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”.
