The CCI found that IPL team ownership agreements were unfair and
discriminatory, and that the terms of the IPL franchise agreements
were loaded in favour of BCCI and franchises had no say in the

future denying market access to potential competitors and not use
its regulatory powers in deciding matters relating to its
commercial activities.
