Good news Kochiites! The Kerala Cricket Association secretary Mr. T.C Matthew has said that the Kochi IPL team name and the coach would be announced the end of the week. For those who are unaware of whats been happening here is a quick refresher. Rendezvous Sports World in March won the franchisee for the Kochi IPL team with a bid of Rs.15 billion. After winning the auction Lalit Modi created controversies to make sure the Kochi team does not materialize. The prick not only managed to bring in utter chaos into the league, but also helped him loose his job.

There has been numerous reports that Steve Waugh is being signed to coach the Kochi team. We will just have to wait for more information. And as for names why dont you have a look at the names our readers have come up with. We have names from Kochi Kryptonites to Kochi Kootharas. http://www.kochivibe.com/suggest-names-for-kochi-cochin-kerala-ipl-team/

Despite all the resistance Kochi’s IPL team had to face The Rendezvous Sports World-led consortium is all set to launch Kochi team’s name and logo in the next 15 days. Refusing to back down, Rendezvous Sports World-led consortium put up a beautiful fight.

All of Lalit Modi’s unethical attempts to make sure a Kochi team would not rise was squashed. We would like to quote The Guardian.” Lalit Modi’s clown-like conduct has caused lasting damage to IPL big top”. We could not agree more (about the clown bit).
