IPL was Lalit Modi’s idea.
A big statement has come from Indian cricket administrator and former BCCI Secretary Niranjan Shah. Let us tell you that in one of his statements, Niranjan has called IPL the child of former IPL chairman Lalit Modi.

Niranjan Shah gave a big statement
Let us tell you that while talking about the changes in the Indian cricket world after IPL, Niranjan Shah was quoted by RevSports as saying – We cannot ignore what Lalit (Modi) has done. I don’t want to go into what’s happening right now. But his (Lalit Modi) role in starting IPL was a game changer.
Niranjan Shah further said- The idea of IPL came to Lalit when I was the Secretary of BCCI. We all fully supported Lalit. It was a completely democratic process, and he had complete freedom to do his work. IPL was her child and she gave birth to it. At that time we did not know how big a success it was for Indian cricket. We all know that the credit for this goes to Lalit.
