Tendulkar mum on Mudgal report

E-Paper | February 23, 2026

NEW DELHI: Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar on Monday refused to comment on Justice Mudgal Committee’s report on the 2013 Indian Premier League (IPL) spot-fixing and betting scandal.

Tendulkar, a Rajya Sabha member, said here that the Supreme Court will look into the case, and it was not wise for him to make a comment.

“The honorable Supreme Court is hearing the case. It wouldn’t be wise for me to make a comment on it now,” Tendulkar was quoted as saying by televison channels.

The Supreme Court’s hearing of the Mudgal panel’s report on the IPL spot-fixing inquiry resumed on Monday, with the apex court rapping suspended BCCI chief N. Srinivasan for owning an IPL team (Chennai Super Kings) while remaining at the helm of the cricket establishment, saying that the sport should remain a “gentleman’s game”.

@Indian Christian : Stop this nonsense please. Cricket is not a religion and this midget is not our God. Even 4 years ago he said that he had not personally seen any player being approached by bookies. Such a liar. He is not even 10th in my list of great batsmen. 1) Bradman 2) Viv Richards 3) Sobers 4) Hobbs 5) Gavaskar 6) Lara 7) Ponting 8) Chapell G 9) Hutton 11) Headley 12) Hussey and Crowe 14) Waugh S 15) Gooch 16) Sangakkara 17) Cook 18) Pietersen 19) DeVilliers 20) Amla.35) Border.50) Kallis.83) Gilchrist.150) Gower .175) Clarke .190) Sachin

India is country where VIPs are morally corrupt and foreigners get frequently mugged.They are proud of their indian nationalism so much so that its deafening and blinding their sense of national responsibility towards civilising themselves and the world around. The best they can do is just dream and drink and dream........

@Harsh Sachin may not be a great batsman for you and you only. But for most people, he is a great player. Many people watched cricket only to see him batting.
