Lalit Modi, the former chairman of the Indian Premier League (IPL), has stirred controversy by alleging that some franchises have resorted to 'black magic' to secure victories in matches. This revelation comes after a video surfaced showing a fan performing a 'lemon trick' at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium during a match between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Following the incident, an unverified complaint letter supposedly from CSK began circulating online. Initially, Modi supported the claim but later dismissed the letter as fake. He stated on his X account that while the recent allegations seem unfounded, he recalled instances from the past where a team owner engaged in similar practices, even warning opposing team owners about it during the 2011 season. Despite the sensational nature of these claims, there has been no official confirmation from IPL authorities or any franchises regarding the authenticity of the allegations or the letter. In the match in question, SRH managed to defeat CSK by 10 runs, showcasing a strong bowling performance after a promising start from CSK.
