New Delhi: Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s stand that Gurunath Meiyappan was a “mere cricket enthusiast” supporting Chennai Super Kings has been contradicted by the Justice Mudgal IPL probe committee report.
The report, which was partly made public on Monday, has said that investigations have confirmed that Meiyappan was a team official of a franchisee (Chennai Super Kings). Dhoni, who had appeared before the committee, had maintained that Meiyappan, BCCI President-in-exile N Srinivasan’s son-in-law, was not an official of CSK. When contacted, Justice (Retd) Mudgal, who headed the committee, declined comment, saying that the matter was sub-judice. (PTI)
