IPL should be closed, ban on SRK wrong: Lalu

New Delhi: With the Indian Premier League hit by controversies, RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav today demanded that the tournament should be closed down. “IPL should be closed,” he told reporters outside Parliament House when asked to react on the spat between Shah Rukh Khan and Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) officials and other controversies surrounding the game.

The Mumbai Cricket Association today banned Kolkata Knight Riders co-owner and Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan from entering the Wankhede Stadium for five years for misbehaving with its officials and violating its rules.
