It’s quite shocking to discover that never ever in the history of the Indian Premier League has a team from Uttar Pradesh competed. Uttar Pradesh is one of the largest states of the country yet it has not a single IPL team.

Kanpur’s Green Park stadium has hosted home matches of Gujarat Lions in the past but the state has failed to grab the attention of the IPL GC in having its own franchise.
