"The last two years have been affected by COVID and the biggest thing is that despite COVID, we managed to host the tournament and this time, we finished it with great hype in Kolkata and Ahmedabad. It’s a great tournament and it will continue to thrive. But most importantly, the IPL has to go back to a home-and-away format from next year.”
