Lalit Modi accuses the CSK Owner Srinivasan of match-fixing..!?

The mega auction for the IPL series was held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. While the mega auction has been conducted in a grand manner, the fans of the respective teams are discussing how their team has come. In this situation, the interview of Lalit Modi, the former chairman of the IPL series, is causing a stir. The things that Lalit Modi has said about the CSK team and its owner Srinivasan have caused various confusion and doubts among the fans. Speaking in it, Lalit Modi said that Srinivasan, the former bcci president, does not think that t20 league cricket will be successful in India. He did not like the start of the IPL series. But after the IPL series was won, many people joined. At that time, Srinivasan was the bcci secretary. I was in the exact opposite position to him. When the IPL series started, Srinivasan did many wrong things. He was involved in umpire fixing. He directly made it an accusation.
Similarly, the umpires from chennai acted in the matches played by the chennai team. That was wrong. When I openly questioned it, he turned against me. Why so much, he even fixed the IPL auction. He was serious about having english player Flintoff in the CSK team. All the other teams know that information very well. If he does not do what he asks, Srinivasan will not let the IPL series be held. He will be an obstacle. So we ourselves told all the teams not to lift the paddle to Flintoff. He said that I told every team myself.
In that interview, he also said that the IPL series was a series that was born from my imagination. CSK was banned from playing in the IPL series for two years, 2016 and 2017. This ban was brought due to match-fixing allegations. CSK got into this problem due to the fault of the owners.
Furthermore, there is no basis for the allegations made by Lalit Modi. Because CSK bought Flintoff in the 2009 IPL auction for a high amount. If it had happened as Lalit Modi says, CSK could have bought him for a lower amount. Similarly, Flintoff played 4 matches in that season and returned to the national team.

Knowing this, CSK bought Flintoff. Srinivasan did not need to take such a big risk for Flintoff, who played a few matches. Similarly, the IPL series is a re-creation of the ICL series conducted by Kapil Dev. It is noteworthy that players like ambati rayudu and Stuart Binny, who played in the ICL series, have been suffering for a long time due to not getting a bcci contract.
