History

edit

In September 2014 it was announced that the inaugural champions of the Hockey India League Ranchi Rhinos had withdrawn, after the owners Patel-Uniexcel Group had come to a disagreement with Hockey India.[2] A month later a new ownership group made of Indian conglomerate Individuals Rahul Srivastava and India cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni had bought the franchise rights, which they named Ranchi Rays.[3]
