The third edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) may be over but the final match between the BCCI and beleaguered IPL chief has just got into the slog overs.
After the IPL final on Sunday where Chennai beat Mumbai, the BCCI emailed a 34-page charge sheet against Lalit Modi listing 22 charges of impropriety ranging from financial irregularities to rigging bids proxy holdings and kickbacks in broadcast deal.
Lalit Modi was suspended as the IPL Commissioner and issued a show-cause notice capping two weeks of raging controversy over financial wrong-doings in the hugely popular cricket tournament.
The BCCI acted swiftly to suspend Modi, giving 15 days time to explain why disciplinary action should not be taken against him after he made a surprise announcement that he would participate and chair the meeting of the IPL's Governing Council on Monday morning.
A defiant Modi however refuses to go down without a fight. After the IPL final last night, he made a speech saying IPL has been a great success and that he is ready to reply to all the charges.
Possible next steps for Modi include taking the BCCI to court which may happen sooner rather than later. Modi may also now lobby for support among high profile people who have spoken in support of him.
Modi is also gearing up to hit back at the governing council, perhaps hit back at individuals.
