the streamship HMS Modi SANK !

Just hours after the final of IPL in which Chennai Super Kings beat favorites Mumbai indians with 22 runs.. News came that IPL chief Lalit Modi is being suspended.
This was the third season of IPL(indian Players League) which was surrounded by many controversies...right from the planning stage...biggest of all was not taking the Players from Pakistan. Many Pakistani cricketers as well as their fans world over were disappointed...IPL under commissioner (chief) Lalit Modi blamed Pakistan Government and cricket Board for their decision which sounded silly because Wasim Akram the former Pakistan Skipper and Bowler was hired by Shahrukh Khan's Kolkata Knight Riders(KKR) as bowling coach...anyways I cannot put my finger on just one thing which brought the down fall of Modi...but the reason given by the Indian officials is he has been suspended for two weeks pending an investigation into the allegation of tax evasion and monetary fraud.Some politicians and Indian government officials are also believed to have been involved in this scam.A junior Minister has already been forced to resign.There was also pressure on commissioner Modi to resign but he refused said he will defend himself against all or any charges.He still claims to be the Chairmen through the twitter... in his own tweet .. Thank you all for your message of support. It is really appreciated. I am still chairman of IPL. Just suspended. Wait - we have just begun.
