I know its a bit unfair for Kochi but if they get an Ahmedabad team, that would be great! Many Gujarat state based players are already playing IPL. With formidable players like Parthiv, Munaf, Siddharth (Trivedi), Zaheer (may be he used to play for Baroda before Mumbai), Yusuf, Pujara and Irfan there would be a huge fan following of course after the team. And there's always international players around so I guess it would make a good team. By the way, they can have 11 teams too. That way no need to remove Kochi from the list though it make the tournament very long.
