Reports of Rendezvous Sports World serving a legal notice to Indian Premier League boss Lalit Modi caused a ripple in Indian cricket administration yesterday.

Sahir Hussain, a Delhi-based lawyer, who specialises in corporate litigation said, "As chairman and commissioner of the IPL, Modi is well within his limits to divulge information to the public about the tournament he is managing," said Hussain.

"When such a big company is operating on this sort of scale, the public needs to know the owners so I don't think Modi has done anything wrong here," said Chomal.
Indian cricket board president Shashank Manohar is believed to have reprimanded Modi for posting details of the Kerala team stakes.
