This is a politics column, so what is cricket doing here, you ask?
Well, N Srinivasan is the kind of cricket administrator politicians
deeply, deeply envy. So. 'Once I tell means thousand times I tell, mind
it!' is a motto revered Srini Sir could have coined. Many have tried to
drag him out of his BCCI chair. Tried, avalathaan. Time and time again.
Pullingam. Pushingam. But always failingam.
Meiyappan is Srini's daughter's bettor half. And bettor he is. He has confessed to some 'friendly betting' with the help of a certain Vindoo Dara Singh. All this has landed Srini Sir's team, the Chennai Super Kings, in a spot of trouble. The Supreme Court, which wants the team barred from the IPL, has whiplashed Srini, telling him enough is enough, move it and let the cops check out who was doing what during the matches.
That's not all. The court's suggestion that Sunny replace Srini has sent pleasant shock waves in cricketing circles. Our resident cricket fan mistook Sunny to mean Sunny Leone, the movie star who fields in the slips (and sometimes without slips, too). When realisation dawns that the replacement is the avuncular Sunny Gavaskar and not the stunning Sunny Leone (born Karenjit Kaur Vohra), much disappointment lies in store. These cricket fans can be wicket, er, wicked, no?
