The IPL has been surrounded with controversies this year as well. After the drought in Maharashtra, the Bombay High Court had slammed the Mumbai Cricket Association and the BCCI about organising of IPL matches in the state. The court had asked cricketing bodies – “How can you waste water like this? Are people more important or IPL? How can you be so careless? This is criminal wastage. You know the situation in Maharashtra.”
After 12 matches of the IPL, Gujarat Lions stay at the top of the points table and each team has won atleast one match in the tournament so far. KKR will face KXIP in the 13th match of the IPL tonight.
