"There were two impediments over RCA and the ground in Jaipur. Now, RCA is back into the fold.
"A recce has been done at the SMS and the court has ordered termination of lease and it will now be extended till the end of the IPL. So things looks settled for Jaipur," Chaudhary said in his opening remarks before the start of IPL auctions.
IPL Chairman Rajiv Shukla, meanwhile, welcomed Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals back in the league after serving a two-year suspension.
"Our family is again united with eight original franchises. So, I would like to welcome Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals," Shukla said.
A total of 580 cricketers will be up for sale in the two-day auction starting today, but Shukla said their main emphasis is on domestic players.
"The good thing about this year's IPL was that when the auction process was announced more than 1100 players registered themselves. Out of which, after elimination process, 580 players will be going under the hammer," he said.
