The Illegally-legal Controversy - The courtroom battle that decided the fate of the Gujarat IPL team

IPL 2022
This IPL marked the introduction of two new teams into the IPL
the process starting from an auction on 25th October 2021
from Adani group to Manchester united to even Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh all having shown interest in owning a team
and when the bids were finally open
RPSG group - Sanjiv Goenka nabbed the top billing with 7000 crores with a British equity group named CVC capital nabbing the Ahmedabad franchise in the second spot
but with Exi-pl commissioner and founder Lalit modi pointing out that the cvc group owns betting companies on twitter
the BCCI got put into a huge legal entanglement that put the upcoming ipl at risk
what followed was a lot of legal maneuvering loopholes in laws and finding ways around the public gambling act of 1864
today we take you into the bewildering journey of Betting in India from fantasy gaming APPs like Dream 11 sponsoring IPL when betting on Cricket itself is Illegal in India.
The journey that did get us gujarat titans in the end
but also taught us an important fact regarding today's cricket.

Our players have literally fought against all odds around the globe to emerge so powerful and successful. We dont only deserve this but also r legitimate leaders in taking the game to its zenith by producing legendary players year after year... So, no issues, as present is glorious and future is Utmost Promising for our players and fans... cheers...🍻🍻🏏🇮🇳❤

Brother I am a lawyer and your explanation on Game of chance & Game of skill could not have been more wrong. Betting of all kinds is banned in India (except goa & sikkim). The games of chance & skill are just GAMES only in the eyes of law. So when you play games in casino, that is a game of chance and that is illegal. But whn you play games like KBC or Dream11, that is a game of skill because the luck factor is very minimum in such games. That is the supreme court explanation and seems very plausible.

[@shubhamjindal1298]

@@AoptimisticNihilist You have to analyze each and every player's strengths and weaknesses and then form a team in Dream11 after many permutations and combinations. That requires skill. Those who don't have this skill make multiple teams and enter single contest with multiple teams in order to hit a fluke with any one of the team. As this practice of making multiple teams is so much prevalent (and is also promoted by Dream11 itself), the general idea behind the app seems out to be in favour of luck. But the game was not designed for this format. It was originally conceptualized as a game of skill only. Therefore, the Supreme Court ruled it as a game of skill.
