Cricket News - by Craig Hill

Mallya serves a warning...

May 12th 2008 13:49
Vijay Mallya has made it clear that the Indian Premier League is not all about cricket, it is also similar to a corporate entity, where in the owners need to see some visible progress in terms of results. Else, the pink slips would be doled like the ones handed out to their CEO, Charu Sharma.

People have to understand IPL has a corporate side to it. It is not all cricket in the traditional sense. I just want to tell Rahul Dravid to do the best he can with this team and produce results. Dravid doesn't enjoy being at the bottom of the league and neither do I

However, the biggest thing that seems to have hit him is that he had a different that needed to be chosen before the first and the second auction, and the team that got chosen by Dravid and Charu Sharma, was very much akin to a team could have taken on the World Test XI. And when quizzed about the same, Dravid had replied back saying that it is a class team and it should perform well.

With that not happening, Mallya chose to serve a warning to the team by letting the first head roll and Brijesh Patel has now been elected as the CEO of the team.

Where this team goes from here, is anyone's guess, but Mallya definitely means business.
