After Bombay High Court ruling of shifting the Indian Premier League out of drought-hit Maharashtra, the IPL  has shortlisted new venues for the final and playoff matches.

The IPL 2016 final is likely to take place in Bangalore’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium, while the eliminator and Qualifier 2 could take place at the Eden Gardens.

Matches that were slated to take place in Mumbai, Pune and Nagpur will be moved out to different venues, because of water-shortage in the state.

According to IPL chairman Rajiv Shukla, the matches will be moved out to new venues in Raipur, Jaipur, Kanpur and Visakhapatnam.

He also informed that the newcomers Rising Pune Supergiants have asked to make Visakhapatnam their home venue for the season, and the IPL governing council will take a call on it.

“After speaking to the franchises, we have given them four options: Raipur, Jaipur, Kanpur and Visakhapatnam. Mumbai Indians have asked for time till day after tomorrow,” Shukla said.

“Pune has given Visakhapatnam as its preference,” he added. “We will put the proposal of Pune team before the governing council.”

Mumbai Indians, meanwhile, will now have to chose among Raipur, Jaipur and Kanpur as their new home ground.
