Former Indian batter Aakash Chopra believes that in the future, we might see two editions of the Indian Premier League being played each year. However, according to the veteran, the improvements will not occur immediately and will take at least five years to prove.
The lucrative T20 tournament has experienced numerous alterations throughout the years. Two new teams, the Gujarat Titans and the Lucknow Super Giants were added to the tournament before to the 2022 season.
Chopra, who used to play for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), expressed confidence that the BCCI would consider adding two seasons of the IPL each year in the future.
"When you talk about this, then you feel if two IPLs are required. It does not matter whether it is required or not. Will it happen or won't happen? That is the big question and I feel it will happen," Chopra was quoted as saying on his official YouTube channel.
"It will not happen now, it will not happen in this rights cycle, it will not happen in the next five years, but it will happen in the five years after that. It will 100% happen, there will be a big IPL, where there will be 94 matches, and one small IPL which will be over in one month, where all teams will play each other maybe once," he added.
Gujarat titans won the IPL 2022 season against Rajasthan Royals at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.
