Amin: IPL-4 bigger, better, less of a party
Baroda, April 27: IPL interim chief Chirayu Amin on Tuesday said efforts are on to clean up the Twenty20 event and promised a “bigger, better and transparent” IPL next year. “The job has just started and I am getting involved. Over a period of time, we will get into the details,” Mr Amin said. Mr Amin
replaced the high-flying Lalit Modi, who was suspended barely a few minutes after the IPL-3 final awards ceremony on Sunday.
“The show will go on. IPL-4 will be on schedule and it will be bigger and better. The cleaning up is already happening. My job is to run IPL in the most transparent manner,” he added.
He also has some changes in mind for the event, one of them being to stop the after-match IPL parties introduced by Mr Modi. “I don’t know about the cheerleaders, but the IPL nights will be stopped,” he said.
Asked about his style of functioning, Mr Amin said it would be there for everyone to see in the coming days. “I have my own working style which will evolve. Flamboyance has got nothing to do with cricket. Cricket is itself a religion, it sells itself,” he said. “My job is to interact with franchises and assure them that their investment is safe and will flourish,” he said. —PTI
