Full List of decisions taken at BCCI WC meeting: It's Vivo IPL from next year

Mumbai, Oct 18: The next year's Indian Premier League (IPL) will have a new title sponsor with the exit of Pepsi. Vivo mobiles will be the new partner of the Twenty20 tournament, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced today.

At the BCCI's Working Committee meeting in Mumbai on Sunday (October 18), it was decided to award the title sponsorship to Vivo mobiles. Pepsi, last week, exited from its 5-year Rs 396-crore deal 2 years early after the league was hit by several controversies. Pepsi signed the IPL title sponsorship deal in 2012 for 5 years (till 2017).

"The IPL title sponsorship right has been assigned to M/S Vivo mobiles. Vivo is to give the Bank Guarantee in next ten days," BCCI said in a media advisory.

There were other decisions taken including 2 new teams to replace the suspended Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR).
