New Delhi: The Lord of Cricket, N Srinivasan’s son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan, admits to ‘friendly betting’ in IPL 6 matches through Vindoo Dara Singh.
As reported in a news channel, the CSK team official was indicted last month for betting and sharing team information by an inquiry committee formed by the Supreme Court. The report, submitted by a three-member panel headed by retired Justice Mukul Mudgal, is scheduled for hearing in the apex court on Friday. CSK had pleaded the team should not be penalised for actions of Meiyappan.
It faulted Meiyappan for flouting IPL rules as well as the IPL code of conduct for players and team officials by bringing the game of cricket into disrepute and the IPL anti-corruption code by indulging in betting.
