Mumbai: Is there magic on the IPL stage? Yes, such a sensational allegation has been made by the founder of the tournament, Lalid Modi. Some time ago a video clip went viral on social media. The match was Sunrisers vs Chennai Super Kings. In that match, a Sunrisers fan was seen in the stadium with a lemon in his hand, and a Chennai wicket fell on the very next ball.
It was later learned that a fake letter in the name of CSK was circulated on social media, where the Sunrisers were accused of black magic by their supporters. This whole thing is said to be false IPLFormer Chairman of But at the same time Lalit Modi also said that a franchise owner used to perform black magic in the tournament.
In his social media post, Lalit Modi wrote, “The viral video clip and the letter circulating on social media seem to be fake. But one team owner was involved in this kind of thing, I remember, I once posted that one team owner did that against the opposing team, just like that going into the opposing team’s dressing room. I alerted the opposing team’s owners when this incident occurred in the 2011 season and when I received a warning with specific evidence. I will later expose all such activities and who did them in a movie or TV series as per my team’s decision.”
While making serious allegations about Kalajadu, Lalit Modi did not say anything clearly about which franchise owner would have done such a thing. A few days ago he made a comment about Yuvraj Singh. Lalit Modi said, ‘During the T20 World Cup in 2007, I Indian teamI went to the dressing room and told the boys, if anyone can hit six sixes or take six wickets in a match, I will give him a Porsche car. I was on the sidelines when Yuvraj hit six sixes against England. The funny thing is, after hitting six sixes, he came and said to me, where is my Porsche? Later Yuvraj wanted a BMW. Because at that time it would take several months to bring Porsche from abroad. I asked him for his bat and he accepted it with a smile. He foolishly bought a BMW instead of a Porsche. The current market price of that bat? 50 Porsches can be bought.’
