JSW Sports is open to acquiring an IPl team, but the sporting arm of $11 billion JSW Group is waiting for things to clear after a Supreme Court-appointed committee gave its report on the betting scandal that hit the star studded cricketing league.“As the JSW Group Chairman said we are interested in acquiring a IPl team. We are still interested in it, but the events in the past two days have forced us to wait and watch the situation and then take a decision after things are clear,” JSW Sports CEO Mustafa Ghouse told PTI.
He added that the situation is ‘too fluid’ for a company to take decision and it is better to ‘wait and watch’ how the situation unfolds in order to take any concrete decisions.On July 14, a three-member panel headed by former CJI RM lodha had suspended the Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led CSK and RR for two years from IPl in a clean up of cricket, hit by the 2013 betting scam involving their top officials Gurunath Meiyappan and Raj Kundra.
