Spot Fixing CSK To Lose IPL Franchise

CSK ,Chennai Super Kings, who is owned by N.Sinivasan , The BCCI Prsident , is set to lose its Franchisee-ship of IPL.

Reason the current scandal involving Gurunath Meiyappan,CSK Boss, who has been arrested for his Links with the Bookies and 'bets' in IPL Matches.

Investigation is On.

The IPL Contract with the Franchisees states ,

BCCI may terminate this agreement Group Company with immediate effect...if the Franchisee,any Franchisee Group Company/and/or any owner acts in any way which has a material adverse effect upon the reputation or standing of The League"(Clause 12.3)

On this ground CSK who have won two Finals and are a semifinalist,is set to lose its Franchise.

CSK is trying to evade this by declaring that Gurunath Meiyappan is not connected to CSK , excepting as an Honorary member of the Management.

The IPL Match Fixing is getting murkier.

I indicated in a post ,couple days of ago, raising some questions for ICC,BCCI,Franchises and a post expressing my view that in view of the proximity of MS Dhoni to N.Srinivasan,BCCI President, that Dhoni might be questioned for the IPL Match fixing because of the closeness of Sakshi Dhoni with Sakshi Jhula, who is a close friend of the arrested Sreeesanth.

I expect this in a couple of days after the excitement of the IPL6 Final is over, to avoid excessive publicity and a drop in match attendance.
