There is a buzz on the internet that a big franchise is offering him a deal worth crores to include him in their team.
According to viral claims, Mumbai Indians owner Nita Ambani has made a huge offer of Rs 30 crore to lure Vaibhav into her team. Not only this, it is also being said in the posts that this young player has been promised a flat in Mumbai's luxurious Antilia, a blank check and a private island in Maldives.
Lalit Modi told the truth
To stop this rumor growing on the internet, former IPL commissioner Lalit Modi himself had to come forward. He termed all these news circulating on social media as completely fabricated, misleading and false. Lalit Modi made it clear that no such private deal has ever been made with any player in the history of IPL.
Strict rules of IPL
According to cricket experts, the strict rules of IPL do not allow any such under-the-table or straight cash deals. The Governing Council of BCCI has made strict rules for all the franchises, so that the transparency of the tournament is maintained. No team can go above the rules and sign a player by directly luring him with money or property.
Player transfer process
There are only two legal ways to include any player in the team in IPL. The first method is IPL auction and the second method is trading window, in which mutual consent of both the franchises is required. Apart from these two official processes, transferring any player through backdoor is completely illegal and against the rules.
salary cap restrictions
Apart from this, a salary cap i.e. budget limit is fixed for every franchise in IPL. Teams cannot make separate secret payments to any player out of their purse balance. If any franchise is found guilty of doing so, the BCCI can impose a heavy fine on it as well as ban it from the tournament.
Advice to stay away from rumors
It is clear that Vaibhav Suryavanshi is a rising big star of Indian cricket, but the news of Rs 30 crore being spread about him is completely fake news. Cricket fans should avoid believing any such sensational and unofficial rumors floating on social media and should always believe the official statements of BCCI.
