Lalit Kumar Modi is a businessman and cricket administrator who is currently absconded. He was the founder and the first chairman of the Indian Premier League. He ran the tournament for three years until 2010. Also, he served as the Chairman of the Champions League during 2008–10.

Everybody loves IPL because of the limited over format but can imagine a 50-over IPL format? Sounds weird, right?
Months after the 50-over world cup, Lalit Modi had proposed an inter-city 50-over tournament in 1996 with overseas players and local players.

However, the then BCCI chief Jagmohan Dalmiya had shot down the idea. Well, there're a lot more interesting stories related to Lalit Modi and for that, we all have to wait for the film on IPL — 'Maverick Commissioner: The IPL — Lalit Modi Saga'.
