    I do not understand as to why the Central Govt. does not legalize these IPL Matches, like horse racing as an example in India.It is silly on the part of the Central Govt.High time they changed their attitude.

    All Indian politicians want to make their buck illegally, but the rule is not for the general Indian public.One way traffic ! No doubt the AAP is coming up voluntarily.

    Sorry sir, this IPL is a lost game. Its nothing but betting. Lalith Modi was hand picked by none other than Maratha strong man, Sharad Power...to do the IPL business. But bechara Modi can not come back to India and Power with his power still ruling. He is not guilty because he has blessed from Madam Tutsud. Suresh Kalmadi started acting crazy after he found guilty of CWG...! and he was not charged because he was mentally ill....! AAP want to get rid of this kind of business and wants to make India clean of corruption. Jaadu.
