de facto
Srinivasan’s son-in-law, Gurunath Meiyappan, has been indicted for betting, and the report claims that he was indeed a team official of the CSK. The most powerful man in Indian cricket seems to have been surrounded by people who thought betting was par for the course. This should ordinarily have sent him packing from Indian cricket. But Jagmohan Dalmiya, another BCCI strongman, is going to get the entire East Zone block to vote for Srinivasan in the presidential polls of the BCCI, guaranteeing him victory. If that happens, what moral authority BCCI will have to crack down on bookies is anybody’s guess. The apex court may have to intervene.
