JUSTICE MUDGAL IPL PROBE COMMITTEE 201429discussed with Mr. Anil Kumble and Mr. Rahul Dravid. Mr.Anil Kumble based on an analysis of the video footage ofthe dismissals did not find anything suspicious in thedismissals and infact acknowledged the adroit role of Mr.Rahul Dravid in getting Mr. M.S. Dhoni trapped by a catchin the slips. Mr. Rahul Dravid, who was the captain of theIPL team, Rajasthan Royals in answer to specific queriesalso agreed that there was nothing suspicious about thefall of the two wickets and pointed out that it is alwaysnecessary to bring in a slip fielder during the openingstages of Mr. M.S. Dhoni’s innings. This strategyapparently succeeded on that particular day.As noted above, Mr. Gurunath Meiyappan, in fact, lost incourse of the day’s betting, if the tapes are to be believed.He was originally betting on the IPL team, Chennai SuperKings, to win but when Mr. M.S. Dhoni and Mr. SureshRaina fell in the 12 th over, he started to cover up his betsby betting on IPL team, Rajasthan Royals. It was only inthe 13 th over, that Mr. Gurunath Meiyappan informed Mr.Vindoo Dara Singh that the team would definitely scorebetween 130 to 140 runs.Was this a calculation by Mr. Gurunath Meiyappan, a mereforecast? Or, was it his prior knowledge of a fixed match?The interactors have uniformly taken up a position thatwithout the involvement of atleast a couple of importantplayers and more particularly the captain of the team, itwould be highly improbable to fix a particular match.
