Loud Thinking May 27, 2013 at 10:38AM

An Excerpt from a TOI News

The moment Ravi Shastri announced the name of the controversial BCCI president, there was a loud jeer from the 61,000 odd crowd present at the stadium which reminded a lot of how former IOA chief Suresh Kalmadi was booed at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Delhi at the closing ceremony of the Commonwealth Games, 2010.

Srinivasan decided not to resign from board president’s post despite his son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan being arrested by Mumbai Police on charges of betting and passing on information to the bookies.

Clad in navy blue suit and with a sky blue shirt, Srinivasan wore a gloomy look during the presentation ceremony and was not certainly amused when there was collective booing as soon as Shastri announced his name.

The second time when his name was announced to present the winners’ trophy, there was a deathly silence followed by another round of jeers with most of the spectators leaving for home.
