"... And within six months since submitting its report, we have decided to implement the Lodha committee report in total and in spirit. Whatever they have recommended, we are going to implement it. We respect the verdict and accordingly we are going to act. All the members, they have given their opinion, their views have been solicited. They have given their opinion what should be done, what should be the fate of the league in future. And we can say that everybody is of the opinion that the show must go on. The value of the league should be enhanced. So IPL 9, I'm still saying and I reiterate this, is going to be better than the previous editions."

"After, once the Supreme Court-appointed committee has given a judgement - they are looking into the matter - I think there is no scope for other things."
