Sahara India has been sponsoring the Indian Cricket Team since past 11 years and also acquired Pune Warriors franchisee in IPL, but recently in a surprise development, the long-time sponsors pulled all their ties related to Board of Cricket Control in India. It is believed that the Yuvraj Singh’s episode proved to be the catalyst behind Sahara's move. They had requested the board that Sahara should be allowed to add Yuvraj Singh's price into its purse for upcoming IPL auction. But BCCI didn’t approve to it and this has prompted Sahara to terminate its contract! Don’t you think it is big mistake on BCCI’s part? Shouldn’t they have handled the matter with care?
