The sale, announced in a newspaper advertisement on Thursday, was to be through a bidding process that was to be completed on 13 September, with the winning bid to be announced on the same day.[ 29] However the auction for the franchise on 13 September 2012 ended with no results as the team's owners rejecting the sole bid they received from PVP Ventures .[ 30] It was reported that Deccan Chargers owner rejected the bid by PVP ventures as DCHL's bankers were not happy with PVP's plan to divide the bid amount in two parts over the next ten years.[ 30] Later on 14 September 2012, the IPL governing council terminated the Chargers for breaching contract terms.[ 4] The Sun TV Network won the bid for the Hyderabad franchise, the BCCI confirmed on 25 October 2012.[ 5] The new team was named the Sunrisers Hyderabad .[ 6]
