Saif, Bebo drop the idea of buying IPL team

Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor desired to buy the IPL team, Pune
jointly with Karishma Kapoor and her husband Sanjay Kapoor but the last
minute change in plans by the IPL commissioner Lalit Modi has ruined
their plan and now Saif is no longer interested in buying the team.
There have been some changes in the rules of the biding process and a
fresh bidding will be held after eight days but Saif dropped the plan.
Says Saif, "Yes, we were interested in buying the Pune team but the
bidding process was cancelled and the rules were changed. Kareena and I
had submitted our bid and there was one other person but Lalit (Modi)
cancelled it. It would've been great if we could have bought the Pune
team and entered the IPL as I love cricket too (his dad is one of
India's former cricket captains, Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi)."
Talking about his future course of action, Saif said, "Whether we will
still be interested or not will depend on how the rules have changed
and what value the teams will be sold at. It has to be at a certain
price. It's an investment for us and we have to buy something that's
worth something. We can't end up losing money if it's not a sound
investment."
It was also rumored that Ajay Devgan
and Sanjay Dutt also discussed to buy an IPL team jointly.
