Lalit Modi, the visionary behind the Indian Premier League (IPL), has stirred fresh controversy with serious allegations against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), a team that has won five IPL titles. Modi accused former BCCI chairman N Srinivasan, also the owner of India Cements, which controls CSK, of fixing bids to benefit the franchise.
Srinivasan has faced scrutiny in the past for conflicts of interest, especially during his tenure as BCCI president. Lalit Modi’s fallout with Srinivasan escalated in 2010 when Modi faced charges related to financial irregularities in the IPL, leading him to leave India. His claims have reignited debates on governance in Indian cricket and the IPL’s integrity, which generates billions annually in global viewership and sponsorships. Let’s see how social media has reacted to it.
