Lalit Modi’s latest bold comments about the league he founded have sparked new debate in cricket circles.
Modi claimed the IPL wouldn’t be this successful without his vision, saying it wouldn’t have worked without him.
Modi said people were jealous and that IPL’s success depended on him. He pointed out that, even after 17 years away, people still talk to him because of what he built.
Modi said the IPL idea came from research and his experience. He believes others failed to copy it, and he wouldn’t change anything if he did it again.
Modi regrets leaving India without finishing key work. He says IPL’s founder should be on the board and feels he gave BCCI too much control. He believes governance should have been shared with IPL owners.
Some credit IPL’s success to Modi, while others say many people helped the league grow.
Years later, Lalit Modi still draws attention, with his latest comments putting his IPL legacy back in focus.
