CRICKET ,CORRUPTION AND COVERING-UP

Cricket is not a game in India. It is a vibrant religion, secular in practice. Sachin Tendulkar is rightly the GOD of Indian Cricket. He deserves the honour--an icon and an unblemished personality. Such a person is born once in centuries.

A billion-plus population pours billions of rupees to the controlling authority called the Board of Control of  Cricket in India (BCCI). Controlled by unprincipled politicians belonging to different parties and powerful business men , BCCI  has virtually become a Band of Corrupt and Covering -up Individuals.The International Cricket Council ( ICC ) is a weak body which kneels before the might of the cash-rich BCCI.

A mercurial cricketer Sree Santh and two colleagues were arrested by Delhi Police for spot-fixing Indian Premier League matches.The news became sensational though the three are minor actors. Then the Mumbai Police entered the scene. It started exposing the deadly cocktail of Betting Mafia, Team Owners, Bollywood, Underworld, Intermediaries,Matchfixing/spot fixing, Sleaze, Honeytrap, and Money- laundering. The Chennai Super Kings, the team of  India Cements , and its CEO& Principal Gurunath Meiyappan,who was arrested, made headlines
