While money talks the loudest in the world of cricket betting, there&rsquo;s more to the lexicon than a layman can envision. (Can you guess who these players are?) <img alt="" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/may/Code.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 99px;" /> The transcripts of conversations between Gurunath Meiyappan and Vindu Dara Singh are proving to be a handy glossary for cops probing the IPL spot-fixing case, which reveals that the duo used certain code words while referring to different players, models, bookies, amounts etc. This was disclosed in the remand copy submitted by Crime Branch in the metropolitan magistrate&rsquo;s court yesterday. <img alt="" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/may/Cricket-1.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 486px;" /> For instance, captain of the Indian cricket team and Chennai Super Kings Mahendra Singh Dhoni was named Helicopter, rampaging West Indian batsman Chris Gayle was dubbed Raavan, peerless Lankan pacer Lasith Malinga was referred to as Makkhi and flamboyant left-handed batsman Yuvraj Singh was tagged as Model. <img alt="" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/may/Cricket-2.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 507px;" /> &ldquo;Though most of the codes in the conversation intercepted by us are comprehensible, there are certain words that still have to be worked out. So, we have asked for Meiyappan&rsquo;s custody, which the court has agreed to and will be in our care till May 31,&rdquo; a highly-placed Crime Branch official told MiD DAY on the condition of anonymity. <img alt="Vindu Dara Singh" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/may/Vindu-Dara-Singh_3.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 402px;" /> Meanwhile, investigations have revealed that Meiyappan was using a phone for conducting business, which was registered in the name of his servant, Kamlanath P. The latter will be soon summoned to the Crime Branch office for questioning. <img alt="Gurunath Meiyappan" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/may/Gurunath-Meiyappan_4.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 427px;" /> There are still some code names that Crime Branch officials have to decipher from the conversations between Gurunath Meiyappan and Vindu Dara Singh.
