India Srinivasan dismisses fixing charges
BCCI secretary and Chennai Super Kings franchise owner N Srinivasan today dismissed reports that he tried to fix the bid for England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff during the IPL 2009 player auction. ''I did not need anybody's favour. Rajasthan Royals bid for 1.5 million dollars for Flintoff, I beat them at 1.55 million dollars. So where is the deal? How can I have any deal? How can Modi have control of Shane Warne unless he is the owner of the Rajasthan Royals. ''Hundred per cent I am telling you, we did nothing wrong. We won fair and square. We were the only one who could have bought only player because I had the full purse. I did not need anybody's favour,'' he told Times Now. ''The Chennai Super Kings is the only team which had the two million dollars in the purse. Everybody else had less, so we did not need anybody's favour to buy Flintoff,'' he added. According to media reports, IPL chairman and commisioner Lalit Modi, who is also accused of helping Srinivasan, was quoted as sending an email to Srinivasan, which read: ''What a nightmare to convince them not to terminate (Sohail) Tanvir and also not to take Flintoff. Warne went off the handle. But have managed it by using stick and carrot strategy. Thus they have 1.875 million dollars. Much love Lalit.'' This is not the first time that Srinivasan has found himself in a controversy. He has also been accused of bribing umpires for matches involving Chennai Super Kings during the IPL. -- (UNI) -- 26SPD43.xml
