Former IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi had previously chastised the BCCI for allowing better companies to access the IPL platform.
“I suppose betting companies can purchase an IPL franchise.” There has to be a new regulation. One of the qualifying bidders appears to be the owner of a large betting organization. So, what’s next? Is BCCI slacking on their homework? In such a circumstance, what can Anti-Corruption do? “#cricket,” Moody wrote on Twitter.
The CVC had already invested in sports such as rugby, football, and Formula 1 before joining the IPL industry. Apart from CVC, the RPSG Group, owned by Sanjeev Goenka, purchased the Lucknow-based team for INR 7090 crores.
The auction for the next edition, according to insiders. Will take place in the first or second week of February. However, the big auction’s host city has yet to be determined.
