THE CZAR OF CRICKET
Maverick Commissioner—The IPL-Lalit Modi Saga authored by Boria Majumdar, one of India’s most influential commentators, is a well-written and insightful read. It provides an unbiased take on the now infamous IPL scandal that happened back in 2010 and rocked the cricketing world resulting in the ousting and flight of its founder Lalit Kumar Modi. Majumdar’s dedicated research into the inner workings of the IPL helps to understand how this organisation came to be and Lalit Modi’s role in its founding. Starting with the conception and its early glory days, Maverick Commissioner quickly gets into the scandal that cricketing fans will remember all too well. Furthermore, the book is chock-full of interviews conducted with a variety of individuals—fans, lawyers and top brass of the BCCI. He provides the readers with information that will—in a way never seen before—shed light on one of the largest scandals in the world of sports. Presenting here an excerpt on what happened behind the scenes when the Kochi delegation—headed by then external affairs minister Shashi Tharoor and wife Sunanda Pushkar— went to meet Lalit Modi to get the franchise agreement signed by him.
