The decision to challenge the Bombay High Court's order to shift all IPL matches out of the state post April 30 owing to the water crisis was taken earlier by the two associations and filed on Thursday.

Mumbai is home to Mumbai Indians whereas debutant franchise Rising Pune Supergiants led by Mahendra Singh Dhoni play their home games at Pune's Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium.
