We have Lalit Modi in conversation with Raj Shamani. Lalit Modi is the founder of the IPL and the former Vice President of the BCCI. In this episode, you’ll see his raw and real side as he addresses many of the controversies surrounding him. We talked to him about his childhood, including why he was bullied in school for being rich, and heard stories of the fun he had during his college days. We then delved into how he created the entertainment business in India and worked with the BCCI to revolutionize cricket dynamics in the country. He shared the entire story of how he transformed the BCCI from making barely any money to generating thousands of crores a year. We also discussed how he created the IPL, how he brought Shah Rukh Khan and other top personalities into the league, and how he got them ready for the auction. He revealed an interesting story about announcing the launch of the IPL before even securing confirmation from players. Towards the end, he shared his thought process behind making the IPL grand and successful, what happened after the success of its first season, and why he started receiving death threats from Dawood Ibrahim. We concluded by talking about why he left the IPL, the tragic story of his suspension from the BCCI, why he left India, and the controversies surrounding it.
