I havent spoken out for long time and wanted to share another perspective of the IPL mess.
When the first news came out, I was heartbroken to watch talented young player like Sreesanth went for the trap.
Arjuna Ranathunga rightly pointed that IPL is monster that’s ruining Indian Cricket.
After matches IPL Parties - boozing, girls and sex are the most common things cricketers do after the games. (And of course they get a chance our bookies too here). Like a movie story, this monster full of creeps from Bollywood and Politicians who have no interest in holding the respect for the game.
The Gentleman Game now is run by gamblers with the patronage of political parties both the congress and opposition. This investigation is a mere eyewash and will die down soon (Public has short memory, remember Coal Scam !!).
Lets come back to the point when this all started, were Rajasthan Royals management not aware of the antics of a person like Sreesanth and Chandila? Apparently a party was thrown on April 6th by a bookie in Gurgaon and Chandila attended the party.
Now would you be a owner of 130 million dollars worth club not keep a watch on team players. Otherwise Shilpa Shetty and other RR team management be so dumb they must be thinking “Oh Chandila has gone to Guragon to attend Bookie’s Party and we will play clean” oh thats great. The first one to be held responsible should be team owners and management, someone must be knowing what was going to happen.
Second - The legends of the game (those who are now working as commentators, board members, selectors) have failed to take BCCI head on. They are too guilty, they gladly accepted lucrative offers and be part of the corrupt system.
BCCI know they will thrive to make enough money to spend on parties at Five Star Hotels, special charted flights. But morality and spirit of the game have hit new low and there is no recovering of it from this point, unless miracle happens.
