How Twitter reacted to Lodha Committee's IPL Verdict

In a historical judgement the Supreme Court-appointed Justice Lodha Committee suspended IPL franchises Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) for two years on Tuesday.

Former CSK team official and N Srinivasan's son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan and Rajasthan Royals co-owner Raj Kundra were suspended for life from any cricketing activity undertaken by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

Here is how twitter reacted on the judgement:

2/2 Great outcome for justice and integrity. No surprise first honest decision on Indian cricket and it comes from outside the BCCI.

Finally, honesty and justice. When will it come from within?

God bless Indian Judiciary for taking right, just & reasonable decision. But what about all those who were a part of these two Franchisees?

All bogus claims of Gurunath, Kundra, Srinivasan, India Cements & Rajasthan Royals busted by Justice Lodha Committee's brave & bold decision

Finally a real line in the sand...

Franchise that was owned by the ICC President suspended for wrong doing. He remains in post

Hearty congratulations to all consultants and bankers who will be involved in selling CSK to a group of 'totally unrelated' buyers.

Most significant import of Lodha verdict? Busted time-held defence of BCCI that it's a private society which can function with its own rules
