The IPL owners’ meeting exposed a shameless display of self-interest. KKR’s Shah Rukh Khan wants to limit mega auctions to hoard top players, while Punjab Kings’ Ness Wadia opposes this, fearing it will skew competition.

This selfish squabble risks turning the IPL into a rigged game favoring the richest teams. Mega auctions ensure fairness by giving all teams a shot at top talent. The BCCI must intervene to protect the sport’s integrity. Enough of this greed-driven nonsense—let the focus be on the game, not the owners’ wallets.
