IPL bends rule to keep Sharukh Khan happy - introduces Owners Pass
May 19th, 2008Mumbai - Partho Mitra
IPL Commisioner Lalit Modi rushed in to bend rules and keep Franchisee Owner Shahrukh Khan happy. IPL is now issuing a Red Pass for Franchisee Owners or their represenatives with which they should have access to the players dressing room and dug-out area in the field. However, the duration of such visit should not exceed 15 minutes - Modi said in a press meet today.
Earlier to this Shahrukh was seen moving around in the field freely during the match and even shared a few moments in the Chennai Super Kings Dug-out while his team battled with them in the field. The ICC anti-corruption rightly took exception of this action and asked him to stay away from such mis-adventures as per the code-of-conduct.
Khan already upset with his teams dismal performance in the DLF-IPL league announced his decision to stay away from the field for the remaining matches.

The new IPL rule which came in today was not taken well by many including former cricketer Sandip Patil who was upfront in asking the IPL Governing body as to why this kind of a pass is introduced only now when the tournament is well past a month.
