The Illegally-legal Controversy - The courtroom battle that decided the fate of the Gujarat IPL team

IPL 2022
This IPL marked the introduction of two new teams into the IPL

the process starting from an auction on 25th October 2021
from Adani group to Manchester united to even Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh all having shown interest in owning a team

and when the bids were finally open
RPSG group - Sanjiv Goenka nabbed the top billing with 7000 crores with a British equity group named CVC capital nabbing the Ahmedabad franchise in the second spot

but with Exi-pl commissioner and founder Lalit modi pointing out that the cvc group owns betting companies on twitter
the BCCI got put into a huge legal entanglement that put the upcoming ipl at risk

what followed was a lot of legal maneuvering loopholes in laws and finding ways around the public gambling act of 1864

today we take you into the bewildering journey of Betting in India from fantasy gaming APPs like Dream 11 sponsoring IPL when betting on Cricket itself is Illegal in India.

The journey that did get us gujarat titans in the end
but also taught us an important fact regarding today's cricket.
