Kochi: Former CEO of Royal Challengers Bangalore, Charu Sharma, who was sacked from the post midway through the Indian Premier League (IPL), said he could not understand how it benefitted the team.
On the sidelines of a book release function here last night, Sharma, without naming anybody, said "I am not here for slugging anyone, but it is important for the owners of the team to understand are they owners of cricket or are they owners of these players or owners of certain team".
"Cricket will be played on the field which has its own story and its own drama to be played out every match," he said, adding, "you cannot guarantee or engineer that".
Pointing out that the owners should also be sensitised, he said, "If you are owning an entity, performance of which cannot be guaranteed... it was important for the owners to understand and if they do not understand that there will be frustration", Sharma said.
"I was a victim of impatience or lack of understanding of what Twenty20 is and ownership is all about," he said.
