New Delhi: The growing scale of the IPL spot-fixing scam notwithstanding, Sunday's final of the event would go ahead as per schedule and the embattled Chennai Super Kings would also continue to be a part of the league despite the arrest of its top official on allegations of betting.CSK seem to be a team in turmoil after Gurunath Meiyappa, son-in-law of BCCI President N Srinivasan and the CEO of the side, was arrested by the Mumbai Police on Friday.Asked whether CSK would face termination as per clause 12.3 (c) of the IPL contracts for team, the source said, "so far the allegations have not been proved in the court of law. A person has to be found guilty, right now the Mumbai Police are interrogating him (Gurunath)."
The clause provides for termination if a franchisee, any franchisee group company and/or any owner acts in any way which adversely affects the reputation or standing of the league, the BCCI-IPL or the game of cricket. The final, between Chennai Super Kings and the Mumbai Indians, will go ahead at the Eden Gardens, a top BCCI revealed.
Kolkata: Rajasthan Royals skipper Rahul Dravid hopes that investigators "get to the bottom of the mess and reveal the truth" about spot fixing."I believe truth sets you free. I sincerely hope that we get to the bottom of this mess and reveal whatever the truth is, no matter how painful it is," Dravid told media persons after his team went down fighting to the Mumbai Indians in the second qualifier match at the Eden Gardens Friday.Batting for the league, Dravid said the menace of betting was not peculiar to the IPL. "Betting is not an issue only with the IPL, but also with the international cricket. But you don`t stop the game for that. Instead of making big statements like cancelling the IPL, I think we must all focus on facing the challenge.""IPL is a fantastic tournament with lots of positives. But then there will be challenges which one has to face. There is no point throwing the baby out with the bathwater," said Dravid.The IPL scam, which seems to be getting bigger by the day, came to light when Rajasthan Royals` S. Sreesanth, Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan were arrested on spot fixing charges last week.
Chennai Super King`s Gurunath Meiyappan, who is the son-in-law of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Narayanswamy Srinivasan, was arrested late Friday.Admitting that the scandal has come as a rude shock, the stylish batsman said it would take time for him and his team members to overcome it.
"You plan for lot of things including failures and disappointment. But when a thing like this comes up, you don`t know what to do. It`s challenging. It will take time for all of us to get over this," Dravid added.
