No one is given IPL contract because he is someone's friend's son: Aakash Chopra

By Saurabh Sharma June 27, 2020 • 16:07 PM View: 929

New Delhi, June 27: Former India opener Aakash Chopra denied nepotism being rampant in the highest levels of Indian cricket but said that there have been cases when it has happened in the lower levels of domestic cricket.

"I have seen it happening in a state team where a player was a captain for a long time. He was an administrator's son, not a player's. He was not a very good player and his stats also show it. But at the highest level, it never happens. No one is given an IPL contract because he is someone's friend's son or someone's nephew," Aakash said on his Youtube show AakashVani.
