Lalit Modi, the IPL’s founding architect, has launched a scathing attack on Lucknow Super Giants owner Sanjiv Goenka, labelling him a 'clown'. The row erupted after Goenka credited former BCCI Secretary Jay Shah for the league’s conception following its recent record-breaking valuations. Goenka attributed the IPL’s structural success and media rights architecture to Shah’s vision. Modi, who launched the league in 2008, reacted sharply on social media, accusing the billionaire of memory loss regarding who truly conceptualised the model nearly two decades ago. The exchange follows the billion-dollar sales of the RCB and Rajasthan Royals franchises. Ex-RCB Owner Vijay Mallya Reacts to Sale of IPL Franchise Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
