Cranking up the ante may be an IPL staple, but what’s happening these days could make Don King swoon. The ‘world’s hottest sports league’ (Forbes feels so) is in boilover mode. Lalit Modi, the man considered cricket’s shiniest trophy is now the ornament whose plating is starting to chip. Not on television though because that is both his and the IPL’s kingdom. Modi still shows up in our air space, trailed by plumes of coloured smoke and words saying that his latest enemy-in-chief had an agenda which “will be taken down.” Oo, Dirty Harry, eat your heart out.
