Former Indian cricket board president Inderjit Singh Bindra, an influential member of the Indian Premier League (IPL) Governing Council, feels suspended IPL chairman Lalit Modi was a victim of unfair vilification and lauded him as marketing genius who has changed the landscape of Indian crikcet.

Saying that he is not holding any brief for Modi, Bindra said the IPL commissioner deserved a better appreciation of his work and a fair trial if anyone thinks he has committed any serious mistakes.
