From being ideated and implemented by Lalit Modi in the year 2008, to becoming one of the richest sporting leagues in the world today-- the Indian Premier League (IPL) has become bigger, better, and richer each year. But Modi, who built IPL with his own rules, was later questioned and banned for life from it by the administration! In his new book 'Maverick Commissioner', journalist-author Boria Majumdar writes about Lalit Modi's exceptional journey and the business that IPL has turned into today.
"'Maverick Commissioner' is a riveting account of the IPL and the functioning of its founder, Lalit Kumar Modi. Did Modi have a long telephone conversation with a BCCI top brass the day he left India for good? What really was discussed? Is Lalit Modi the absent present for the IPL and Indian cricket?... 'Maverick Commissioner' documents things exactly as they happened. No holds barred and no questions left out. It doesn’t judge Lalit Modi. All it does is narrate his story. Who is the real Lalit Modi? Let the readers decide," reads a portion of the book's blurb.
