PICS : RACE HOTS UP FOR OWNING IPL STYLE INDIAN SUPER LEAGUE FOOTBALL TEAMS

Indian football captain Sunil Chhetri is of the opinion that Indian Super League will help lift the standard of football in the country. "If we talk about the technical aspect, it will be great for us to gain the experience. What is important is the level of football, the standard of coaching which will help football grow. It's obvious they wouldn't be playing as the same way they used to, but it will be important as they would share their experience which will be huge for us. But more importantly, it will be about coaching," Chhetri told reporters. Kolkata, Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Guwahati, Goa, Chennai, Pune and Cochin are the cities up for grabs and the top eight bidders will get to own the teams in the cities of their choice.
