on 21 may 2013, just two days after finishing its league campaign, sahara withdrew pune warriors india from the ipl for the second time in three years. the reason, according to bcci, was the encashing of the team's bank guarantee after sahara defaulted on paying the entire franchise fee. bcci sources said that sahara paid 20% of the franchise fee in january 2013 and had promised to pay the remaining amount by 19 may 2013 but they failed to do so. but sahara blamed bcci for the decision to pull out the pune franchise from the ipl. in a statement from sahara after pulling out pune warriors india from the ipl, it stated that sahara had to pull out of ipl due to the bcci's stubborn and disinterested attitude towards the reduction of the pune team's franchise fee. it also stated that sahara was "disgusted" by the unsporting and biased attitude of the bcci towards it and the pune franchise despite its supporting of indian cricket for more than a decade, the decision to withdraw from the ipl was final and it will not return to the ipl even if the entire franchise fee is waived by the bcci. however, it added that sahara would remain the sponsor of the indian cricket team until december 2013, when its contract with the bcci expires, following which it asked the bcci to find a new sponsor for the team. speaking to the media on 24 may 2013, subrata roy said that the attitude of bcci president and india cements chairman n. srinivasan towards sahara and the pune franchise was the main reason for the withdrawal of sahara from ipl and indian cricket and also added that sahara would never be associated with indian cricket as long as srinivasan is at the helm of bcci affairs.
