I have decided to quit as I.P.L. Chairman. It is a decision which I was pondering over for some time.
I do not take up a responsibility unless I am sure of putting my heart and soul into it.
Misdeeds of a few players and certain people cannot and should not bring bad name to hundreds of players who participated in the I.P.L. with full honesty. The reputation of the I.P.L. cannot be tarnished by a few greedy individuals.
I realise that, strutting around in power corridors for political coverage, a journalist becomes half a politician.
Sehwag shall be remembered for his explosive and natural cricketing skills. Wish him all success on his birthday.
I have always believed that what goes around comes around.
