Is the IPL now a hub of corruption and deceit?

Yes , they are taking it as a business .

Let us start avoiding these private clubs like BCCI etc. People should force BCCI stop calling its team as TEAM INDIA. India and our patriotism is misused to amass millions for private persons and clubs. Wonder why govt of India is giving BCCI tax exemption.

Similarly all societies/trusts which are enriching private persons in the guise of public charitable units enjoying tax benefits should be nationalised.

off course u have a right point. now someone should rethink and decide for the betterment of nation rather then creating a diff.

OUR NATION HITHERTO HAS SEEN SO MANY SCANDALS.VOLUMES STARTING FROM A FEW LAKHS,DECADES BACK AND IN HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS OF CRORES NOW.IPL IS ANOTHER SATHYAM,NEWS OF WHICH WILL SOON VANISH INTO THIN AIR,AND WE WILL ALL BE TALKING,DISCUSSING ABOUT SOME OTHER SCANDALS.LIFE WILL CONTINUE AS EVER AND CRICKET, IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY OTHER SPORTING ENTERTAINMENT WILL CONTINUE TO GROW AND MAKE FEW PEOPLE RICHER AND RICHER.

Yes...just another 

IPL soon to be known as “Indian Political League”, and when is Politicking rid of corruption and deceit?

Possibly the one unchallenged fact is that the entire area of finance and accounts of the IPL is shrouded; transparency is something that is missing so far with the administration of the IPL so long.

The lack of transparency anywhere begets the belief that there is something - or many things to hide! I've a feeling that many hands in this mess are not quite clean. I don't think it's only the roles of Mr Lalit Modi, Mr Shashi Tharoor and a few others who are in the limelight at the moment needs to be probed. A thorough and unbiased examination of the entire setup is needed to make the IPL regain its lost glory.

yes Ms.Namrata Pathak and I accept with you.

Corruption is firmly rooted in the way of our life in each & everything. What to do? and who will bell the cat?

Well, Mr. Prabhakar Rao, the truth is that the skeletons will not come out. Actually the reason that Modi and Tharoor are sacked is to push all the debris under the carpet. Create all the hue and cry of the issue, sack a few people and make some scapegoats, form a committee to investigate the whole affair, keep releasing periodic statements, keep the left happy, keep the right happy ( the center is always happy :-) ), etc., etc.

Meanwhile there would be a major shakeup in BCCI and some more (or different) Politicians, bureaucrats and businessmen would enter the bandwagon and keep the wheel keeps churning. Those politicos who do not or are not capable to enter the fray would keep shouting foul.

After a while, maybe some scapegoats would be booked and cases filed against them. These cases files would be chilling in the cupboards of the court till the hearing comes up and it becomes a “Big One Day – All Day (Only) News” for all the news channels, where personalities like Sagarika Gosh and Srinivasan Jain would conduct their own trail in the presence of cricket celebrities and pronounce an ambiguous verdict. This cycle would continue for a few years.

All the while the IPL series would continue with or without more allegations.

Actually it is better to accept all this is all a part of the game…. The part of the Modern Game. Enjoy the melodrama.  No one is bothered or cares about the principle of fair-play, honesty, etc. All people want is a good dose of entertainment after a hard day’s work.

BTW : There is too much money involved. It is better for the politicians to let things as they are … (i.e.) let the BCCI to remain a non nationalized entity (Private) because of the possibility of swindling more money (if it remains private). Also, cricket in India makes the TV Channels to rake in profits. It helps advertisers. It helps former cricketers and umpires. It creates an experts out of a common man giving him an ego boost and making him happy. Etc. etc. etc.

Hence, even with all these corruption let the game continue …

Yes, entertainment fraught with mega, black bucks.

Now that Tharoor is sacked, the next to go would be Modi and the skeletons - one after the other will come out of the closet, in due course.

IPL 90% entertainment and 10% cricket. It's festival in India. Wherever money is there corruption becomes a part of it. It can't be separated. Publics are made foools in this.

Yesterday, in one of the news in “Sun News”, local (Tamil) news channel, there was this report that mentioned something like this :–

It is suspected that there may be rampant gambling in the IPL because, in many of his tweets, Lalit Modi, has correctly and precisely predicted the outcome. Like for instance in the DD Vs CSK match, Modi had mentioned in his tweet that DD would win by 6 wickets and in the KKR Vs RR Match in the last IPL he had stated that the match would finish in a tie and in the super over RR would win. There is also speculation that the strategic time out is used to fix the game.

My point is that neither Cochin nor Rajasthan are great Cricketing powers of the country. Hence, why should there be a team for these centers? (Rajasthan has a team only because of Lalit Modi). Whereas, Gujarat, Haryana, UP and MP don’t have a team, there is a second team for Maharashtra.

All the same, I have to accept that just like a good movie where the script and the action have already been shot and is very entertaining (Even when we see it after reading the reviews in the papers), IPL, with its pre written script and live action provides rich entertainment.

And of course, some bigwigs are making stinking-ly lots of money. 

You are absolutely right Mam; In my opinion Mr.Modi & Mr.Tharoor both are doing no good for Indian cricket.I can understand the sentiment of Kerala people at the same time putting weight behind to grab the maximum pie by Mr.Tharoor not acceptable. Mr.Modi of late become very rich and in our country rich people commands. His ego can hurt if Mr.Tharoor put his ministerial ego forward.

I think it is money that matters the most & who is going to earn maximum. I wonder that 74 of Our CRPF jawan killed by Maoist,one chief minister has denied to give a single penny to those hapless jawan,s family. In a country where children's are asked eat mud as no food available to 33% of population. In contrary in IPL thousands of Crores are exchanging few hands and above all people are fighting for money & more money.

This sucks man..
