Indians have been fascinated by sports, especially the ones where glamour, glitz and money make a magical mix. IPL season 3 has been a revelation for most people. Not so much for the hidden talent but about the alleged use of black money and the arm-twisting to get the ownership bids for teams.
Strange though it might seem, we Indians continue to watch this Season 3 circus even though the verdict of the games may well have been pre-destined. Stranger still is the Income Tax department that has suddenly woken up the presence of crores of black money funnelling into this circus and going back to the owners as white money.
Betting, black money, threats, and political one-upmanship, IPL has it all. Lalit Modi the architect and archangel of IPL has now become the arch rival of the now sacked Tharoor.
What happened? The famous Mr Tharoor who was known more for his Tweets than his diplomacy now faces political oblivion. His keen interest in getting sweat equity for his pal, Sunanda has cost him his job. Heads have rolled in the Congress.
Next head to roll in IPL will be Tharoor. Needless to say, isn't the action off the field better than the one on it? Bravo Modi.... we love such sling matches.. Keep it up. We hope the IPL season 4 is more dramatic than this one. 100% entertainment.
