'IPL's image bigger than Chennai Super Kings, Rajasthan Royals'

As the Supreme Court adjourned its hearing on the findings of the Mukul Mudgal-led committee probing the Indian Premier League betting and spot-fixing scam to March 25, cricket commentator Charu Sharma along with journalist Pradeep Magazine discuss and analyze BCCI's reply to the apex court with NDTV. The Board, in its response to the report, said "speculative and baseless" charges against leading cricketers have been made by "unscrupulous" news channels and the apex court must pass an order to prevent any further damage to the image and reputation of "innocent" cricketers. Charu Sharma said that even if the board gets rid of the two franchises in question - the Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals - the league in itself is bigger than the teams and good enough to get new owners for those sides.
