The Claimant, who was born in 1970, is a well known New Zealand cricketer who won 62 Test caps and captained his country in 7 Test matches. When the shorter formats of the game are included he represented New Zealand on 267 occasions. He is one of only a handful of men who have reached the “all rounders’ double” of 200 wickets and 3000 runs in international cricket. His last appearance for New Zealand in a Test match was in June 2004 and in a one day international in January 2006. 2. The Defendant was formerly the Chairman and Commissioner of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and Vice-President of the Board of Cricketing Control for India (BCCI). He was suspended from these positions in April 2010 and removed from them in September 2010. The IPL operates Twenty20 competitions in India which attract an enormous following and have changed the face of cricket. At the time of the events in question Mr Modi was a very powerful figure in world cricket. He is now resident in England.

  • 16, Feb 2017 Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium's Media Box - Where "Cricket Throbbed"
    16, Feb 2017 Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium's Media Box - Where "Cricket Throbbed" When Rajkot was allotted the Test Centre, local news papers, evening tabloids, Gujarati Channels etc. gave abundant coverage and pleased all the sports lovers. Till now Rajkot had witnessed ODIs, T-20s and even IPLmatches , but A Test Match is a different event, a new experience altogether . So, on the opening day atmosphere of first ever Test Match in Rajkot between India vs England from 9th to 13th November 2016 at the stadium was like a carnival !! Two local heroes Cheteshwar Pujara and Ravindra Jadeja's presence in the Indian Xl added flavour to this festive occasion. Ex-cricketers from this region were felicitated before the beginning of this Test match. It was indeed a historical event unfolding on this SCA Ground. However due to demonetisation(a day before the Test), stadium was not fully packed, people’s interest towards Test cricket is on decline but contrary to that the mood in the Media box was quite different! 15 to 20 journalists from England and 30 to 40 journalists who had came from different parts of India made the Media box at Rajkot so vibrant that it gave the message to the cricketing fraternity that ‘Test Cricket’ will throb till such ‘Test Cricket dedicated’ journalists exist ! It was my fourth test as a sports journalist. Earlier I had covered 1983 Ahmedabad’s Opening Test and the last one I covered in 2013 at Mumbai when Sachin Tendulkar played his farewell Test. When ODI reportings are becoming ‘routine’ now a days and T-20 reportings are just like fast food bites, Test Match reporting for me was a thrill.
