Of Lalit's take, IPL's fake!
IPL - Season 2

First, he did the impossible; now he wants to dwell on it.

IPL Commissioner and Chairman Lalit Modi [Images] was hailed after showing great resolve to shift the Indian Premier League's [Images] second season to South Africa [Images] at just three weeks' notice. Now he is attempting to clear all doubts and criticism about the tournament on his personal blog.

'Much of the commentary about the DLF IPL is written in a vacuum, without the reporter doing due diligence, looking at the numbers, talking to those involved, balancing the story out,' he wrote in the first post on his blog at IPL's official Web site http://www.iplt20.com

Lalit Modi and Preity Zinta'Consider this blog my small attempt towards that balance: Over the duration of this tournament and even beyond, I hope to use this platform to address concerns, talk of strategies and of our plans, goals, hopes, dreams and desires. As with any financial enterprise, there will be aspects of our operation that are not meant for the public domain -- but whatever is within my power to share, I will.'

But not all blogs are turning out good platforms for the IPL.

The Shah Rukh [Images] Khan-owned Kolkata Knight Riders [Images] is spending sleepless nights over a blog (http://fakeiplplayer.blogspot.com/) that is providing insights on the team's dressing room talk, strategies and other details.

What is worrying the KKR management is that the perpetrator, who goes by the name Fake IPL Player, is either a player or a team official.

King Khan [Images] will need to draw on all his experience of playing Badshah to locate the villain.
