New Delhi: The controversy behind the Kochi team has taken another turn when it was finally revealed that former India captain Sunil Gavaskar is the 'big player' who had helped the Kochi franchise pull off a stunning coup in the controversial Indian Premier League auction.
This was confirmed by the Gaikwad family which owns 25 per cent free equity and 1 per cent paid equity in the team. Gavaskar is said to have masterminded the creation of Rendezvous Sports World Pvt Ltd.
It was under the guidance of Sunil Gavasker that they decided to bid for Kochi franchise. Gavaskar was to look into the IPL Kochi's cricketing operations for a stake in the franchise.
Gavaskar had recently been dropped from the IPL governing council after the board decided not to pay any former cricketer on that board, and did not even ask Gavaskar about his availability.
