Incredible, but true! An astrologer by the name Venkatesan is the guiding spirit and de facto captain of the CSK team. His writ runs in all the decisions and not the real Captain Dhoni`s. the owner of the CSK team has full faith in this astrologer who has been guiding him in his business up to now.Venkatesan decides the batting order, whether to bat or field if the toss has been called correctly etc. He also draws mystical tantric figures outside the stadiums where the matches of the team are played and conducts 'havans', sacrificial yagnas for the benefit of the team.Today is the final of the IPL tournament between the chennai team and the Mumbai Indians team and it remains to be seen whether this astrologers predictions will work in favour for the CSK team or not.Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been reduced to a hapless spectator which shows his demeanor on the field.

Astrology is an ancient sacred science that has been in use for several millenniums by various cultures to answer questions not answerable by ordinary means. Astrology measures subtle energies not yet measurable in physical laboratories. Ancient Indians of the yore wouldn't use a science if it didn't produce usable results. Let us not condemn a sacred science that has been around for ages. I have all my respect for Venkatesan and Dhoni.

Veejay, astrology is like clock's pointers, which merely indicates the time, the time does not run according to the clock.

Well I too predicted that CSK will win before the match was started and no one believed me. Since the start of semis my predictions were become true, may be I have great future in Astrology, what do you say Veejay. Most of the IPL matches were match fixing in my view.. I do not know how true this Astrologer predictions but his wild guess has worked in his favour is what I can say..

OMG is this true? From where did you learn of this misconduct? What more skeletons will tumble out of cupboards now! And the image of the country is forever dented!!! Just a few weeks ago when IPL was on in full swing, I was reading an interview by Lalit Modi that he intended to take cricket to China and US and project India as a beacon in the cricket world thru IPL…as an Indian and ardent cricket fan, I was so enthusiastic about his future plans and quite proud of him too! But look now he’s brought so much ignominy to this game and also to us Indians…reinforcing the belief that corruption runs rampant here in every field.

Lalit Modi has nothing to do with this piece of news sudipta. This news item had appeared in the TV news channel India TV a day before the final. India Tv is famous for sensationalizing news and controversies. I have taken this with a pinch of salt but eventually the result did come out in CSK`s favour didn`t it? If this astrologer had predicted Chennai team`s win it did come true. But i do give credit to the efforts of the team for their win.As for Modi, he has done a good job and if his aim was to spread cricket beyond the existing countries, it is very good for cricket. However when total power goes in to the hands of one person, his ego becomes inflated and he becomes autocratic and a despot. Now he in trouble because of his own actions and is likely to be removed. He is a fighter and refuses to give up.Lets wait and see what happens in the next few days.
